If the amplitude of a simple harmonic oscillator is doubled, by what factor does the total energy increase?

Physics
1 answer:
dybincka [34]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

c)by a factor of four

Explanation:

The total energy of a simple harmonic oscillator is given by

E=\frac{1}{2}kA^2

where

k is the spring constant of the oscillator

A is the amplitude of the motion

In this problem, the amplitude of the oscillator is doubled, so

A' = 2A

Therefore, the new total energy is

E'=\frac{1}{2}k(2A)^2=4(\frac{1}{2}kA^2)=4E

So, the total energy increases by a factor 4.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

I=0.0361 kg.m^2

Explanation:

Torque is the rotational equivalent of a force

Torque= perpendicular distance r X Force F

Torque T = I(moment of inertia) X α (angular acceleration)

T= Iα

r= 0.0285m

F= 1.9 x 10^3

T=0.0285 x 1.9 x 10^3

T= 54.15Nm

I=T/α

I=54.15/150

I=0.361 kg.m^2

Explain where most of the mass of an atom is located. Also, explain why some particles that make up the atom do not contribute m
Naddika [18.5K]
Within an atom, there are three elementary particles: the proton, neutron, and electron. Most of the mass of an atom is situated within the nucleus, which is the central part of the atom. It is made up of protons and neutrons, which are the heaviest subatomic particles. The electrons within the atom, orbit around the nucleus at a very far distance. Electrons are also a part of the lightest group of subatomic particles called leptons. That is why these electrons don't contribute much to the majority of an atoms mass. They are very light and they orbit at very far distances.

The speed of a wave changes depending on the temperature of the medium. What do you think is the reason for this?​
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer: Because of the different wave speed from light and sound. Explanation: There is a major difference between the speed wave of light and sound, light travels at 186, 282 miles per second, and sound can travel at different speeds and its significantly slower so it is easier to measure it
