After a long night of cramming for a test, your college room-mate hits his head forcefully against the wall of your room in desp

air. According to Newton’s 3rd Law, as he exerts a force against the wall, there must be an equal and opposite force. How does that opposite force show itself in this case?

Answer: the wall contracts the force exerted by his head. The wall produces the opposite force which is equal to the force his head bangs the wall with.

Explanation: if his head exerts a much greater force than the wall can counteract the wall will be destroyed, if the wall exerts a much greater force than his head exerts he will be pushed far back and might even suffer a broken head.

The wall in this case provides the opposite reactive force.

An apple weighs 1.00 N. When you hang it from the end of a long spring of force constant 1.50 N/m and negligible mass, it bounce
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

2.67 m

Explanation:

k = Spring constant = 1.5 N/m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

l = Unstretched length

Frequency of SHM motion is given by

f_s=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}

Frequency of pendulum is given by

f_p=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{g}{l}}

Given in the question

f_p=\dfrac{1}{2}f_s

\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{g}{l}}=\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}\\\Rightarrow \sqrt{\dfrac{g}{l}}=\dfrac{1}{2}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{g}{l}=\dfrac{1}{4}\dfrac{k}{m}\\\Rightarrow l=\dfrac{4gm}{k}\\\Rightarrow l=\dfrac{4\times 9.81\times \dfrac{1}{9.81}}{1.5}\\\Rightarrow l=2.67\ m

The unstretched length of the spring is 2.67 m

Monochromatic light passes through a double slit, producing interference, the distance between the slit centres is 1.2 mm and th
Alik [6]

Answer:

The wavelength of the light is 7200\ \AA.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance between the slit centers d= 1.2 mm

Distance between constructive fringes \beta= 0.3\ cm

Distance between fringe and screen D= 5 m

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of width

\beta=\dfrac{D\lambda}{d}

Put the value into the formula

0.3\times10^{-2}=\dfrac{5\times\lambda}{1.2\times10^{-3}}

\lambda=\dfrac{0.3\times10^{-2}\times1.2\times10^{-3}}{5}

\lambda=7.2\times10^{-7}\ m

\lambda=7200\ \AA

Hence, The wavelength of the light is 7200\ \AA.

Bess [88]

Answer:

The frequency of the oscillation is 0.9Hz

Explanation:

This problem bothers on simple harmonic motion of a spring

Given data

Mass of the child m= 25kg

Spring constant k=791 N/m

Amplitude a= 31cm

But the period of the motion as a result of the adults sholve is expressed as

T=2π√m/k

T=2*3.142√25/791

T=6.284√0.031

T=6.284*0.176

T=1.11 sec

But frequency F=1/T

F=1/1.11

F=0.9Hz

Answer:

n musical notation, stems are the, "thin, vertical lines that are directly connected to the [note] head." Stems may point up or down. ... There is an exception to this rule: if a chord contains a second, the stem runs between the two notes with the higher being placed on the right of the stem and the lower on the left.
