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

Physics
1 answer:
Wewaii [24]2 years ago
4 0
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 .

You are on the south bank of the river in your canoe you need to reach the north bank you know that you can row your canoe at 2
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

(θ) = 60°

Explanation:

Given:

Speed of canoe Vc = 2 m/s

Speed of River Vr = 1 m/s

Computation:

Vc (Cosθ) = Vr

2 (Cosθ) = 1

(Cosθ) =  1 / 2

(Cosθ) = (Cos60)

(θ) = 60°

What is the magnitude of the acceleration vector which causes a particle to move from velocity −5i−2j m/s to −6i+ 7j m/s in 8 se
shusha [124]

Answer:

Acceleration, a=\dfrac{1}{8}(-i+9j)\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Initial velocity of a particle in vector form, u = (-5i - 2j) m/s

Final velocity of particle in vector form, v = (-6i + 7j) m/s

Time taken, t = 8 seconds

We need to find the magnitude of acceleration vector. The changing of velocity w.r.t time is called acceleration of a particle. It is given by :

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

a=\dfrac{(-6i+7j)\ m/s-(-5i-2j)\ m/s}{8\ s}    

a=\dfrac{(-i+9j)}{8\ s}\ m/s^2    

or

a=\dfrac{1}{8}(-i+9j)\ m/s^2

Hence, the value of acceleration vector is solved.

If an object is thrown in an upward direction from the top of a building 160 ft. High at an initial speed of 21.82 mi/h what is
viktelen [127]
To solve this problem we are going to use tow kinematic equations for falling objects.
1. Kinematic equation for final velocity: V_{f}=V_{i}+gt
where
V_{f} is the final velocity 
V_{i} is the initial velocity 
g is the acceleration due to gravity 32 \frac{ft}{s^2}
t is the time 
2. Kinematic equation for distance: d=V_{i}t+ \frac{1}{2} gt^2
where
d is the distance 
V_{i} is the initial velocity 
V_{f} is the final velocity
g is the acceleration due to gravity 32 \frac{ft}{s^2}
t is the time 

First, we are going to convert 21.82 mi/h to ft/s:
21.82 \frac{mi}{h} =31.21 \frac{ft}{s}

Next, we are going to use the first equation to find how long it takes for the rock to reach its maximum height.
We know for our problem that the object is thrown in upward direction, so its velocity at its maximum height (before falling again) will be zero; therefore: V_{f}=0. We also know that it initial speed is 31.21 ft/s, so V_{i}=31.21. Lets replace those values in our formula to find t:
V_{f}=V_{i}+gt
0=31.21+(-32)t
-32t=-31.21
t= \frac{-31.21}{-32}
t=0.98seconds

Next, we are going to use that time in our second kinematic equation to find the distance the object reach at its maximum height:
d=V_{i}t+ \frac{1}{2} gt^2
d=31.21(0.98)+ \frac{1}{2} (-32)(0.98)^2
d=15.22ft 

Now we can add the height of the building and the maximum height of the object:
d=160+15.22=175.22ft

Next, we are going to use that height (distance) in our second kinematic equation one more time to fin how long it takes for the object to fall from its maximum height to the ground:
d=V_{i}t+ \frac{1}{2} gt^2
175.22=31.21t+ \frac{1}{2} (32)t^2
16t^2+31.21t-175.22=0
t=2.47 or t=-4.43
Since time cannot be negative, t=2.47 is the time it takes the object to fall to the ground. 

Finally, we can use that time in our first kinematic equation to find the final speed of the object when it hits the ground:
V_{f}=V_{i}+gt
V_{f}=31.21+(32)(2.47)
V_{f}=110.25 ft/s

We can conclude that the speed of the object when it hits the ground is 110.25 ft/s

3. What is the gravitational force between a 70 kg physics student and her 1 kg textbook, at a distance of 1 meter? (This number
Rina8888 [55]

ANSWER

\begin{equation*} 4.67*10^{-9}\text{ }N \end{equation*}

EXPLANATION

Parameters given:

Mass of the student, M = 70 kg

Mass of the textbook, m = 1 kg

Distance, r = 1 m

To find the gravitational force acting between the student and the textbook, apply the formula for gravitational force:

F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}

where G = gravitational constant

Therefore, the gravitational force acting between the student and the textbook is:

\begin{gathered} F=\frac{6.67430*10^{-11}*70*1}{1^2} \\  \\ F=4.67*10^{-9}\text{ }N \end{gathered}

That is the answer.
