A vertical scale on a spring balance reads from 0 to 200 N . The scale has a length of 11.0 cm from the 0 to 200 N reading. A fi

sh hanging from the bottom of the spring oscillates vertically at a frequency of 2.55 Hz .Ignoring the mass of the spring, what is the mass m of the fish?

Answer:

7.08 kg

Explanation:

Given:

Length of scale (x) = 11.0 cm = 0.110 m [1 cm = 0.01 m]

Range of scale is from 0 to 200 N.

Frequency of oscillation of fish (f) = 2.55 Hz

Mass of the fish (m) = ?

Now, range of scale is from 0 to 200 N. So, maximum force, the spring can hold is 200 N. For this maximum force, the extension in the spring is equal to the length of the scale. So, x = 0.11\ m

Now, we know that, spring force is given as:

F=kx\\\\k=\frac{F}{x}

Where, 'k' is spring constant.

Now, plug in the given values and solve for 'k'. This gives,

k=\frac{200\ N}{0.11\ m}=1818.18\ N/m

Now, the oscillation of the fish represents simple harmonic motion as it is attached to the spring.

So, the frequency of oscillation is given as:

f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

Squaring both sides and expressing it in terms of 'm', we get:

\frac{k}{m}=4\pi^2f^2\\\\m=\dfrac{k}{4\pi^2f^2}

Now, plug in the given values and solve for 'm'. This gives,

m=\frac{1818.18\ N/m}{4\pi^2\times (2.55\ Hz)^2}\\\\m=\frac{1818.18\ N/m}{256.708\ Hz^2}\\\\m=7.08\ kg

Therefore, the mass of the fish is 7.08 kg.

The price of coffee fell sharply last month, while the quantity sold remained the same. Five people suggest various explanations
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

France. True Supply increased and demand did not adapt

Explanation:

If the price of coffee decreases it may be due to two causes

- Increase of the offer

- decrease in demand

- both simultaneously.

Let's examine the statement. They tell us that the amount sold remained constant, so there is no decrease in demand, therefore the only cause may be the increase in supply.

Let's check the answers

Antonio     False. The demand is constant.

Carolina.   False. The demand is constant.

Dmitri        False. The demand is constant.

France.     True Supply increased and demand did not adapt

Jake.         False. Demand did not adapt to the increase in supply

Describe three societal needs that drive scientific endeavor and give an example of a scientific endeavor associated with each.
Trava [24]

The answer is:


1. Cure disease

2. Improve livelihoods

3. Understand nature and themselves.


1. Disease has plagued humans since the first man. Therefore, man has always used science to seek a cure for any emerging disease such as cancer today

2. Humans use science to improve livelihoods such as means of faster traveling and increasing yields in the fields

3. Science has been used to understand humans and the environment in which they live. This is evident with the numerous scientific probes that explore the earth and space collecting and analyzing data.

How much metabolic energy is required for a 68kg person to run at a speed of 15km/hr for 15min ?
irga5000 [103]
<span>What I have here is exactly the same problem, however, with the time changed to 19 mins:

metabolic energy = metabolic power*time = 1.150*19*60 = 1.311 kJ..corresponding to 1.311/4.186 = 313,2 Cal or kcal 

If we reasonably assume a metabolic eff.cy of 20%, it means we need to assume food for 1500 Cal approx.

Just plug the value t=15min to the equation and you will surely get the correct answer.

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead!
