The Net force is 280 N (300-120). The acceleration = force / mass = 280 / 45 = 6.2 m/s^2

State one use and one disadvantage of the expansion of materials when they are heated.

Reil [10]

An example of the use of expansion of materials when they are heated is in

Thermometers. Thermometer is an instrument which is used to measure the

temperature of a place.

It contains mercury which expands as temperature increases. This is used

to accurately determine the temperature of an object.

The disadvantage of expansion of materials when they are heated can be

seen in roads as there is expansion of the surface as a result of heat

exposure leads to roads being rough thereby incurring more costs for

repairs.

An apple from the top branch of the tree and an apple from the bottom branch of a tree fall at the same time. Which apple will h

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

B. The apple from the bottom will hit the ground earlier. This is because an increase in height causes an increase in the time that the object will fall, and therefore will affect the final velocity of the falling object. Moreover, the reduction in velocity due to friction from the air should also be considered.

One of the harmonics on a string 1.30m long has a frequency of 15.60 Hz. The next higher harmonic has a frequency of 23.40 Hz. F

Alja [10]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{(a) 7.800 Hz; (b) 20.3 m/s; 40.6 m/s; 60.8 m/s}}$

Explanation:

a) Fundamental frequency

A harmonic is an integral multiple of the fundamental frequency.

$\dfrac{\text{23.40 Hz}}{\text{15.60 Hz}} = \dfrac{1.500}{1} \approx \dfrac{3}{2}$

$f = \dfrac{\text{24.30 Hz}}{3} = \textbf{7.800 Hz}$

b) Wave speed

(i) Calculate the wavelength

In a fundamental vibration, the length of the string is half the wavelength.

$\begin{array}{rcl}L & = & \dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\\\text{1.30 m} & = & \dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\\\lambda & = & \text{2.60 m}\\\end{array}$

(b) Calculate the speed s

$\begin{array}{rcl}v_{1}& = & f_{1}\lambda\\& = & \text{7.800 s}^{-1} \times \text{2.60 m}\\& = & \textbf{20.3 m/s}\\\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{rcl}v_{2}& = & f_{2}\lambda\\& = & \text{15.60 s}^{-1} \times \text{2.60 m}\\& = & \textbf{40.6 m/s}\\\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{rcl}v_{3}& = & f_{3}\lambda\\& = & \text{23.40 s}^{-1} \times \text{2.60 m}\\& = & \textbf{60.8 m/s}\\\end{array}$

The position-time graph for a bug crawling along a line is shown in item 4 below. Determine whether the velocity is positive, ne

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer: The velocity at different marked time points are given as

t1 = -

t2 = +

t3 = +

t4 = -

t5 = 0

Explanation:

The slope of the tangent of the curve indicates the instantaneous velocity. So if the slope of the tangent is positive, that Is, the tangent makes a positive angle (above the horizontal axis) with the horizontal

axis, then the velocity at this point is positive, and if the slope of the tangent is negative, that is the tangent makes a negative angle with the horizontal axis (below the horizontal axis), then the velocity at this point is negative.

When the tangent of the line is parallel to the horizontal axis, the velocity is 0.

From the position-time graph attached, the sign on the instantaneous velocity for each time marked on the graph is given below

t1 = -

t2 = +

t3 = +

t4 = -

t5 = 0
