Answer:

240m/s

Explanation:

The equation to calculate is wavelength= velocity/ frequency so to find the velocity you would have to multiply frequency by wavelength.

In an electricity demonstration at the Deutsches Museum in Munich, Germany, a person sits inside a metal sphere of radius 0.90 m

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

E_interior = 0

Explanation:

As the sphere is metallic, the electrical charges are distributed on its surface, as far away as possible from each other.

If we apply Gauss's law, as the charge is on the surface, when drawing a spherical Gaussian surface, we see that there is no charge inside, therefore there is no electric field inside the metallic sphere.

E_interior = 0

X =(3.00x4.00 x3-1.00t x 2.00) x m

x= (12.00x3- 1.00 x2.00) x m
x= 36.00 -1.00 x 2.00) x m
x = (36.00 -2.00) x m
x =( 34.00) x m
x =34.00 times m

A block of unknown mass is attached to a spring with a spring constant of 7.00 N/m 2 and undergoes simple harmonic motion with a

KatRina [158]

Answers:

a) $0.80 kg$

b) $2.12 s$

c) $1.093 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

We have the following data:

$k=7 N/m$ is the spring constant

$A=12.5 cm \frac{1 m}{100 cm}=0.125 m$ is the amplitude of oscillation

$V=32 cm/s=0.32 m/s$ is the velocity of the block when $x=\frac{A}{2}=0.0625 m$

Now let's begin with the answers:

<h3>a) Mass of the block</h3>

We can solve this by the conservation of energy principle:

$U_{o}+K_{o}=U_{f}+K_{f}$ (1)

Where:

$U_{o}=k\frac{A^{2}}{2}$ is the initial potential energy

$K_{o}=0$ is the initial kinetic energy

$U_{f}=k\frac{x^{2}}{2}$ is the final potential energy

$K_{f}=\frac{1}{2} m V^{2}$ is the final kinetic energy

Then:

$k\frac{A^{2}}{2}=k\frac{x^{2}}{2}+\frac{1}{2} m V^{2}$ (2)

Isolating $m$ :

$m=\frac{k(A^{2}-x^{2})}{V^{2}}$ (3)

$m=\frac{7 N/m((0.125 m)^{2}-(0.0625 m)^{2})}{(0.32 m/s)^{2}}$ (4)

$m=0.80 kg$ (5)

<h3>b) Period</h3>

The period $T$ is given by:

$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$ (6)

Substituting (5) in (6):

$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{0.80 kg}{7 N/m}}$ (7)

$T=2.12 s$ (8)

<h3>c) Maximum acceleration</h3>

The maximum acceleration $a_{max}$ is when the force is maximum $F_{max}$ , as well :

$F_{max}=m.a_{max}=k.x_{max}$ (9)

Being $x_{max}=A$

Hence:

$m.a_{max}=kA$ (10)

Finding $a_{max}$ :

$a_{max}=\frac{kA}{m}$ (11)

$a_{max}=\frac{(7 N/m)(0.125 m)}{0.80 kg}$ (12)

Finally:

$a_{max}=1.093 m/s^{2}$
