How much time will elapse between seeing and hearing an event?
julia-pushkina [17]

Depends on how far away the event is and what the temperature is as this affects the speed of sound.

For example, let's say you're 600 meters away and the temperature has no affect.

The speed of sound would be roughly 340 m/s so the time it would take to hear the sound would be 600/340 = 1.76 seconds

The speed of light (c) is 3.0 X 10^8 m/s so the time it would take to see the event would be 600/3 X 10^8 = 2 X 10^-7

Subtract: 1.76 - (2 X 10^-7) = approx. 1.76

A 0.520-kg object attached to a spring with a force constant of 8.00 N/m vibrates in simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass attached to spring

M = 0.52kg

Force constant K = 8N/m

Amplitude A = 11.6 cm

a. Maximum speed?

Angular velocity is calculated using

w = √k/m

w = √8/0.52

w = √15.385

w = 3.922rad/s

Then, the relation ship between angular velocity and linear velocity is given as

v = - w•A

v = - 3.922 × 11.6

v = - 45.5 cm/s

Then, the maximum velocity is

vmax = |v|= 45.5cm/s

b. Acceleration a?

Acceleration can be determine using the formula

a = -w²• A

a = -3.922² × 11.6

a = -178.46 cm/s²

Magnitude of the acceleration is 178.46cm/s²

c. Speed when the object is at 9.6cm from equilibrium position?

Generally,

The position of the object at equilibrium is

x(t) = A•Cos(wt)

x(t) = 11.6 Cos (3.922t)

Then, when x(t) = 9.6cm

9.6 = 11.6 Cos(3.92t)

Cos(3.922t) = 9.6/11.6

Cos(3.922t) = 0.8276

3.922t = ArcCos(0.8276)

Note: the angle is in radiant

3.922t = 0.596

t = 0.596/3.922

t = 0.152 second

Then, v(t) at that time is

v(t) = x'(t) = -11.6×3.92Sin(3.922t)

v(t) = -45.5Sin(3.922t)

Now, when t =0.152

v(t) = -45.5 Sin(3.922×0.152)

v(t) = -45.5Sin(0.596)

v(t) = -25.5 cm/s

Then, it's magnitude is 25.5cm/s

d. Acceleration at same position

t = 0.152s

a(t) = v'(t) = - 45.5×3.922Cos(3.922t)

a(t) = -178.46Cos(3.92t)

a(t) = -178.46 Cos(3.92×0.152)

a(t) = -178.46 Cos(0.596)

a(t) = -147.68 cm/s²

Magnitude of the acceleration is 147.68 cm/s²

Imagine that the apparent weight of the crown in water is Wapparent=4.50N, and the actual weight is Wactual=5.00N. Is the crown
9966 [12]

Answer:

Explanation:

Actual weight, Wo = 5 N

Apparent weight, W = 4.5 N

density of water = 1 g/cm^3 = 1000 kg/m^3

density of gold, = 19.32 g/cm^3 = 19.32 x 1000 kg/m^3

Buoyant force = Actual weight - Apparent weight

Volume x density of water x g = 5 - 4.5

V x 1000 x 9.8 = 0.5

V = 5.1 x 10^-6 m^3

Weight of gold = Volume of gold x density of gold x gravity

W' = 5.1 x 10^-6 x 19.32 x 1000 x 9.8 = 0.966 N

As W' is less than W so, it is not pure gold.

initially, a bowl holds 15 m^3 of water. an object is dropped into the bowl and the new volume of the water is 25 m^3. what is t
marusya05 [52]

Explanation:

The new volume of water = 25 ml

The old volume of water = 15 ml

The difference = 25 - 15 but what are the units?

Since the question asks for force, the units must start out as 10 mL

In water 1 mL has a mass of 1 gram, so the answer is 10 grams.

Grams are units of mass, not weight. You should convert this into newtons.

10 grams = 1/1000 = 0.01 kg

1 kg has a weight of 9.81 Newtons

0.01 kg has a weight 0.081 Newtons

If you have never seen a Newton before, then the answer is 10 grams

Middle school physics ​
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

8 V

Explanation:

There is no resistance between the left legs of voltmeters 2 and 3 and there is no resistance between the right legs of voltmeters 2 and 3. They are measuring the same voltage.
