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

aniked [119]

1) At the moment of being at the top, the piston will not only tend to push the penny up but will also descend at a faster rate at which the penny can reach in 'free fall', in that short distance. Therefore, at the highest point, the penny will lose contact with the piston. Therefore the correct answer is C.

2) To solve this problem we will apply the equations related to the simple harmonic movement, hence we have that the acceleration can be defined as

$a = -\omega^2 A$

Where,

a = Acceleration

A = Amplitude

$\omega$ = Angular velocity

From a reference system in which the downward acceleration is negative due to the force of gravity we will have to

$a = -g$

$-\omega^2 A = -g$

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{g}{A}}$

From the definition of frequency and angular velocity we have to

$\omega = 2\pi f$

$f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{g}{A}}$

$f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{9.8}{4*10^{-2}}}$

$f = 2.5Hz$

Therefore the maximum frequency for which the penny just barely remains in place for the full cycle is 2.5Hz

Which answer explains why plate B is moving underneath plate A

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Earth is composed of different layers and one layer moves over another due to differences in the densities.

According to the physics of density, a substance having less density floats over a higher density substance. The oceanic crust has more density than the continental crust that is why continental crust float over oceanic crust.

So in the given example, plate B is moving below the plate A, it means plate B is more dense than plate A because plate B is composed of oceanic crust . <u>For example : continents float over the asthenosphere (a layer below the lithosphere).</u>

Hence, the correct answer is "A ".

A fluid has a density of 921 kg/m^3. at a depth of 1.22 m, the fluid pressure is 122,000 Pa. what is the pressure at the top of

Igoryamba

Answer:

111,000 Pa

Explanation:

P = Patm + ρgh

122,000 Pa = Patm + (921 kg/m³) (9.8 m/s²) (1.22 m)

Patm = 111,000 Pa
