Average acceleration is difference in velocity divided by time.
(35 - 15)/2 = 10 m/s² downward

An object exhibits SHM with an angular frequency w = 4.0 s-1 and is released from its maximum displacement of A = 0.50 m at t =

vivado [14]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Angular frequency, $\omega=4\ s^{-1}$

Maximum displacement, A = 0.5 m at t = 0 s

We need to find the time at which it reaches its maximum speed. Firstly, we will find the maximum velocity of the object that is exhibiting SHM.

$v_{max}=A\times \omega$

$v_{max}=0.5\times 4$

$v_{max}=2\ m/s$ ............(1)

Acceleration of the object, $a=\omega^2A$

$a=4^2\times 0.5$

$a=8\ m/s^2$ ...............(2)

Using first equation of motion we can calculate the time taken to reach maximum speed.

$v=u+at$

$t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}$

$t=\dfrac{2-0}{8}$

t = 0.25 s

So, the object will take 0.25 seconds to reach its maximum speed. Hence, this is the required solution.

Explain the roles of piston valve of a water pump.

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The upstroke of the piston draws water, through a valve, into the lower part of the cylinder. On the downstroke, water passes through valves set in the piston into the upper part of the cylinder. On the next upstroke, water is discharged from the upper part of the cylinder via a spout.
