I think its true because they are a soft solid that can be broken down into a liquid... Hope this helps in any way :3
Explanation:
Show that the motion of a mass attached to the end of a spring is SHM
Consider a mass "m" attached to the end of an elastic spring. The other end of the spring is fixed
at the a firm support as shown in figure "a". The whole system is placed on a smooth horizontal surface.
If we displace the mass 'm' from its mean position 'O' to point "a" by applying an external force, it is displaced by '+x' to its right, there will be elastic restring force on the mass equal to F in the left side which is applied by the spring.
According to "Hook's Law
F = - Kx ---- (1)
Negative sign indicates that the elastic restoring force is opposite to the displacement.
Where K= Spring Constant
If we release mass 'm' at point 'a', it moves forward to ' O'. At point ' O' it will not stop but moves forward towards point "b" due to inertia and covers the same displacement -x. At point 'b' once again elastic restoring force 'F' acts upon it but now in the right side. In this way it continues its motion
from a to b and then b to a.
According to Newton's 2nd law of motion, force 'F' produces acceleration 'a' in the body which is given by
F = ma ---- (2)
Comparing equation (1) & (2)
ma = -kx
Here k/m is constant term, therefore ,
a = - (Constant)x
or
a a -x
This relation indicates that the acceleration of body attached to the end elastic spring is directly proportional to its displacement. Therefore its motion is Simple Harmonic Motion.
For this case we have that by definition, a micrometer is equivalent to a thousandth of a millimeter, that is, 0.001 millimeters.
Then, in other words, we have 0.001 millimeters in a micrometer.
Answer:
In a micrometer there are 0.001 millimeters.
The far right.
Fg is gravity which always acts down and since we assume the floor is flat the normal, Fn, acts opposite gravity, so straight up.
But you’re probably wondering about the pushing force, Fp, and the friction force, Ff. For the Fp, consider where the applied force is coming from. The head of the broom is on the floor and the man’s arms, where he’s applying the force from, is above and to the left, so when the man pushes the broom the force is down and to the right. The broom my not be moving down, but the applied force is still in that direction. And Ff always acts against motion so since the broom moves to the right, the friction is to the left.
