How often would you push someone on a swing to create a frequency of .4 hertz

The unit "Hertz" means "per second".

Anything happening with a frequency of 0.4 Hz is happening 0.4 per second.

Technically, you must push the swing 0.4 times per second.
But since it's very hard to push 0.4 of one time, you have to be
able to figure out that you should push once every 2.5 seconds.

(1 push / 2.5 sec) = (1/2.5) push/sec = 0.4 per sec = 0.4 Hz .

Answer:

<u> Power = 9.75 ×10^8 $\frac{kgm^2}{s^3}$ </u>

Explanation:

Power is rate of change of energy.
Here gravitational energy is transferred to kinetic energy of water at a definite rate.

For one second 650m^3 of water flows out down to 150m oh depth.

So, the energy at a height of 150m is transformed to kinetic energy.

for a second,

650m^3 of water flows down ⇒ (1000kg/m^3 × 650m^3) = 6.5×10^5kg of warer flos down.

The total gravitational potential energy stored in water is

= <u>mass of water × height× gravity</u>

= 6.5 ×10^5 × 150 × 10 = 9.75 ×10^8 $\frac{kgm^2}{s^2}$

As it is transformed in a second it is also equal to <u>Power.</u>

. A stationary mass explodes into two parts of mass 4 kg and 40 kg . If the K.E of larger mass is 100 J . The K.E of small mass

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

10J

Explanation:

KE = (1/2)mv²

100J = (.5)(40kg)v²

v²=(100J)/(20kg)

v²= 5

KE = 5(.5)(4kg)

KE = 10J

expeople1 [14]

Answer: $I=2 kg-m^2$

Explanation:

Given

mass $m=72 kg$

Force $F=5 N$

door knob is located at a distance of r=0.8 m from axis

Angular acceleration of door $\alpha =2 rad/s^2$

Torque $T=I\alpha =F\times r$

where I=moment of inertia

$5\times 0.8=I\times 2$

$I=2 kg-m^2$
