The springs of a 1700-kg car compress 5.0 mm when its 66-kg driver gets into the driver seat. If the car goes over a bump, what

will be the frequency of oscillations?

Answer:

The frequency of oscillations is 7 Hz

Explanation:

Given;

mass of car, = 1700 kg

mass of driver, = 66 kg

compression of the spring, x = 5mm = 0.005 m

The frequency of the oscillation is given as;

$F = \frac{1}{2 \pi } \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }$

where;

k is force constant

m is the total mass of the car and the driver

m = 1700 kg + 66 kg = 1766 kg

Weight of the car and the driver;

W = mg

W = 1766 x 9.8

W = 17306.8 N

Apply hook's law, to determine the force constant;

F = kx

W = F

Thus, k = W/x

k = 17306.8 / 0.005

k = 3461360 N/m

Now, calculate the frequency

$F = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } \\\\F = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{3461360}{1766} }\\\\F = 7 \ Hz$

Therefore, the frequency of oscillations is 7 Hz

Select all that apply. Which of the following astronomers supported the Earth-centered system?

Stella [2.4K]

Among the options, the two astronomers who supported the Earth-centered system were Tycho Brahe and Ptolemy.

Both astronomers developed in fact a system where the Sun was located at the center, while the Earth and the other planets were orbiting around the Sun.

The wavelength of red helium-neon laser light in air is 632.8 nm.(a) What is its frequency?(b) What is its wavelength in glass t

inn [45]

(a) $4.74 \cdot 10^{14}Hz$

The frequency of a wave is given by:

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$

where

v is the wave's speed

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

For the red laser light in this problem, we have

$v=c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s$ (speed of light)

$\lambda=632.8 nm=632.8\cdot 10^{-9} m$

Substituting,

$f=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{632.8 \cdot 10^{-9} m}=4.74 \cdot 10^{14}Hz$

(b) 427.6 nm

The wavelength of the wave in the glass is given by

$\lambda=\frac{\lambda_0}{n}$

where

$\lambda_0 = 632.8\cdot 10^{-9} m$ is the original wavelength of the wave in air

n = 1.48 is the refractive index of glass

Substituting into the formula,

$\lambda=\frac{632.8\cdot 10^{-9}m}{1.48}=427.6\cdot 10^{-9}m=427.6 nm$

(c) $2.02\cdot 10^8 m/s$

The speed of the wave in the glass is given by

$v=\frac{c}{n}$

where

$c = 3\cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the original speed of the wave in air

n = 1.48 is the refractive index of glass

Substituting into the formula,

$v=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.48}=2.02\cdot 10^8 m/s$

The electric company charges $0.08/kilowatt-hour. If a 2 kilowatt appliance is run for 3hours, how much will you have to pay to

asambeis [7]

Answer:

$ 0.48

Explanation:

We can calculate this quantity easily using successive products and taking into account the units.

$\frac{0.08}{kw*h}*2[kw]*3[hr]\\ \\=0.48$

The amount is $ 0.48

a 1.2 kg rocket is launched from ground level with initial velocity of 12 m/s. What is the maximum height the rocket can reach?

Tanzania [10]

As the rocket is launched from the ground its height will go on increasing till it stops

So the height of rocket will be maximum when its speed becomes zero

so here we can use energy conservation theory

$PE = KE$

$mgH = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$9.8*H = \frac{1}{2}*12^2$

$H = 7.35 m$

So it will reach upto height 7.35 m
