To solve the problem it is necessary to use the concepts related to the calculation of periods by means of a spring constant.

We know that by Hooke's law

F=kx

Where,

k = Spring constant

x = Displacement

Re-arrange to find k,

k= \frac{F}{x}

k= \frac{mg}{x}

k= \frac{(0.35)(9.8)}{12*10^{-2}}

k = 28.58N/m

Perioricity in an elastic body is defined by

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

Where,

m = Mass

k = Spring constant

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{0.35}{28.58}}

T = 0.685s

Therefore the period of the oscillations is 0.685s

kow [346]

Answer:

Conservation of angular momentum

Explanation:

When the objects spread in universe after big bang, because of the tremendous force , they gained angular momentum and started to rotate. Since, then the object continue to rotate on their axis because of conservation of angular momentum. In vacuum of space there no other forces that can stop these rotation, therefore, they continue to rotate.

Two cars collide at an icy intersection and stick together afterward. The first car has a mass of 1150 kg and was approaching at
devlian [24]
Force acting during collision is internal so momentum is conserve so (initial momentum = final momentum) in both directions Two cars collide at an icy intersection and stick together afterward. The first car has a mass of 1150 kg and was approaching at 5.00 m/s due south. The second car has a mass of 750 kg and was approaching at 25.0 m/s due west. Let Vx is and Vy are final velocities of car in +x and +y direction respectively. initial momentum in +ve x (east) direction = final momentum in +ve x direction (east)

- 750*25 + 1150*0 = (750+1150)
Vx initial momentum in +ve y (north) direction = final momentum in +ve y direction (north)

750*0 - 1150*5 = (750+1150)
Vy from here you can calculate Vx and Vy so final velocity V is


<span>V=<span>(√</span><span>V2x</span>+<span>V2y</span>) 
</span>
and angle make from +ve x axis is

<span>θ=<span>tan<span>−1</span></span>(<span><span>Vy</span><span>Vx</span></span>)

</span><span> kinetic energy loss in the collision = final KE - initial KE</span>

A railroad freight car, mass 15,000 kg, is allowed to coast along a level track at a speed of 2.0 m/s. It collides and couples w
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The speed of the two cars after coupling is 0.46 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of car 1, m₁ = 15,000 kg

Mass of car 2, m₂ = 50,000 kg

Speed of car 1, u₁ = 2 m/s

Initial speed of car 2, u₂ = 0

Let V is the speed of the two cars after coupling. It is the case of inelastic collision. Applying the conservation of momentum as :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V

V=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}

V=\dfrac{15000\ kg\times 2\ m/s+0}{(15000\ kg+50000\ kg)}  

V = 0.46 m/s

So, the speed of the two cars after coupling is 0.46 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

The speed at which an object falls and the acceleration at which it falls are
allochka39001 [22]

No, the speed at which an object falls is not equal to the acceleration at which it falls.

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Speed is defined as how fast an object can cover a specific distance and in what time it covers. So it is measured as the ratio of distance covered to the time taken to cover that distance. While acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Moreover, speed is a scalar quantity and acceleration is a vector quantity. So most of the times, the direction will play an important role in the varying values of speed and acceleration. Also, acceleration of an object will depend upon the force and mass of the object. Thus, speed and acceleration will not attain same value always.
