When you push a child on a swing, your action is most effective when your pushes are timed to coincide with the natural frequenc

y of the motion. You are swinging a 30 kg child on a swing suspended from 5 meter cables.Estimate the optimum time interval between your pushes. Would your answer be different if the child had a different mass?

Answer:

T = 4.48 s

we can see that this time period is independent of the mass of the child so answer would be same if the child mass is different

Explanation:

Natural frequency of a simple pendulum of L length is given as

f = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{g}{L}}

so the time period of the oscillation is given as

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

so we will have

L = 5 m

T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{5}{9.81}}

T = 4.48 s

also from above formula we can see that this time period is independent of the mass of the child so answer would be same if the child mass is different

Glass has a hardness that is in the middle of the hardness scale. What is the hardness of Glass?
sweet [91]

Answer: 5.5

Explanation:

Let's start by explaining that hardness is a property that materials have related to the opposition or resistance they offer to alterations such as penetration, abrasion, scratching, cutting, and permanent deformations, among others.

In this context, several hardness scales have been developed to catalog the materials (specifically minerals), being the Mohs scale  the best known. This scale, proposed by the German geologist Friedrich Mohs in 1825, consists of a ratio of ten minerals numbered in increasing order by hardness, from least to greatest.

This is how the scale starts at 1 with the talc (considered the softest material) and ends at 10 with the diamond as the hardest.

Now, if we are told that the glass is in the middle of the hardness scale that goes from 1 to 10, logically its value will be 5 (volcanic glass). However, according to the scale, the glass is at 5.5.

A vertical scale on a spring balance reads from 0 to 155 N . The scale has a length of 10.0 cm from the 0 to 155 N reading. A fi
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

mass of the fish is 8.11 kg

Explanation:

As we know that the frequency of oscillation of spring block system is given as

f = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

here we know that the reading of scale varies from 0 to 155 N from length varies from x = 0 to x = 10 cm

Now we have

k = \frac{155}{0.10} N/m

k = 1550 N/m

so now we have

2.20 = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{1550}{m}}

m = 8.11 kg

so mass of the fish is 8.11 kg

Fill in a T/F answer for each statement below. If false, correct the statement to make it true.:
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let's answer these statements

.1) True. This is the law of reflection.

.2) False. The speed of light depends on the index of refraction n = c / v

           v = c / n

.3) True. The frequency creates a forced oscillation, whereby the atoms re-emit at the same incident frequency

.4) False. The index of refraction is a measure of the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum and the material environment, the ability to change the trajectory is given by the law of refraction

.5) True. True due to the change in beam trajectory due to the law of refraction

.6 False. The phenomenon occurs when you pass from a medium with a higher index to one with a lower ratio, because the refracted beam separates from the normal

.7) True.

.8) False so that the lightning approach is valid Lam >> d,

.9) True.
