A 8.00-kg object is hung from the bottom end of a vertical spring fastened to an overhead beam. The object is set into vertical

oscillations having a period of 1.70 s. Find the force constant of the spring.

Answer:

109.32 N/m

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the hung object, m = 8 kg

Period of oscillation of object, T = 1.7 s

Force constant, k = ?

Recall that the period of oscillation of a Simple Harmonic Motion is given as

T = 2π √(m/k), where

T = period of oscillation

m = mass of object and

k = force constant if the spring

Since we are looking for the force constant, if we make "k" the subject of the formula, we have

k = 4π²m / T², now we go ahead to substitute our given values from the question

k = (4 * π² * 8) / 1.7²

k = 315.91 / 2.89

k = 109.32 N/m

Therefore, the force constant of the spring is 109.32 N/m

The North American Plate is moving west at a rate of approximately 20 mm/yr. How long will it take for New York to move 10° long
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

55000000 years

Explanation:

Rate of North American Plate moving (Velocity) = 20 mm/yr

Degrees New York has to move = 10° west

New York's longitude = 110 km/°

Distance of New York = 110×10 = 1100 km

= 1100×10⁶ mm

\text {Time taken by the continental plate}=\frac {\text {Distance of New York}}{\text {Rate of North American Plate moving (Velocity)}}\\\Rightarrow \text {Time taken by the continental plate}=\frac{1100\times 10^6}{20}\\\Rightarrow \text {Time taken by the continental plate}=55\times 10^6\ years

∴ Time taken by New York to move 10° west is 55000000 years

Based on The MOHS hardness Scale, which mineral could be scratched by a penny but not by a fingernail
melomori [17]

The correct answer is B. Calcite

Explanation:

Mohs hardness scale indicates the hardness of minerals using a scale from 1 to 10 as well as defining the objects or tools that can be used to scratch the minerals. These two features of minerals are shown in the table of the image. About this, it is shown gypsum and talc can be scratched by just a fingernail, considering minerals with a hardness of 2.5 or below can be scratched by a fingernail. In the case of calcite that has a hardness of 3, this cannot be scratched by a fingernail, but it can be scratched by a penny, which works for minerals with a hardness of 3.5 or below. Thus, the correct answer is Calcite.

What has to happen for a feather and ball to fall at the same time
Alex_Xolod [135]
This means that two objects will reach the ground at the same time if they are dropped simultaneously from the same height. ... When air resistance plays a role, the shape of the object becomes important. In air, a feather and a ball do not fall at the same rate.

What would be the final size of a balloon, at -18*C, if the initial volume is 2.0 L and the initial temperature is 20*C?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

1.7 L

Explanation:

PV = nRT

If P, n, and R are constant:

V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂

(2.0 L) / (293.15 K) = V / (255.15 K)

V = 1.7 L
