Answer:

D

Explanation:

When the spring is wound, then it gathers potential energy in the form of tension energy. As it slowly unwinds, the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy of the hands' movements of the clock. This energy is channeled through the use of cogs/gears in the clock.

A 11-inch candle is lit and burns at a constant rate of 0.9 inches per hour. Let t t represent the number of hours since the can
Serggg [28]

Answer: F(t) = 11 - 0.9(t)

Explanation:

We know the following:

The candle burns at a ratio given by:

Burning Ratio (Br)  = 0.9 inches / hour

The candle is 11 inches long.

To be able to create a function that give us how much on the candle remains after turning it after a time (t). We will need to know how much of the candle have been burned after t.

Let look the following equation:

Br = Candle Inches (D) / Time for the Candle to burn (T)      (1)

Where (1) is similar to the Velocity equation:

Velocity (V) = Distance (D)/Time(T)

This because is only a relation between a magnitude and time.

Let search for D on (1)

D = Br*T  (2)

Where D is how much candle has been burn in a specif time

To create a function that will tell us how longer remains of the candle after be given a variable time (t) we use the total lenght minus (2):

How much candle remains? ( F(t) ) = 11 inches - Br*t

F(t) = 11 - 0.9(t)

F(t) defines the remaining length of the candle t hours after being lit

"1.0 kg mass is attached to the end of a spring. The mass has an amplitude of 0.10 m and vibrates 2.0 times per second. Find its
prisoha [69]

Answer:

1.3m/s

Explanation:

Data given,

Mass,m=1.0kg,

Amplitude,A=0.10m,

Frequency,f=2.0Hz.

From the equation of a simple harmonic motion, the displacement of the object at a given time is define as

x=Acos\alpha \\

we can express the velocity by the derivative of the displacement,

Hence

V=-Awsin\alpha \\

at equilibrium, the velocity becomes

V=wA\\w=2\pi f

Hence if we substitute values we arrive at

V=2\pi fA\\V=2\pi *2*0.1\\V=1.3m/s

If many household substances classify as acids or bases what is the ph scale
bekas [8.4K]

Answer: Some household items that contain acids include: yogurt, vinegar,lemon juice, citric acid, apples, jelly, pineapples, cranberry sauce, milk, and batteries and In chemistry, pH is a scale used to specify how acidic or basic a water-based solution is. Acidic solutions have a lower pH, while basic solutions have a higher pH. At room temperature, pure water is neither acidic nor basic and has a pH of 7.
