Answer:

a)32.34 N/m

b)10cm

c)1.6 Hz

Explanation:

Let 'k' represent spring constant

'm' mass of the object= 330g =>0.33kg

a) in order to find spring constant 'k', we apply Newton's second law to the equilibrium position 10cm below the release point.

ΣF=kx-mg=0

k=mg / x

k= (0.33 x 9.8)/ 0.1

k= 32.34 N/m

b) The amplitude, A, is the distance from the equilibrium (or center) point of motion to either its lowest or highest point (end points). The amplitude, therefore, is half of the total distance covered by the oscillating object.

Therefore, amplitude of the oscillation is 10cm

c)frequency of the oscillation can be determined by,

f= 1/2π \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

f= 1/2π \sqrt{\frac{32.34}{0.33} }

f= 1.57

f≈ 1.6 Hz

Therefore,  the frequency of the oscillation is 1.6 Hz

With 51 gallons of fuel in its tank, the airplane has a weight of 2390.7 pounds. What is the weight of the plane with 81 gallons
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer: 2561.7 pounds

Explanation:

If we assume the total weight of an airplane (in pounds units) as a <u>linear function</u> of the amount of fuel in its tank (in gallons) and we make a Weight vs amount of fuel graph, which resulting slope is 5.7, we can use the slope equation of the line:

m=\frac{Y-Y_{1}}{X-X_{1}}  (1)

Where:

m=5.7 is the slope of the line

Y_{1}=2390.7pounds is the airplane weight with  51 gallons of fuel in its tank (assuming we chose the Y axis for the airplane weight in the graph)

X_{1}=51gallons is the fuel in airplane's tank for a total weigth of 2390.7 pounds (assuming we chose the X axis for the a,ount of fuel in the tank in the graph)

This means we already have one point of the graph, which coordinate is:

(X_{1},Y_{1})=(51,2390.7)

Rewritting (1):

Y=m(X-X_{1})+Y_{1}  (2)

As Y is a function of X:

Y=f_{(X)}=m(X-X_{1})+Y_{1}  (3)

Substituting the known values:

f_{(X)}=5.7(X-51)+2390.7  (4)

f_{(X)}=5.7X-290.7+2390.7  (5)

f_{(X)}=5.7X+2100  (6)

Now, evaluating this function when X=81 (talking about the 81 gallons of fuel in the tank):

f_{(81)}=5.7(81)+2100  (7)

f_{(81)}=2561.7  (8)   This means the weight of the plane when it has 81 gallons of fuel in its tank is 2561.7 pounds.

Sodium has an atomic mass of 23 and an atomic number of 11, so the
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

12 Neutrons

Explanation:

So the mass of sodium is 22.990. You round it up to get 23(as stated in the problem). So, <em>what exactly is atomic mass?</em>

Atomic Mass is the total amount of neutrons and protons added up to form a total mass. So when you subtract 23-11 you get 12 Neutrons.

<u>Tip: </u>Don't know if you need this but-

The neutrons and protons are typically close in number (unless it's an isotope). So say that you subtract and the numbers of protons and neutrons aren't close at all. Well if that's the case, it's probably wrong.

hope this helps!!

Work out the current through a television with a power of 0.8 kW if it uses the 230 V mains supply. Give your answer to 1 decima
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

the current is 3.5 A

Explanation:

The computation of the current is shown below:

As we know that

Current [A] = Electrical power [W] ÷ Potential difference [V]

Now convert KW TO W = × 1000

So, the current is

= 800W ÷ 230V

= 3.5 A

Hence, the current is 3.5 A
