A penny rides on top of a piston as it undergoes vertical simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 4.0cm. If the frequency is
nadezda [96]

Answer:

in the downward movement of the movement when the constant is lost

Explanation:

When the coin is on the piston it has a relationship given by

       a = d²x / dt²

the piston position is

      x = A cos wt

      a = - A w² cos wt

the maximum acceleration is

     a = - A w²

When the piston raises the acceleration of gravity and that of the piston go in the same direction, when the piston descends they relate it is contrary to gravity, therefore when the frequency increases, the point where the acceleration of the piston is greater than gravity arrives and the coin loses contact.

The point where you lose contact is

      a = g

      g = A w²

In short, in the downward movement of the movement when the constant is lost

Electronegativity is<br>____ at the top of the periodic table.​
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Electronegativity is a chemical property at the top of the periodic table

Explanation:

electronegativity is a chemical property that measures the ability of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons when it is part of a compound

it's a property of atom that increases as you go to the right and up.

One example is the Pauling scale. it is a numerical scale of electronegativities. It was first developed by Linus Pauling.

it is commonly used to calculate the ability of electronegativity to attract electrons to itself.

The most common electronegative element is Flourine, having an assigned value of 4.0, ranging down to caesium and francium, having the least electronegative at 0.7

What causes convection currents, and what do they do?
frez [133]

Answer:

Convection currents are the result of different heating. Lighter material (warm) rises while heavier (cold) material sinks. This movement of the materials is what causes convection currents! (BTW, it happens in water, in the atmosphere, and in the mantle of Earth!

Explanation:

I hope this helps a little! :)

The shaft is 78m approximately deep. The correct option is D which is 78 meters

<h3>What are Sound Waves ?</h3>

Sound waves are longitudinal. That is, the direction of the waves is parallel to the direction of its propagation of particles.

Given that a boy finds an abandoned mine shaft in the woods, and wants to know how deep the hole is. He drops in a stone, and counts 4 seconds before he hears the "plunk" of the stone hitting the bottom of the shaft.

  • The speed of the sound V = 330m/s
  • The time it takes the sound to reach the top = t

Speed V = distance / time

330 = h/t

Make t the subject of formula

t = h/330

As the stone is dropped, initial velocity = 0, Using the formula

h = 1/2gT²

But T = 4 - t

T = 4 approximately

Substitute all the parameters

h = 1/2 × 9.8 × (4)²

h = 4.9 × (16)

h = 78.4m

Therefore, the shaft is 78m approximately deep. The correct option is D which is 78 meters
