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

A woman steps in front of a child to keep him from running off. which term best describes this example? negative work positive w
lana [24]

Answer:

negative force

Explanation:

Here woman is applying the force to stop the child or to prevent him from running.

Here we know that the force applied by the woman is opposite to the motion of child but here the child is not displaced by this applied force but the child is only prevented his running.

So here the work done by the woman is zero as there is no displacement by this force.

But here we can say that the the force of woman is against the motion of child so here this force is opposite force and hence it is termed as negative force here.

so correct answer will be

negative force

A 2.1 kg block is dropped from rest from a height of 5.5 m above the top of the spring. When the block is momentarily at rest, t
ella [17]

Answer:

The speed of the block is 8.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of block, m = 2.1 kg

height above the top of the spring, h = 5.5 m

First, we determine the spring constant based on the principle of conservation of potential energy

¹/₂Kx² = mg(h +x)

¹/₂K(0.25)² = 2.1 x 9.8(5.5 +0.25)

0.03125K = 118.335

K = 118.335 / 0.03125

K = 3786.72 N/m

Total energy stored in the block at rest is only potential energy given as:

E = U = mgh

U = 2.1 x 9.8 x 5.5 = 113.19 J

Work done in compressing the spring to 15.0 cm:

W = ¹/₂Kx² = ¹/₂ (3786.72)(0.15)² = 42.6 J

This is equal to elastic potential energy stored in the spring,

Then, kinetic energy of the spring is given as:

K.E = E - W

K.E = 113.19 J - 42.6 J

K.E = 70.59 J

To determine the speed of the block due to this energy:

KE =  ¹/₂mv²

70.59 =  ¹/₂ x 2.1 x v²

70.59 = 1.05v²

v² = 70.59 / 1.05

v² = 67.229

v = √67.229

v = 8.2 m/s

Light of wavelength 400 nm is incident on a single slit of width 15 microns. If a screen is placed 2.5 m from the slit. How far
olganol [36]

Answer:

0.0667 m

Explanation:

λ = wavelength of light = 400 nm = 400 x 10⁻⁹ m

D = screen distance = 2.5 m

d = slit width = 15 x 10⁻⁶ m

n = order = 1

θ = angle = ?

Using the equation

d Sinθ = n λ

(15 x 10⁻⁶) Sinθ = (1) (400 x 10⁻⁹)

Sinθ = 26.67 x 10⁻³

y = position of first minimum

Using the equation for small angles

tanθ = Sinθ = y/D

26.67 x 10⁻³ = y/2.5

y = 0.0667 m
