Answer:
109.32 N/m
Explanation:
Given that
Mass of the hung object, m = 8 kg
Period of oscillation of object, T = 1.7 s
Force constant, k = ?
Recall that the period of oscillation of a Simple Harmonic Motion is given as
T = 2π √(m/k), where
T = period of oscillation
m = mass of object and
k = force constant if the spring
Since we are looking for the force constant, if we make "k" the subject of the formula, we have
k = 4π²m / T², now we go ahead to substitute our given values from the question
k = (4 * π² * 8) / 1.7²
k = 315.91 / 2.89
k = 109.32 N/m
Therefore, the force constant of the spring is 109.32 N/m
Answer:
B) waves speed up
C) waves bend away from the normal
Explanation:
The index of refraction of a material is the ratio between the speed of light in a vacuum and the speed of light in that medium:
where
c is the speed of light in a vacuum
v is the speed of light in the medium
We can re-arrange this equation as:
So from this we already see that if the index of refraction is lower, the speed of light in the medium will be higher, so one correct option is
B) waves speed up
Moreover, when light enters a medium bends according to Snell's Law:
where
are the index of refraction of the 1st and 2nd medium
are the angles made by the incident ray and refracted ray with the normal to the interface
We can rewrite the equation as
So we see that if the index of refraction of the second medium is lower (
), then the ratio 
is larger than 1, so the angle of refraction is larger than the angle of incidence:
This means that the wave will bend away from the normal. So the other correct option is
C) waves bend away from the normal
