A horizontal spring is attached to a wall at one end and a mass at the other. The mass rests on a frictionless surface. You pull

the mass, stretching the spring beyond the equilibrium position a distance A, and release it from rest. The mass then begins to oscillate in simple harmonic motion with amplitude A. During one period, the mass spends part of the time in regions where the magnitude of its displacement from equilibrium is greater than (0.30)A— that is, when its position is between −A and (−0.30)A, and when its position is between (0.30)A and A. What total percentage of the period does the mass lie in these regions?

Answer:

 Δt'/ T% = 90.3%

Explanation:

Simple harmonic movement is described by the expression

         x = A cos (wt)

we find the time for the two points of motion

x = - 0.3 A

        -0.3 A = A cos (w t₁)

         w t₁ = cos -1 (-0.3)

         

remember that angles are in radians

        w t₁ = 1.875 rad

x = 0.3 A

        0.3 A = A cos w t₂

        w t₂ = cos -1 (0.3)

         w t₂ = 1,266 rad

         

Now let's calculate the time of a complete period

x= -A

        w t₃ = cos⁻¹ (-1)

        w t₃ = π rad

this angle for the forward movement and the same time for the return movement in the oscillation to the same point, which is the definition of period

         T = 2 t₃

         T = 2π / w     s

now we can calculate the fraction of time in the given time interval

        Δt / T = (t₁ -t₂) / T

        Δt / T = (1,875 - 1,266) / 2pi

        Δt / T = 0.0969

 

This is the fraction for when the mass is from 0 to 0.3, for regions of oscillation of greater amplitude the fraction is

         Δt'/ T = 1 - 0.0969

         Δt '/ T = 0.903

         Δt'/ T% = 90.3%

If the sun were to vanish instantly would earth immediately fly out of its orbit explain why or why not
Zanzabum
<span>Answer: No, because Einstein demonstrated that nothing can exceed the speed of light in a vacuum and for something to happen instantly over that distance would require that speed to be exceeded. If somehow the sun were to vanish, without explosive effects, an enormous gravity wave would begin travelling outward affecting the planets at the speed of light - thus taking about 8 minutes to reach earth. But that is irrelevant because the only way to remove all that matter would be total conversion of the mass to energy and that energy would totally destroy everything - after the same 8 minutes.

A 800hz tuning fork is vibrating, producing a sound wave in the air.
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

The frequency of the sound wave is 800Hz

The speed of sound in a is about 340m/s.

Velocity = frequency x wavelength

making wavelength the subject formula

wavelength = Velocity/frequency.

wavelength = 340/800

wavelength = 0.425m.

A hockey puck is sliding at a constant rate of 2m/s on a frictionless surface. How fast will the puck be moving after 10 sec
AnnyKZ [126]
2m/s because the hockey puck is traveling at a constant speed ( acceleration is 0 ). Unless something acts on the hockey puck it will travel 2 m/s forever.

Precautions to be taken for the displacement method
finlep [7]

Volume by Displacement. The displacement method (submersion, or dunking method) can be used to accurately measure the volume of the human body and other oddly shaped objects by measuring the volume of fluid displaced when the object is submerged.

The following precautions should be taken very observantly:-

The line of sight must be perpendicular to measuring scale to avoid parallax error. Formation of bubbles inside the cylinder should be completely avoided. Any bubbles within leads to wrong measurements.
