Answer and Explanation:

In case, I lived in the Crater Copernicus on Moon's side facing the Earth then:

On moon, as it orbits the Earth, it takes 29 and a half days to complete one cycle of sunrise and sunset. So, the would rise once in 29 and a half day.
The moon orbits the Earth in such a way that the its same side faces the Earth always which concludes that the Earth is overhead every time resulting in no Earth rise or Earth set on Moon.
Due to the thin atmosphere, it can't impart any specific color to the sky on the moon as a result of which the moon's sky is always black and hence, stars can be seen every time.

A particle with mass 1.09 kg oscillates horizontally at the end of a horizontal spring. A student measures an amplitude of 0.985

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

a) $f = 0.598\,hz$ , b) $v_{max} = 3.701\,\frac{m}{s}$ , c) $k = 15.385\,\frac{N}{m}$ , d) $U = 1.081\,J$ , e) $K = 6.382\,J$ , f) $v\approx 3.422\,\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

a) The frequency of oscillation is:

$f = \frac{76}{127\,hz}$

$f = 0.598\,hz$

b) The angular frequency is:

$\omega = 2\pi \cdot f$

$\omega = 2\pi \cdot (0.598\,hz)$

$\omega = 3.757\,\frac{rad}{s}$

Lastly, the speed at the equilibrium position is:

$v_{max} = \omega \cdot A$

$v_{max} = (3.757\,\frac{rad}{s} )\cdot (0.985\,m)$

$v_{max} = 3.701\,\frac{m}{s}$

c) The spring constant is:

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

$k = \omega^{2}\cdot m$

$k = (3.757\,\frac{rad}{s} )^{2}\cdot (1.09\,kg)$

$k = 15.385\,\frac{N}{m}$

d) The potential energy when the particle is located 38.1 % of the amplitude away from the equilibrium position is:

$U = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (15.385\,\frac{N}{m} )\cdot (0.375\,m)^{2}$

$U = 1.081\,J$

e) The maximum potential energy is:

$U_{max} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (15.385\,\frac{N}{m} )\cdot (0.985\,m)^{2}$

$U_{max} = 7.463\,J$

The kinetic energy when the particle is located 38.1 % of the amplitude away from the equilibrium position is:

$K = U_{max} - U$

$K = 7.463\,J - 1.081\,J$

$K = 6.382\,J$

f) The speed when the particle is located 38.1 % of the amplitude away from the equilibrium position is:

$K = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v^{2}$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2\cdot K}{m} }$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2\cdot (6.382\,J)}{1.09\,kg} }$

$v\approx 3.422\,\frac{m}{s}$

Which term defines the amount of mechanical work an engine can do per unit of heat energy it uses? A. specific heat B. conductiv

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Efficiency

Explanation:

The amount of mechanical work an engine can do per unit of heat energy it uses is called its efficiency.
It is also defined as the output divided by the total electrical power consumed.
In terms of heat, efficiency of engine is given by :

$\eta=1-\dfrac{Q_o}{Q_i}$

$Q_o\ and\ Q_i$ are output heat and input heat respectively.

Hence, the correct option is (d) "efficiency"

Answer:

The two philosophers furthermore seem to share the same conception of the conditions of human freedom. For Hegel as well as Kant, a theory of morality and political right devoted to advancing the cause of freedom must require more than just the absence of obstacles preventing the satisfaction of our animal passions.
