A 465 g block slides along a frictionless surface at a speed of 0.35 m/s. It runs into a horizontal massless spring with spring
katovenus [111]

Answer:

a) The duration, during which the block remain in contact with the spring is 0.29 s

b) The period of the simple harmonic oscillatory motion depends only on the mass and spring constant, therefore when the speed is doubled, the duration of contact remains the same as 0.29 s.

Explanation:

Mass of the block = 465 g

Surface speed = 0.35 m/s

Spring constant , k = 54 N/m

T = 2\times \pi \times \sqrt{\frac{m}{K} } = 2\times \pi \times \sqrt{\frac{0.465}{54} }  = 0.58 s

a) Since the period for the oscillatory motion is 0.58 s, then the time when the block and spring remain in contact is T/2 = 0.29 s

b) When the speed is doubled, we have

T = 2\times \pi \times \sqrt{\frac{m}{K} }

Therefore, since T is only dependent on the mass, m and the  spring constant, K, then the time it takes when the speed is doubled remain as

T /2 = 0.29 s

A researcher measures the thickness of a layer of benzene (n = 1.50) floating on water by shining monochromatic light onto the f
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

This problem relates to interference of light in thin films .

The condition of bright fringe in thin films which is sandwitched by two layers of medium having lesser refractive index  is as follows.

2nt = (2n+1) λ / 2  , n is refractive index of thin layer , t is its thickness ,  λ is wavelength of light .

2 x 1.5 t = λ / 2 , if n = 0 for minimum thickness.

2 x 1.5 t = 600 / 2 nm

t = 100 nm .

What is the coldest place on earth
exis [7]

The continent of Antartica is located at the bottom of the world. the South Pole is at its center. Antarctica is the coldest and windiest place on earth. It is covered with ice up to 3 miles thick. Very few plants and animals can survive here, but penguins, fish, and seals live on the coast and in the seas. No people live on Antarctica permanently, but scientists and tourists visit.
