A cynical block on an air table vibrates horizontally in SHM with an amplitude of 8.0cm and a frequency of 1.50Hz. If a smaller
AveGali [126]

Answer:

μ = 0.724

Explanation:

maximum acceleration for SHM

a = ω²A

ω = 2πf

a = 4π²f²A

a = 4π²(1.50)²(0.080) = 7.106... m/s²

μ = F/N = ma/mg = a/g = 7.106/9.81 = 0.7243...

I'm cynical that a block can be cynical. Wassa madder, doesn't trust anyone?

Which statements accurately describe Ernest Rutherford’s experiment? Check all that apply.
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Option (1), option (4) and option (5)

Explanation:

The main observations of Ernest Rutherford's experiment are given below:

1. most of the positively charged particles pass straight, it means there is an empty space in the atom.

2. Very few positively charged particles retraces their path.

So,

The positively charged particles were deflected because like charges repel, that means they are deflected by protons.

Almost all the positively charge concentrate in a very small part which is called nucleus.

Match the situation with the energy transformation ITEMBANK: Move to Top A boy shooting a rubber band across the classroom A chi
Sonbull [250]
A boy shooting a rubber band across the classroom --> 
Elastic potential energy transformed into kinetic energy 
<span>The initial energy is the energy stored in the muscles of the boy's arm, which is elastic potential energy. This is converted into motion of the rubber, therefore kinetic energy

A child going down a slide on a playground --> </span>Gravitational potential energy transformed into kinetic energy 
On top of the slide, all the energy of the child is gravitational potential energy due to its height with respect to the ground (E=mgh). when it moves down the slide, this is converted into kinetic energy, because the child acquires a speed v (E=1/2 mv^2)
<span>
Rubbing your hands together to warm them on a cold day --> </span>Kinetic energy being transformed into thermal energy <span>
When rubbing hands, we are moving them (kinetic energy), and this energy raises the temperature of the hand's surface (thermal energy)

Turning on a battery operated light --> </span>
Chemical potential energy transformed into radiant energy <span>
A battery works by mean of chemical reactions (chemical potential energy), producing light (so, emitting energy by radiation, i.e. radiant energy)

Using a dc electric motor --> </span> Electrical energy transformed into kinetic energy<span>
A dc electric motor works using  currents (so, electrical energy), and the energy produced can be used for example to accelerate a car (kinetic energy)

Using a gas power heater to warm a room --> </span>Chemical potential energy transformed into thermal energy 
<span>A gas power heater burns gases (so, chemical reaction, i.e. chemical potential energy) to raise the temperature of the room (thermal energy)

Using a hand crank generator to produce electric current --> Kinetic energy transformed into electrical energy
In a hand-crank generator, the handle is being rotated (kinetic energy) in order to produce an electric current (electrical energy)

Using the light in your room that is plugged into the wall --> </span>Electrical energy transformed into radiant energy  
<span>The lamp works by using electrical current flowing into a resistor (electrical energy) and it produces light, so it emits energy by electromagnetic radiation (radiant energy)

ad for the distance from the sun tothe earth is 1.5 x 10"m. how long does it take for light from ths sun to reach the eath? give
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

About 8.3 minutes

Explanation:

Use the formula for velocity as the distance covered by the light divided the time it takes: [tex]velocity=\frac{distance}{time}[/tex]

Use the information about the speed of light in vacuum: 300000000 \frac{m}{s} = 3*10^{8} \frac{m}{s}

and the information you are given regarding the distance between Sun and Earth: 1.5 * 10^{11} m

to solve the first velocity equation for the unknown time "t":

velocity=\frac{distance}{time} \\3*10^8\frac{m}{s} =\frac{1.5*10^11 m}{t} \\t=\frac{1.5*10^11 }{3*10^8} s= 500 s

we can convert second into minutes by dividing by 60: 500 s = 500/60 minutes = 8.3333... minutes

What is the difference between direct current and alternating current?
IRINA_888 [86]
