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.

Surrounding a magnet is a magnetic field. Surrounding an electron is an electric field. Surrounding Earth is
trasher [3.6K]

Answer: B. A gravitational field

Explanation:

Surrounding earth is gravitational field. Gravitational field is a region of space were gravitational force can be felt and gravitational force is the gravitational pull on the surface of the earth. The presence of this gravity is what allow us to be able to walk freely without falling. It also make us jump up and be able to land back on the ground. Assuming there are no force of gravity in the surface of the earth, there won't be any possibility of landing back on the ground after jumping.

Imagine you derive the following expression by analyzing the physics of a particular system: v2=v20+2ax. The problem requires so
lisabon 2012 [21]

As per kinematics equation we are given that

v^2 = v_o^2 + 2ax

now we are given that

a = 2.55 m/s^2

v_0 = 21.8 m/s

v = 0

now we need to find x

from above equation we have

0^2 = 21.8^2 + 2(2.55)x

0 = 475.24 + 5.1 x

x = 93.2 m

so it will cover a distance of 93.2 m
