Answer:

<em>A = 6.9 cm</em>

Explanation:

<u>Simple Harmonic Motion</u>

A mass-spring system is a common example of a simple harmonic motion device since it keeps oscillating when the spring is stretched back and forth.

If a mass m is attached to a spring of constant k and they are set to oscillate, the angular frequency of the motion is

\displaystyle w=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

The equation for the motion of the object is written as a sinusoid:

\displaystyle X=A\ cos\ w\ t

Where A is the amplitude.

The instantaneous speed is computed as the derivative of the distance

\displaystyle X'=V=-A\ w\ sin\ w\ t

And the maximum speed is

\displaystyle V_{max}= A\ w

Solving for the amplitude

\displaystyle A= \frac{V_{max}}{w}

Computing w

\displaystyle w =\sqrt{\frac{120}{0.2}}=24.5\   rad/ s

Calculating A

\displaystyle A=\frac{1.7}{24.5}=0.069\ m

\displaystyle \boxed{A=6.9\ cm}

A 38.2 kg wagon is towed up a hill inclined at 17.5 ◦ with respect to the horizontal. The tow rope is parallel to the incline an
Tema [17]

Answer:

v = 8.57 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that the wagon is pulled up by string system

So the net force on the wagon along the inclined is due to tension in the rope and component of weight along the inclined plane

So as per work energy theorem we know that

work done by tension force + work done by force of gravity = change in kinetic energy

F_t . d - (mgsin\theta)(d) = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 - 0

so we have

F_t = 129 N

\theta = 17.5^o

m = 38.2 kg

d = 85.4 m

so now we have

129(85.4) - (38.2)9.8sin17.5 (85.4) = \frac{1}{2}(38.2) v^2

v = 8.57 m/s

Why is an iceberg more dense than a ship?
Serhud [2]

Answer:

icebergs float on water because ice is less dense than water. The same is true for a boat: a boat floats on water because, overall, it is less dense than the water.

6. What is the change in temperature of a metal rod that is 55.0 cm long, decreases length by 0.20 cm, and that has a coefficien
MrMuchimi

Explanation:

We have,

Length of a metal rod is 55 cm or 0.55 m

Change in length is 0.2 cm or 0.002 m

It is required to find the change in temperature of a metal rod. The coefficient of linear expansion is given by :

\alpha =\dfrac{\Delta L}{L_0\Delta T}

\Delta T is the change in temperature

\Delta T =\dfrac{\Delta L}{L_0\alpha }\\\\\Delta T =\dfrac{0.002}{0.55\times 12\times 10^{-6}}\\\\\Delta T= 303.03^{\circ} C

So, the change in temperature is 303.03 degrees Celsius.

If you were trying to cross a river with the shortest possible time, would you aim your boat slightly upstream, directly across
Katyanochek1 [597]
I would say downstream since the stream can push your boat, then you would have momentum and would just have to row towards the land.
