The reason that oscillating systems are good to use for clocks is:

Physics
1 answer:
Neporo4naja [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

A. The period of an oscillation does not depend upon amplitude.

Explanation:

The period of a spring-mass system is:

T = 1/f = 2π√(m/k)

where f is the frequency, m is the mass, and k is the spring constant.

The answer isn't B.  There are no frictionless systems in the real world.

The answer isn't C or D.  As shown, the frequency is a function of both the mass and the spring constant.

The answer isn't E.  Turning motion into heat is not an advantage for a clock.

The correct answer is A.  The period of the system does not depend on the amplitude.

Akeem is walking on the beach on a hot summer day.
creativ13 [48]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Sand in a beach is warmer than the water of the sea. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Water absorbs less heat from the sun</em> when compared with sand. Sand is darker and also is less reflective. Because of its darker nature, absorption of heat from the sun will be more. Due to its less reflective nature the sand wouldn’t be able to<em> reflect off the sunlight. </em>

But water is highly reflective and can reflect off a <em>major portion of the sunlight falling on the sea</em>. The sea is also deep and thus the heat spreads through a large volume unlike in the <em>case of sand.</em> Water also has the nature of constant movement unlike sand which is stable.  

<em>This factor also heats up sand more than water. </em>

3 A picture is supported by two vertical strings; if the weighi
andrezito [222]

Answer:

<em>The force exerted by each string is 25 N</em>

Explanation:

<u>Net Force</u>

The net force is the vector sum of forces acting on a body. The net force is a single force that represents the effect of the original forces on the body's motion. It gives the particle the same acceleration as all those actual forces together as described by Newton's second law of motion.

The picture described in the problem is hanging at rest supported by two vertical strings. This means that the net force acting on it is zero.

Assume the magnitude of each of these equal forces is F, and the picture has a weight of W=50 N, thus the net force is:

F + F - W

The positive signs indicate an upwards direction and the negative sign means a downwards direction. Since the net force is zero:

F + F - W = 0

2F = W

F = W/2 = 50 N/2

F = 25 N

The force exerted by each string is 25 N

What is the speed of a 0.2 kg baseball if its kinetic energy is 40 j?
prohojiy [21]

The kinetic energy of an object is given by:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where m is the mass of the object and v its speed. The ball in this problem has a mass of m=0.2 kg and a kinetic energy of K=40 J, so we can rearrange the previous equation to find its speed:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}} =\sqrt{\frac{2 \cdot 40 J}{0.2 kg}}=20 m/s
