jeka57 [31]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Friction is a force that holds back the movement of a sliding object.

Explanation:

The two types of friction: Static friction and Kinetic friction.  Static friction operates between two surfaces that aren't moving relative to each other, while kinetic friction acts between objects in motion.

A spring has a spring constant of 20 N/m. How much potential energy is stored in the spring as it stretched 0.20 m
makkiz [27]
The elastic potential energy (Ep) is given by Ep = \frac{1}{2}*k*x^2

Data: 
Ep = ? (Joule)
k = 20 N/m
x (displacement) = 0.20 m

Solving:
Ep = \frac{1}{2}*k*x^2
Ep = \frac{1}{2}*20*0.20^2
Ep =  \frac{20*0.04}{2}
Ep =  \frac{0.8}{2}
\boxed{\boxed{Ep = 0.4\:J}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

If you observe an object in the universe that is roughly 8 megaparsecs in size, what is the object most likely to be?
Dmitrij [34]

E. Galaxy Cluster

Explanation:

A galaxy cluster, or cluster of galaxies, is a structure that consists of anywhere from hundreds to thousands of galaxies that are bound together by mutual gravity.

A megaparsec is a million parsecs and there are about 3.3 light years in a mega-parsec. Parsec is rather a natural distance unit for astronomers. The standard abbreviation of a mega-parsec is Mpc.

A parsec is approximately 3.09 x 1016 meters, a megaparsec is about 3.09 x 1022 meters.

Hence, 8 megaparsecs is gigantic size and that can be only of a galaxy cluster consisting of hundreds and thousands of galaxies bounded together.

Keywords: galaxies, parsec, megaparsec, galaxy cluster

A traveling wave on a string can be described by the equation : y = (5.26 ~\text{m}) \cdot \sin \big( (1.65 ~\frac{\text{rad}}{\
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

  t = 1.77 s

Explanation:

The equation of a traveling wave is

       y = A sin [2π (x /λ -t /T)]

where A is the oscillation amplitude, λ the wavelength and T the period

the speed of the wave is constant and is given by

      v = λ f

Where the frequency and period are related

     f = 1 / T

we substitute

      v = λ / T

let's develop the initial equation

    y = A sin [(2π / λ) x - (2π / T) t +Ф]

where Ф is a phase constant given by the initial conditions

the equation given in the problem is

    y = 5.26 sin (1.65 x - 4.64 t + 1.33)

if we compare the terms of the two equations

 

         2π /λ = 1.65

          λ = 2π / 1.65

          λ = 3.81 m

         2π / T = 4.64

          T = 2π / 4.64

          T = 1.35 s

we seek the speed of the wave

           v = 3.81 / 1.35

           v = 2.82 m / s

           

Since this speed is constant, we use the uniformly moving ratios

          v = d / t

           t = d / v

           t = 5 / 2.82

           t = 1.77 s
