A block with a mass of 0.400 kg is connected to a spring, displaced in the positive direction a distance of 50.0 cm from equilib

rium, and released from rest at t = 0. The block then oscillates without friction on a horizontal surface. After being released, the first time the block is a distance of 25.0 cm from equilibrium is at t = 0.200 s.
(a) What is the block's period of oscillation?

(b) What is the the value of the spring constant?

Answer:

a)  T = 1,199 s b)  k = 11.0 N / m

Explanation:

The oscillatory movement of a mass-spring system is described by the equation

    x (t) = A cos (w t)

Where A is the amplitude of the movement. W is the angular velocity, which is given by

    w = √ k / m

The amplitude of the system is the maximum elongation that the spring has before releasing it, in this case it is A = 50 cm = 0.50 m, the equation is

     x = 0.50 cos (wt)

We can calculate the angular velocity with the point given by x = 0.250 m for t = 0.200s

     w t = cos⁻¹ (x / A)

     w = 1 / t cos⁻¹ (x / A)

     w = 1/0.200  cos⁻¹(0.25 / 0.50)

Let's be careful because the angle is in radians

     w = 5.24 rad / s

Angular velocity is

    w = 2 π f = 2π / T

    T = 2π / w

    T = 2π / 5.24

    T = 1,199 s

With the angular velocity equation we can take off the spring constant

    w² = k / m

    k = m w²

    k = 0.400 5.24²

    k = 11.0 N / m

Predict which molecule will show a similar relationship between its heat of fusion and its heat vaporization that water does
BaLLatris [955]

Question:

A) C6H6

B) CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2COH6

C) NaCl

D) NH3

Answer:

The correct option is;

A) C₆H₆

Explanation:

Heat of fusion = 6.02 kJ/mol

Heat of vaporization =40.8 kJ/mol

Here, we analyze each of the options as follows

A) C₆H₆

Benzene has a melting point of 5.5° C and a boiling point of

80.1 ° C similar to water

Heat of fusion = 9.92 kJ/mol

Heat of vaporization =30.8kJ/mol

B) CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂COH₆

The above compound is more likely solid

C) NaCl solid

D) NH₃ melting point = -77.73 °C boiling point =  -33.34 °C

Of the above, the compounds the one  that closely resembles water is C₆H₆

two resistors of 20 ohm each are connected in a parallel with a battery of 10V. The total current passing through circuit is
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

1 Ampere.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Resistor 1 (R₁) = 20 ohm

Resistor (R₂) = 20 ohm

Voltage (V) = 10 V

Current (I) =?

Next, we shall determine the equivalent resistance in the circuit. This can be obtained as follow:

Resistor 1 (R₁) = 20 ohm

Resistor (R₂) = 20 ohm

Equivalent Resistance (R) =?

Since the resistors are in parallel connection, the equivalent resistance can be obtained as follow:

R = (R₁ × R₂) / (R₁ + R₂)

R = (20 × 20) / (20 + 20)

R = 400 / 40

R = 10 ohm

Finally, we shall determine the total current in the circuit. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

Voltage (V) = 10 V

Equivalent Resistance (R) = 10 ohm

Current (I) =?

V = IR

10 = I × 10

Divide both side by 10

I = 10 / 10

I = 1 Ampere

Therefore, the total current in the circuit is 1 Ampere.

What is the relationship between air pressure and air temperature?
LenKa [72]
The relationship between the two is that air temperature changes the air pressure. For example, as the air warms up the molecules in the air become more active and they use up more individual space even though there is the same<span> number of molecules. This causes an </span>increase<span> in the air pressure.</span>

A light, flexible cable is wrapped around a solid cylinder with mass 3.3 kg and a radius of 0.8 meters. The cylinder rotates on
kari74 [83]

Answer:

9.16rad/s^2

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass,m_1=3.3 kg

Radius,r=0.8 m

m_2=4.9 kg

Height,h=2.9 m

We have to find the angular acceleration of the cylinder.

According to question

4.9g-T=4.9a

Tr=I\alpha

Where

\alpha=\frac{a}{r}

Tr=\frac{1}{2}m_1ra

T=\frac{1}{2}m_1a=\frac{1}{2}(3.3)a

Substitute the value

4.9g-\frac{1}{2}(3.3a)=4.9a

4.9\times 9.8=4.9a+\frac{3.3a}{2}

Where g=9.8 m/s^2

48.02=a(4.9+1.65)=6.55a

a=\frac{48.02}{6.55}=7.33m/s^2

Angular acceleration,\alpha=\frac{a}{r}=\frac{7.33}{0.8}=9.16rad/s^2
