Describe what happens to water waves when they strike a flat surface?

A spring suspended vertically is 11.9 cm long. When you suspend a 37 g weight from the spring, at rest, the spring is 21.5 cm lo

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Time period of oscillations is 0.62 s

Explanation:

Due to suspension of weight the change in the length of the spring is given as

$\Delta L = L_f - L_i$

$\Delta L = 21.5 - 11.9 = 9.6 cm$

now we know that spring is stretched due to its weight so at equilibrium the force due to weight is counter balanced by the spring force

$mg = kx$

$0.037 (9.81) = k(0.096)$

$k = 3.78 N/m$

Now the period of oscillation of spring is given as

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

Now plug in all values in it

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{0.037}{3.78}}$

$T = 0.62 s$

Students perform a set of experiments by placing a block of mass m against a spring, compressing the spring a distance x along a

Verizon [17]

Increasing the angle of inclination of the plane decreases the velocity of the block as it leaves the spring.

The statement that indicates how the relationship between v and x changes is; As x increases, v increases, but the relationship is no longer linear and the values of v will be less for the same value of x.

Reasons:

The energy given to the block by the spring = $\mathbf{0.5 \cdot k \cdot x^2}$

According to the principle of conservation of energy, we have;

On a flat plane, energy given to the block = $0.5 \cdot k \cdot x^2$ = kinetic energy of

block = $0.5 \cdot m \cdot v^2$

Therefore;

0.5·k·x² = 0.5·m·v²

Which gives;

x² ∝ v²

x ∝ v

On a plane inclined at an angle θ, we have;

The energy of the spring = $\mathbf{0.5 \cdot k \cdot x^2}$

The force of the weight of the block on the string, $F = m \cdot g \cdot sin(\theta)$

The energy given to the block = $0.5 \cdot k \cdot x^2 - m \cdot g \cdot sin(\theta)$ = The kinetic energy of block as it leaves the spring = $\mathbf{0.5 \cdot m \cdot v^2}$

Which gives;

$0.5 \cdot k \cdot x^2 - m \cdot g \cdot sin(\theta) = 0.5 \cdot m \cdot v^2$

Which is of the form;

a·x² - b = c·v²

a·x² + c·v² = b

Where;

a, b, and c are constants

The graph of the equation a·x² + c·v² = b is an ellipse

Therefore;

As x increases, v increases, however, the value of v obtained will be lesser than the same value of x as when the block is on a flat plane.

Please find attached a drawing related to the question obtained from a similar question online

The possible question options are;

As x increases, v increases, but the relationship is no longer linear and the values of v will be less for the same value of x

The relationship is no longer linear and v will be more for the same value of x

The relationship is still linear, with lesser value of v

The relationship is still linear, with higher value of v

The relationship is still linear, but vary inversely, such that as x increases, v decreases

Allyson and Adrian have decided to connect their ankles with a bungee cord; one end is tied to each person's ankle. The cord is

Damm [24]

Complete question is;

Allyson and Adrian have decided to connect their ankles with a bungee cord; one end is tied to each person's ankle. The cord is 40 feet long, but can stretch up to 120 feet. They both start from the same location. Allyson moves 10 ft/sec and Adrian moves 9 ft/sec in the directions indicated. Adrian stops moving at time t = 5.5 sec, but Allyson keeps on moving 10 ft/sec in the indicated direction. (If a coordinate system is used, assume that the girls' starting position is located at

(x, y) = (0, 0) and that Allyson and Adrian move in the positive y and negative x directions, respectively. Let one unit equal one foot.)

Compute the length of the bungee cord at t = 7 seconds. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Answer:

Length of bungee cord = 85.734 ft

Explanation:

We are told that Adrian moves 9ft/sec. Thus, at 5.5 seconds, distance he moved is; 9 ft/sec × 5.5sec = 49.5 ft in the negative x (-x) direction. Therefore, the coordinate is (-49.5, 0).

Now, Allyson has moved 10ft/sec. Thus, at 7 seconds, distance he moved would be; 10 ft/sec x 7sec = 70 feet in the positive (+y) direction. Therefore, the coordinate is (0, 70).

Now, since they started from the origin, it means (0, 0) is a coordinate. Thus, we now have 3 coordinates which are; (0, 0), (0, 70) & (-49.5,0). These 3 coordinates would therefore combine to form a right triangle.

The hypotenuse is the distance between Allyson and Adrian.

Thus, from pythagoras theorem, we can find the distance between them which is same as the length of the cord.

Thus;

(-49.5)² + 70² = D².

D² = 2450.25 + 4900

D = √7350.25

D = 85.734 ft

If the pressure in a gas is doubled while its volume is held constant, by what factor do vrms change

Nat2105 [25]

Answer is given below

Explanation:

given data

pressure = double

volume = constant

solution

As we know that an Average velocity and rms velocity is directly proportional to square root of PV ..................1

so if we take P is doubled while keeping V constant

than Velocity increases by a factor $\sqrt{2}$

so that Factor = 1.414 for both the cases
