Answer:

(a) 1.16 s

(b)0.861 Hz

Explanation:

(a) Period : The period of a simple harmonic motion is the time in seconds, required for a object undergoing oscillation to complete one cycle.

From the question,

If 1550 cycles is completed in (30×60) seconds,

1 cycle is completed in x seconds

x = 30×60/1550

x = 1.16 s

Hence the period is 1.16 seconds.

(b) Frequency : This can be defined as the number of cycles that is completed in one seconds, by an oscillating body. The S.I unit of frequency is Hertz (Hz).

Mathematically, Frequency is given as

F = 1/T ........................... Equation 1

Where F = frequency, T = period.

Given: T = 1.16 s.

Substitute into equation 1

F = 1/1.16

F = 0.862 Hz

Hence thee frequency = 0.862 Hz

When is the velocity of a mass on a spring at its maximum value?
ehidna [41]

Answer:

A.  when the mass has a displacement of zero

Explanation:

The velocity of a mass on a spring can be calculated by using the law of conservation of energy. In fact, the total energy of the mass-spring system is equal to the sum of the elastic potential energy (U) of the spring and the kinetic energy (K) of the mass:

E=U+K=\frac{1}{2}kx^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

k is the spring constant

x is the displacement of the mass with respect to the equilibrium position of the spring

m is the mass

v is the velocity of the mass

Since the total energy E must remain constant, we can notice the following:

- When the displacement is zero (x=0), the velocity must be maximum, because U=0 so K is maximum

- When the displacement is maximum, the velocity must be minimum (zero), because U is maximum and K=0

Based on these observations, we can conclude that the velocity of the mass is at its maximum value when the displacement is zero, so the correct option is A.

A 45 N girl sits on a bench 0.6 meters off the ground. How much work is done on the bench?
ycow [4]

Answer: 27 joules

Explanation:

Work is done when force is applied on the bench over a distance. it is measured in joules.

Workdone = force x distance

= 45 N x 0.6 metres

= 27 joules

Thus, 27 joules of work is done on the bench.

Waves that move the particles of the medium parallel to the direction in which the waves are traveling are called
Nikolay [14]

1. a. longitudinal waves.

There are two types of waves:

- Transverse waves: in transverse waves, the oscillations of the wave occur in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave

- Longitudinal waves: in longitudinal waves, the oscillations of the waves occur parallel to the direction in which the waves are travelling.

So, these types of waves are called longitudinal waves.


2. d. a medium

There are two types of waves:

- Electromagnetic waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of electric and magnetic field, and they can travel both in a medium and also in a vacuum (they do not need a medium to propagate)

- Mechanical waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of the particles in a medium, so they need a medium to propagate - therefore, the correct choice is d. a medium


3. a. AM/FM radio

Analogue signals consist of continuous signals, which vary in a continuous range of values. On the contrary, digital signals consist of discrete signals, which can assume only some discrete values. For AM and FM radios, signals are transmitted by using analogue signals.

Why do chillies burn even through they’re cold?
tigry1 [53]

When chilies burn in our mouths, the surrounding temperature does not affect how hot the taste of the chilli is. It is only the spiciness that we taste in our mouths. This spiciness is caused by the chemical called capsaicin. This chemical is contained in the cells of the chilli. Capsaicin irritates the cells in your mouth so that is why you feel the discomfort in your mouth.

Hope it helps :)
