<span>The correct answer for this question is that the passing of the moon directly between the earth and the sun is a solar eclipse. Solar eclipses cause the earth to temporarily become slightly darker, and can be observed by looking through specialist glasses so as not to damage the eyes.</span>

Answer:

If we use the equation for the transformation of velocities for moving frames:

v' = (v - u) / (1 - u * v / c^2) where we measure the speed of v' approaching from the left where v is in a frame moving at -u towards v'

v' = (.6 c - (-.6 c)) / (1 - (-.6 c) * .6 c / c^2) = 1.2 c / (1 + .6 * .6)

or v' = 1.2 c / (1 + .36) = .88 c

v is approaching from the left at .6 c in the reference frame and the other frame approaches from the right at -.6 c with speed u (-.6 c) and we measure the speed of v as seen in the frame moving to the left

A gas is enclosed in a cylinder fitted with a light frictionless piston and maintained at atmospheric pressure. When 3300 kcal o

Tema [17]

Answer

given,

heat added to the gas,Q = 3300 kcal

initial volume, V₁ = 13.7 m³

final volume, V₂ = 19.7 m³

atmospheric pressure, P = 1.013 x 10⁵ Pa

a) Work done by the gas

W = P Δ V

W = 1.013 x 10⁵ x (19.7 - 13.7)

W = 6.029 x 10⁵ J

b) internal energy of the gas = ?

now,

change in internal energy

Δ U = Q - W

Q = 3300 x 10³ cal

Q = 3300 x 10³ x 4.186 J

Q = 1.38 x 10⁷ J

now,

Δ U = 1.38 x 10⁷ - 6.029 x 10⁵

Δ U = 1.32 x 10⁷ J

g A 1.5-kg mass attached to spring with a force constant of 20.0 N/m oscillates on a horizontal, frictionless track. At t = 0, t

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

(a) f = 0.58Hz

(b) vmax = 0.364m/s

(d) E = 0.1J

(e) x(t)=0.1m*cos(2π(0.58s^{-1})t)

Explanation:

(a) The frequency of the oscillation, in a spring-mass system, is calculated by using the following formula:

$f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$ (1)

k: spring constant = 20.0N/m

m: mass = 1.5kg

you replace the values of m and k for getting f:

$f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{20.0N/m}{1.5kg}}=0.58s^{-1}=0.58Hz$

The frequency of the oscillation is 0.58Hz

(b) The maximum speed is given by the following relation:

$v_{max}=\omega A=2\pi f A$ (2)

A: amplitude of the oscillations = 10.0cm = 0.10m

$v_{max}=2\pi (0.58s^{-1})(0.10m)=0.364\frac{m}{s}$

The maximum speed of the mass is 0.364 m/s.

The maximum speed occurs when the mass passes trough the equilibrium point of the oscillation.

(c) The maximum acceleration is given by the following formula:

$a_{max}=\omega^2A=(2\pi f)^2 A$

$a_{max}=(2\pi (0.58s^{-1}))(0.10m)=1.32\frac{m}{s^2}$

The maximum acceleration is 1.32 m/s^2

The maximum acceleration occurs where the elastic force is a maximum, that is, where the mass is at the maximum distance from the equilibrium point, that is, the acceleration.

(d) The total energy of the system is calculated with the maximum potential elastic energy:

$E=\frac{1}{2}kA^2=\frac{1}{2}(20.0N/m)(0.10m)^2=0.1J$

The total energy is 0.1J

(e) The displacement as a function of time is:

$x(t)=Acos(\omega t)=Acos(2\pi ft)\\\\x(t)=0.1m\ cos(2\pi(0.58s^{-1})t)$
