Answer:

Explanation:

Even though the minimum temperature is more than the freezing point, Frost was observed on the ground because the ground will cool rapidly as cool air tends to move towards the ground, the temperature of the ground is lower than the atmosphere a few feet above it.

As the thermometer is kept some feet above the ground so ground temperature may be lower than the minimum recorded temperature.

Answer:

The distance the mass would stretch it is    x = 0.00992948

The correct option is A

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

           The period of the slit is T = 0.2s

           The acceleration due to gravity is g =9.8 m/s^2

Generally the period is mathematically represented as

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

          Whee m is the particle and k is the spring constant

        making \frac{m}{k} the subject

                        \frac{m}{k}  = [\frac{T}{2 \pi} ]^2

The weight on the particle is related to the force stretching the spring by this mathematical relation

               W = F_s

              mg = kx

where x is the length by which the spring is stretched

          \frac{m}{k}  = \frac{x}{g}

Substituting the equation above for \frac{m}{k}

            [\frac{T}{2 \pi} ]^2 = \frac{x}{g}

making x the subject

              x = g [\frac{T}{2 \pi} ]

Substituting the value

            x = 9.8 * [\frac{0.2}{2 * 3.142} ]^2

            x = 0.00992948

The duration (i.e time) of the impact, given that the head impact was 1770 N is 0.005 s

<h3>How do I determine the duration (i.e time)?</h3>

Impulse is defined as the change in momentum of an object. It is expressed as:

Impulse = change in momentum

Impulse = final momentum – Initial momentum

Impule = m(v - u)

Impulse = force × time

Impulse = Ft

Thus,

Ft = m(v - u)

Where

  • F is the force
  • t is the time
  • m is the mass
  • u is the initial velocity
  • v is the final velocity

Now, we can obtain the duration (i.e time) of the impact. Details below:

  • Force (F) = 1770 N
  • Initial velocity = 2.09 m/s
  • Mass (m) = 4.12 Kg
  • Final velocity = 0 m/s
  • Duration (t) =?

Ft = m(v + u) since the collision came to a stop

1770 × t = 4.12 × (0 + 2.09)

1770 × t = 4.12 × 2.09

Divide both sides by 1770

t = (4.12 × 2.09) / 1770

t = 0.005 s

Thus, the duration is 0.005 s

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

308,000 or 30.8×10^3

Explanation:

v=f×lamda

v is ?, f is 875Hz, lamda is 352m

v=875×352

v=308,000

v=30.8×10^3 m/s
