A mass m attached to a spring of constant k is oscillating on a frictionless surface. A second mass of mass m is dropped on top

of the first at the moment the spring is extended to the end (x = A). Which of the following is true?
A. The maximum velocity does not change.
B. The amplitude of the oscillation A decreases.
C. The frequency of oscillations f does not change.
D. The frequency of oscillations f increases.
E. The period of oscillation increases.

Answer:

E. The period of oscillation increases.

Explanation:

The period of oscillation is:

T = 2π√(m/k)

Frequency is the inverse of period (f = 1/T), so as period increases, frequency decreases.

Increasing the mass will increase the period and decrease the frequency.

A 26 kg body is moving through space in the positive direction of an x axis with a speed of 350 m/s when, due to an internal exp
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

a.) 1567.2 m/s

b.) 149.4 m/s

Explanation:

Given that a 26 kg body is moving through space in the positive direction of an x axis with a speed of 350 m/s when, due to an internal explosion, it breaks into three parts. One part, with a mass of 7.8 kg, moves away from the point of explosion with a speed of 180 m/s in the positive y direction. A second part, with a mass of 8.8 kg, moves in the negative x direction with a speed of 640 m/s.

The x-component of the third part can be calculated by assuming that it moves in a positive x axis.

The third mass = 26 - ( 7.8 + 8.8)

The third mass = 26 - 16.6

The third mass = 9.4kg

since momentum is conserved, the momentum before explosion will be equal to sum of the momentum after explosion

26 x 350 = -8.8 x 640 + 9.4V

9100 = -5632 + 9.4V

9.4V = 9100 + 5632

9.4V = 14732

V = 14732/9.4

V = 1567.2 m/s

(b) y-component of the velocity of the third part will be

7.8 x 180 = 9.4 V

1404 = 9.4V

V = 1404/9.4

V = 149.4 m/s

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

<h2>A. Nearsightedness</h2>

Explanation:

A nearsightedness is an eye defect that occurs when someone is only able to see close ranged object but not far distance object. According to the question, if the length of my eye decreases slightly as I age, this means there is a possibility that I will find it difficult to view a far distance object as I age.

At 70, once my eyes had decreased slightly in length, this means I will only be able to see close ranged object but not far distant object, showing that I am now suffering from nearsightedness according to its definition above.
