A spring suspended vertically is 11.9 cm long. When you suspend a 37 g weight from the spring, at rest, the spring is 21.5 cm lo

ng. Next you pull down on the weight so the spring is 25.2 cm long and you release the weight from rest. What is the period of oscillation?

Answer:

Time period of oscillations is 0.62 s

Explanation:

Due to suspension of weight the change in the length of the spring is given as

$\Delta L = L_f - L_i$

$\Delta L = 21.5 - 11.9 = 9.6 cm$

now we know that spring is stretched due to its weight so at equilibrium the force due to weight is counter balanced by the spring force

$mg = kx$

$0.037 (9.81) = k(0.096)$

$k = 3.78 N/m$

Now the period of oscillation of spring is given as

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$

Now plug in all values in it

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{0.037}{3.78}}$

$T = 0.62 s$

Bare free charges do not remain stationary when close together. To illustrate this, calculate the acceleration of two isolated p

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

Acceleration, $a=9.91\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Separation between the protons, $r=3.73\ nm=3.73\times 10^{-9}\ m$

Charge on protons, $q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

Mass of protons, $m=1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg$

We need to find the acceleration of two isolated protons. It can be calculated by equating electric force between protons and force due to motion as :

$ma=\dfrac{kq^2}{r^2}$

$a=\dfrac{kq^2}{mr^2}$

$a=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{1.67\times 10^{-27}\times (3.73\times 10^{-9})^2}$

$a=9.91\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of two isolated protons is $9.91\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

A paper clip that has a mass of 1.5 grams is thrown into the air and initially has a kinetic energy

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

$v = 4.2 \ m/s$

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of the paper clip, $m = 1.5 \ g = 0.0015 \ kg$

Kinetic energy, $K = 0.013 \ \rm J$

Let the velocity of the paper clip when it is thrown be <em>v</em>.

Thus,

$K = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

$0.013 = 0.5 \times 0.0015 \times v^{2}$

$\Rightarrow \ v = 4.16 \ m/s$

$v = 4.2 \ m/s.$ (rounding to nearest tenth)

Given:A=6x-2y B:-4x-8y C:-3x+9y. Commute A+B-C

DedPeter [7]

<span>A+B-C
</span><span>A = 6x - 2y
B = -4x - 8y
C = -3x + 9y

(</span>6x - 2y) + (-4x - 8y) - (-3x + 9y)
(6x - 2y) + (-4x - 8y) + (3x - 9y)
2x -10y + (3x - 9y)

5x - 19y

The speed on a car speedometer. Is it speed or velocity? Explain Why

Sliva [168]

Velocity is a speed AND a direction.
When you turn a corner, or go around a curve in the road, your
direction changes, but the reading on the dial doesn't change.
So it can't be showing velocity. It must be showing only speed.
That's probably a big part of the reason why it's called a speedometer
and not a velocimeter.
