Answer:

A = 0.22 m

Explanation:

The spring with the block and the pebble forms an oscillatory system, this system is described by the expression

         x = A cos (wt + φ)

         w = √ (k / m).

The data they give us is the amplitude of the movement (A = 10 cm), the oscillation mass is equal to the block mass plus the mass of the pebble

         m = m + M

         m = 0.031 + 0.108

         m = 0. 139 kg

To find the spring constant let's use Hooke's law

         F = k X

The force is the weight of the pebble and the additional elongation is x = 4.9 cm, let's calculate

         k = F / x

         k = mg / x

         k = 0.031   9.8 / 0.049

         k = 6.2 N / m

Let's look for angular velocity

        w = √ (6.2 / 0.139)

        w = 6,670 rad / s

Let's write the oscillation equation with this data

         x = 0.10 cos (6,670 t)

For the pebble to remain in contact with the block, the acceleration of the spring system plus block with pebble must be less than the acceleration of gravity in the descending oscillation

Let's look for system acceleration

         a = d²x / dt²

         dx / dt = - A w sin (wt + Ф)

         d²x / dt² = - A w² cos (wt+Ф)

To find the maximum value cos (wt) = ±1

         g = A w²

         A = g / w²

         A = 9.8 / 6.67²

         A = 0.22 m

When the amplitude of the oscillation exceeds this value the pebble is delayed with respect to the block

Which of the following are single-displacement reactions?
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

A & D

Explanation:

A single-displacement reaction is a chemical reaction whereby one element is substituted for another one in a compound and thereby generating a new element and also a new compound as products.

From the options, only options A & D fits this definition of single-displacement reactions.

For option D: Both left and hand and right hand sides each have one element and one compound. We can see that K is substituted from KBr to join Cl to form KCl and Br2 on the right hand side.

For option A: Both left and hand and right hand sides each have one element and one compound. We can see that OH is substituted from 2H2O to join Mg to form Mg(OH)2 and H2 on the right hand side.

The other options are not correct because they don't involve only and element and a compound on each side of the reaction.

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

The value is v  =  2.999 *10^{8} \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The time taken to travel to the planet from earth is t = 189 \ light-years

    The  time to be spent on the ship is  t_{s} =  12 \  years

Generally speed can be obtained using the mathematical relation represented below

       t_s  =  2 * t *  \sqrt{1 -  \frac{v^2}{c^2 } }

The 2 in the equation show that the trip is a round trip i.e going and coming back

=>    12 =  2 * 189 *  \sqrt{1 -  \frac{v^2}{(3.0*10^{8})^2 } }

=>     v  =  2.999 *10^{8} \  m/s
