A bungee jumper, whose mass is 85 kg, jumps from a tall building. After reaching his lowest point, he continues to oscillate up

and down, reaching the low point two more times in 6.8 s. Ignoring air resistance and assuming that the bungee cord is an ideal spring, determine its spring constant.

Answer:

K= 290.28 N/m

Explanation:

Given: mass= 85 kg

the time taken to reach point two more times in 6.8 s.

2×t= 6.8 sec

t= 6.8/2= 3.4 sec

then, the time period for oscillation is

t= 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

Here K= spring constant

m= mass of jumper

⇒K= \frac{4\pi^2m}{t^2}

now plugging the values we get

K= \frac{4\pi^2\times85}{3.4^2}

K= 290.28 N/m

A free negative charge released in an electric field will
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Will experience a force due to electric field.

Explanation:

  • When a free negative charge is released in an electric field it experiences a force due to the electric field in a direction opposite to the direction of the magnetic field.

According to Coulomb's law this force is mathematically given as:

F=E.q

and, electric field due to a charge is given as:

E=\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0}.\frac{q}{r^2}

where:

permittivity of free space\epsilon_0=8.85\times 10^{-12}\ m^{-3}.kg^{-1}.s^4.A^2

q = magnitude of charge

r = radial distance from the charge

What is the element with the lowest electronegativity value?
Lerok [7]
<h2>Answer: Francium </h2>

Let's start by explaining that electronegativity is a term coined by Linus Pauling and is determined by the <em>ability of an atom of a certain element to attract electrons when chemically combined with another atom. </em>

So, the more electronegative an element is, the more electrons it will attract.

It should be noted that this value can not be measured directly by experiments, but it can be determined indirectly by means of calculations from other atomic or molecular properties of the element. That is why the scale created by Pauling is an arbitrary scale, where the maximum value of electronegativity is 4, assigned to Fluorine (F) and the <u>lowest is 0.7, assigned to Francium (Fr).</u>

The charged particles in the beams that Thomson studied came from atoms. As these particles moved away from their original atoms
aalyn [17]

The question to the above information is;

What is the best use of an atomic model to explain the charge of the particles in Thomson's beams?

Answer;

An atom's smaller negative particles are at a distance from the central positive particles, so the negative particles are easier to remove.

Explanation;

-Atoms are comprised of a nucleus consisting of protons (red) and neutrons (blue). The number of orbiting electrons is the same as the number of protons and is termed the "atomic number" of the element.

J.J. Thomson discovered the electron. Atoms are neutral overall, therefore in Thomson’s ‘plum pudding model’:

  • atoms are spheres of positive charge
  • electrons are dotted around inside
