Answer:

1. It undergoes reflection. 2. It undergoes refraction. 3. It undergoes diffraction.

Explanation:

1. It undergoes reflection. This is because it bounces off surfaces when incident on them.

2. It undergoes refraction. This is because it changes direction when it passes from one medium to another

3. It undergoes diffraction. This is because it spreads out when it passes through doors and windows similar in dimension to the dimensions of its wavelength

__________ is when a person becomes less sensitive to a drug. A. Tolerance B. Craving C. Addiction D. Dependence

Luden [163]

A) Tolerance

Tolerance is developed after using a drug repeatedly, so the body adapts to it. Because of that, people who develop a tolerance would then need to use more of that drug to get the same effect.

How does competition affect population size? Use the terms carrying capacity and limiting factor with your example.

svetoff [14.1K]

Limiting factors are resources or other factors in the environment that can lower the population growth rate. Competition for resources like food and space cause the growth rate to stop increasing, so the population levels off. This flat upper line on a growth curve is the carrying capacity.

A 0.520-kg object attached to a spring with a force constant of 8.00 N/m vibrates in simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass attached to spring

M = 0.52kg

Force constant K = 8N/m

Amplitude A = 11.6 cm

a. Maximum speed?

Angular velocity is calculated using

w = √k/m

w = √8/0.52

w = √15.385

w = 3.922rad/s

Then, the relation ship between angular velocity and linear velocity is given as

v = - w•A

v = - 3.922 × 11.6

v = - 45.5 cm/s

Then, the maximum velocity is

vmax = |v|= 45.5cm/s

b. Acceleration a?

Acceleration can be determine using the formula

a = -w²• A

a = -3.922² × 11.6

a = -178.46 cm/s²

Magnitude of the acceleration is 178.46cm/s²

c. Speed when the object is at 9.6cm from equilibrium position?

Generally,

The position of the object at equilibrium is

x(t) = A•Cos(wt)

x(t) = 11.6 Cos (3.922t)

Then, when x(t) = 9.6cm

9.6 = 11.6 Cos(3.92t)

Cos(3.922t) = 9.6/11.6

Cos(3.922t) = 0.8276

3.922t = ArcCos(0.8276)

Note: the angle is in radiant

3.922t = 0.596

t = 0.596/3.922

t = 0.152 second

Then, v(t) at that time is

v(t) = x'(t) = -11.6×3.92Sin(3.922t)

v(t) = -45.5Sin(3.922t)

Now, when t =0.152

v(t) = -45.5 Sin(3.922×0.152)

v(t) = -45.5Sin(0.596)

v(t) = -25.5 cm/s

Then, it's magnitude is 25.5cm/s

d. Acceleration at same position

t = 0.152s

a(t) = v'(t) = - 45.5×3.922Cos(3.922t)

a(t) = -178.46Cos(3.92t)

a(t) = -178.46 Cos(3.92×0.152)

a(t) = -178.46 Cos(0.596)

a(t) = -147.68 cm/s²

Magnitude of the acceleration is 147.68 cm/s²

An 8.75 kg point mass and a 14.0 kg point mass are held in place 50.0 cm apart. A particle of mass m is released from a point be

marysya [2.9K]

Answer

given,

mass of the = m₁ = 8.75 Kg

another mass of the object = m₂ = 14 Kg

distance between them = 50 cm

R₁ = 17 cm

R₂ = 50 -17 = 33 cm

a) Force applied due to the Mass 8.75 in +ve x- direction

$F_1 = \dfrac{GM_1 m}{R_1^2}$

$F_1 = \dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11} \times 8.75\ m}{0.17^2}$

$F_1 = 2.019\times 10^{8}\ m$

Force applied due to mass 14 Kg in -ve x-direction

$F_2 = \dfrac{GM_2 m}{R_2^2}$

$F_2 = \dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11} \times 14\ m}{0.33^2}$

$F_2 = 0.857\times 10^{8}\ m$

net force

F = F₁ + F₂

$F = 2.019\times 10^{8}\ m - 0.857\times 10^{8}\ m$

$F = 1.162\times 10^{8}\ m$

Using newton second law

$a = \dfrac{F}{m}$

$a = \dfrac{ 1.162\times 10^{8}\ m}{m}$

$a =1.162\times 10^{8} \ m/s^2$

b) As the acceleration of mass comes out to be +ve hence, the direction will be toward the mass of 8.75 Kg
