Answer:

The spring constant = 9.25 N/m

Explanation:

The equation of an object attached to a spring that is oscillating is

T = 2π√(m/k)

Where T = period of the oscillation, m = mass of the object, k = spring constant.

Making k the subject of the equation,

k = 4π²m/T²......................... Equation 1

Note: Period(T) is the time taken to complete one oscillation

Given: T = t/10 = 9.0/10 = 0.9 s, m = 190 g = 0.19 kg.

Constant:  π = 3.14

Substitute these values into equation 1.

k = 4(3.14)²(0.19)/0.9²

k = 7.4933/0.81

k = 9.25 N/m

Thus the spring constant = 9.25 N/m

To solve the exercise it is necessary to take into account the concepts of wavelength as a function of speed.

From the definition we know that the wavelength is described under the equation,

\lambda = \frac{c}{f}

Where,

c = Speed of light (vacuum)

f = frequency

Our values are,

f = 2Hz

c = 3*10^8km/s

Replacing we have,

\lambda = \frac{c}{f}

\lambda = \frac{3*10^8km/s}{2Hz}

\lambda = 1.5*10^8m

<em>Therefore the wavelength of this wave is 1.5*10^{8}m</em>

The Special Olympics raises money through "plane pull" events in which teams of 25 people compete to see who can pull a 74,000 k
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

28716.4740661 N

1.2131147541 m/s

51.2474965841%

Explanation:

m = Mass of plane = 74000 kg

s = Displacement = 3.7 m

f = Frictional force = 14000 N

t = Time taken = 6.1 s

u = Initial velocity = 0

v = Final velocity

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 3.7=0\times 6.1+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 6.1^2\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{3.7\times 2}{6.1^2}\\\Rightarrow a=0.198871271164\ m/s^2

Force is given by

F=ma+f\\\Rightarrow F=74000\times 0.198871271164+14000\\\Rightarrow F=28716.4740661\ N

The force with which the team pulls the plane is 28716.4740661 N

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+0.198871271164\times 6.1\\\Rightarrow v=1.2131147541\ m/s

The speed of the plane is 1.2131147541 m/s

Kinetic energy is given by

K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 74000\times 1.2131147541^2\\\Rightarrow K=54450.9540448\ J

Work done is given by

W=Fs\\\Rightarrow W=28716.4740661\times 3.7\\\Rightarrow W=106250.954045\ J

The fraction is given by

\dfrac{54450.9540448}{106250.954045}=0.512474965841

The teams 51.2474965841% of the work goes to kinetic energy of the plane.

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

He made great advancements in developing a logical way to know more about the universe and celestial entities inside the space. And this theory is termed to be heliocentric in nature.

Explanation:

  • In early times most of the people believed that our planet Earth is the center of the universe or the solar system and rest of the celestial entities move around it in a given path, so, it confused the well known scientist named as Galileo Galilei. As, he observed the different dark patches or shadow like textures on the face of the Sun.
  • While, it is more obvious to known that any object having multiple small shadows means that it is present inside such a region that all of the celestial entities move or orbit around it in a given way.So, he concluded that planet Earth itself move around the red Giant in a given way rather then being the center of the universe.

iVinArrow [24]

The speed of the sound in the xenon is 178 m/s. And the right option is b 178 m/s

<h3 /><h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed can be defined as the ratio of the total distance traveled by a body to the total time taken.

To calculate the speed of the sound in the xenon, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • v = λf............. Equation 1

Where:

  • v = Speed of the sound in xenon
  • f = Frequency
  • λ = Wavelength.

From the question,

Given:

  • f = 440 Hz
  • λ = 40.4 cm = 0.404 m

Substitute the values above into equation 1

  • v = 440(0.404)
  • v = 177.76 m/s.
  • v ≈ 178 m/s

Hence, The speed of the sound in the xenon is 178 m/s. And the right option is b 178 m/s
