Answer:

1820.44 N/m

Explanation:

mass of ball, m = 4 kg

velocity of ball, v = 16 m/s

distance x = 0.75 m

let k be the spring constant.

By the use of conservation of energy,

the kinetic energy of the ball is equal to the potential energy of the spring

\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}=\frac{1}{2}kx^{2}

4 x 16 x 16 = K x 0.75 x 0.75

K = 1820.44 N/m

Thus, the spring constant is 1820.44 N/m.

Answer:

spring constant of the spring is 1820.44 N/m

Explanation:

given data

ball mass = 4 kg

speed = 16 m/s

distance = 0.75 m

to find out

spring constant of the spring

solution

we know that kinetic energy of ball = energy store in spring as compression

so we can express it as

0.5 × m × v² = 0.5 × k × x²    ....................1

so put here value we get spring constant k

m × v² =  k × x²

4 × 16² =  k × 0.75²

solve it we get

k  =  1820.44 N/m

so spring constant of the spring is 1820.44 N/m

In an RLC series circuit that includes a source of alternating current operating at fixed frequency and voltage, the resistance
maw [93]

Answer:

Capacitive Reactance is 4 times of resistance

Solution:

As per the question:

R = X_{L} = j\omega L = 2\pi fL

where

R = resistance

X_{L} = Inductive Reactance

f = fixed frequency

Now,

For a parallel plate capacitor, capacitance, C:

C = \frac{\epsilon_{o}A}{x}

where

x = separation between the parallel plates

Thus

C ∝ \frac{1}{x}

Now, if the distance reduces to one-third:

Capacitance becomes 3 times of the initial capacitace, i.e., x' = 3x, then C' = 3C and hence Current, I becomes 3I.

Also,

Z = \sqrt{R^{2} + (X_{L} - X_{C})^{2}}

Also,

Z ∝ I

Therefore,

\frac{Z}{I} = \frac{Z'}{I'}

\frac{\sqrt{R^{2} + (R - X_{C})^{2}}}{3I} = \frac{\sqrt{R^{2} + (R - \frac{X_{C}}{3})^{2}}}{I}

{R^{2} + (R - X_{C})^{2}} = 9({R^{2} + (R - \frac{X_{C}}{3})^{2}})

{R^{2} + R^{2} + X_{C}^{2} - 2RX_{C} = 9({R^{2} + R^{2} + \frac{X_{C}^{2}}{9} - 2RX_{C})

Solving the above eqn:

X_{C} = 4R

The whale shark is the largest of all fish and can have the mass of three adult
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

m = 20,000 kg

Explanation:

Force, F=2.5\times 10^4\ N

Acceleration of the shark, a=1.25\ m/s^2

It is required to find the mass of the shark. Let m is the mass. Using second law of motion to find it as follows :

F = ma

Putting the value of F and a to find m

m=\dfrac{F}{a}\\\\m=\dfrac{2.5\times 10^4}{1.25}\\\\m=20,000\ kg

So, the shark's mass is 20,000 kg.

A simple pendulum has length of 820mm. Calculate the frequency (g = 9.8 ms -2)<br>​
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf f=0.55 \ Hz}

Explanation:

<u>Given Data:</u>

Length = l = 820 mm = 0.82 m

Acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 ms⁻²

<u>Required:</u>

Frequency = f = ?

<u>Formula:</u>

\displaystyle f =\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{g}{l} }

<u>Solution:</u>

\displaystyle f =\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{g}{l} } \\\\Put\ the\ givens\\\\f=\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{9.8}{0.82} }\\\\ f = 0.159 \times \sqrt{11.95} \\\\f=0.159 \times 3.457\\\\f=0.55 \ Hz\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}

Learning Task 1: Define or describe the following words relat are not familiar with the word, you may ask assistance from y your
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

1.) TABLE = The table is 2.74 m (9.0 ft) long, 1.525 m (5.0 ft) wide, and 76 cm (2.5 ft) high with any continuous material so long as the table yields a uniform bounce of about 23 cm (9.1 in) when a standard ball is dropped onto it from a height of 30 cm (11.8 in), or about 77%.

2.) TENNIS = Tennis is a racket sport that can be played individually against a single opponent (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). Each player uses a tennis racket that is strung with cord to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt over or around a net and into the opponent's court.

3.) PING-PONG = Table tennis, also known as ping-pong and whiff-whaff, is a sport in which two or four players hit a lightweight ball, also known as the ping-pong ball, back and forth across a table using small rackets. ... Spinning the ball alters its trajectory and limits an opponent's options, giving the hitter a great advantage.

4.) NET = This is stretched across the centter of the table by a cord attached to a post at either end. It measures 6ft long and the ball must pass over it for a rally to continue.

5.) BALL = The ball, which is spherical and hollow, was once made of white celluloid. Since 1969 a plastic similar to celluloid has been used. The ball, which may be coloured white, yellow, or orange, weighs about 0.09 ounce (2.7 grams) and has a diameter of about 1.6 inches (4 cm).

6.) RACKET = A table tennis racket is made up of two distinct parts - a wooden blade which incorporates the handle together with table tennis rubbers affixed to each side of the blade using water-based glue.
