Envision holding the end of a ruler with one hand and deforming it with the other. When you let go, you can see the oscillations
lapo4ka [179]

Answer: To increase the rigidity of the system you could hold the ruler at its midpoint so that the part of the ruler that oscillates is half as long as in the original experiment.

Explanation:

When a rule is displaced from its vertical position, it oscillates back and forth because of the restoring force opposing the displacement. That is, when the rule is on the left there is a force to the right.

By holding a ruler with one hand and deforming it with the other a force is generated in the opposite direction which is known as the restoring force. The restoring force causes the ruler to move back toward its stable equilibrium position, where the net force on it is zero. The momentum gained causes the ruler to move to the right leading to opposite deformation. This moves the ruler again to the left. The whole process is repeated until dissipative forces reduce the motion causing the ruler to come to rest.

The relationship between restoring force and displacement was described by Hooke's law. This states that displacement or deformation is directly proportional to the deforming force applied.

F= -kx, where,

F= restoring force

x= displacement or deformation

k= constant related to the rigidity of the system.

Therefore, the larger the force constant, the greater the restoring force, and the stiffer the system.

If a flea can jump straight up to a height of 0.410 m , what is its initial speed as it leaves the ground?
aivan3 [116]

Initial velocity = \(v_0\)

acceleration in the downward direction = -9.8 \(\frac {m}{s^2}\)

Final velocity at the highest point = 0

Maximum height reached = 0.410 m

Now, Using third equation of motion:

\(v^2 = {v_0}^{2} + 2aH

\(0^2 = {v_0}^{2} - 2 \times 9.8 \times 0.410

\({v_0}^{2} = 2 \times 9.8 \times 0.410\)

\(v_0 = 2.834 \frac {m}{s}\)

Speed with which the flea jumps = \(2.834 \frac {m}{s}\)

Why does the earth orbit the sun for 1 month
VikaD [51]
The Earth orbits the sun constantly, continuously, and all the time.  " 24/7/365 "

From the sun's point of view, it takes the Earth roughly 365 and 1/4 days
to make the complete trip, all the way around one time.  That's the length
of time that we call "one year".

When you talk about orbiting in one month, you're thinking of the moon
orbiting the Earth. THAT length of time is about 27.32 days.
