A spring with spring constant 15 N/m hangs from the ceiling. A ball is attached to the spring and allowed to come to rest. It is

then pulled down 6.0 cm and released. If the ball makes 30 oscillations in 20 s, what are its (a) mass and (b) maximum speed?

Answer:

a

   m  = 0.169 \ kg

b

  |v_{max} |=  0.5653 \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  spring constant is  k =  14 \ N/m

     The  maximum extension of the spring is  A =  6.0 \ cm  =  0.06 \ m

     The number of oscillation is  n  =  30

      The  time taken is  t  =  20 \ s

Generally the the angular speed of this oscillations is mathematically represented as

           w = \frac{2 \pi}{T}

where T is the period which is mathematically represented as

     T  =  \frac{t}{n}

substituting values

     T  =  \frac{20}{30 }

     T  = 0.667 \ s

Thus  

       w = \frac{2 * 3.142 }{ 0.667}

       w =  9.421 \ rad/s

this angular speed can also be represented mathematically as

       w =  \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

=>   m  =\frac{k }{w^2}

substituting values

      m  =\frac{ 15 }{(9.421)^2}

      m  = 0.169 \ kg

In SHM (simple harmonic motion )the equation for velocity is  mathematically represented as

        v =  - Awsin (wt)

The  velocity is maximum when  wt = \(90^o) \ or \ 1.5708\ rad

     v_{max} = -  A* w

=>   |v_{max} |=  A* w

=>    |v_{max} |=   0.06 * 9.421

=>   |v_{max} |=  0.5653 \ m/s

What frequency must a sound wave have in air to have the same wavelength as a 750 Hz sound wave in a platinum bar? Vair = 340 m/
amm1812

Answer:

f = 91.1 Hz

Explanation:

As we know that it is given here that wavelength of sound in platinum is same as the wavelength of sound in air

so we can use the formula of wavelength in two mediums

\frac{speed}{frequency} = \frac{speed}{frequency}

now it is given that

v_{air} = 340 m/s

v_{pt} = 2800 m/s

frequency of sound in platinum is 750 Hz

now frequency of sound in air = f

now from above formula

\frac{340}{f} = \frac{2800}{750}

f = 91.1 Hz

Answer:

When uranium is mined, it consists of approximately 99.3% uranium-238 (U238), 0.7% uranium-235 (U235), and < 0.01% uranium-234 (U234). These are the different uranium isotopes. Isotopes of uranium contain 92 protons in the atom's center or nucleus. (The number of protons in the nucleus is what makes the atoms "uranium.") The U238 atoms contain 146 neutrons, the U235 atoms contain 143 neutrons, and the U234 atoms contain only 142 neutrons. The total number of protons plus neutrons gives the atomic mass of each isotope — that is 238, 235, or 234, respectively. On an atomic level, the size and weight of these isotopes are slightly different. This implies that with the right equipment and under the right conditions, the isotopes can be separated.
