A damped harmonic oscillator consists of a mass on a spring, with a small damping force that is proportional to the speed of the

block. If the mass of the block is 320 g, the period of oscillation is 2.4 s, and the block loses 10% of its mechanical energy after one cycle, what is the damping constant?

Answer:

2.19 N/m

Explanation:

A damped harmonic oscillator is formed by a mass in the spring, and it does a harmonic simple movement. The period of it is the time that it does one cycle, and it can be calculated by:

T = 2π√(m/K)

Where T is the period, m is the mass (in kg), and K is the damping constant. So:

2.4 = 2π√(0.320/K)

√(0.320/K) = 2.4/2π

√(0.320/K) = 0.38197

(√(0.320/K))² = (0.38197)²

0.320/K = 0.1459

K = 2.19 N/m

A policeman starts giving chase 60 seconds after a stolen car zooms by at 108 km/hr. At what minimum speed should he drive if he
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

30.93 m/s

Explanation:

Given that, the speed of stolen car is,

v_{s} =108km/hr\\v_{s} =108\times \frac{5}{18}m/s\\ v_{s} =30m/s

As policeman start chasing the stolen car after 60 seconds.

Now suppose the speed of policeman car is, v_{p}

The policeman catches the stolen car at a distance of,

S=60km\\S=60000m

Now the distance covered by the policeman in time t is v_{p}\times t

And the distane cover by the thief in stolen car in time(t+60s) is v_{s}\times (t+60sec).

And these distances are equal and they are equal to 60000 m.

Therefore,

v_{p}\times t=v_{s}\times (t+60sec)=60000m

Therfore,

v_{s}\times (t+60sec)=60000m\\30m/s\times (t+60sec)=60000m\\(t+60s)=2000s\\t=1940s

Now use this value to solve for minimum speed of policeman's car.

v_{p}\times 1940=60000\\v_{p}=30.93 m/s

Therefore minimum speed of policeman's car is 30.93 m/s.

A cosmic ray proton moving toward Earth at 5.00 x 107 m/s experiences a magnetic force of 1.7 x 10-16 N. What is the strength of
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

the strength of the magnetic field is 3 x 10⁻⁵ T

Explanation:

Given;

velocity of the cosmic ray, v = 5 x 10⁷ m/s

force experienced by the ray, f = 1.7 x 10⁻¹⁶ N

angle between the ray's velocity and the magnetic field, θ = 45⁰

The strength of the magnetic field is calculated as;

F = qvB \ sin(\theta)\\\\B = \frac{F}{qv\times sin(\theta)} \\\\where;\\\\B \ is \ the \ strength \ of \ the \ magnetic \ field\\\\q \ is \ the \ charge \ of \ the \ cosmic \ ray \ proton = 1.602 \times 10^{-19} \ C\\\\B = \frac{1.7\times 10^{-16}}{(1.602 \times 10^{-19})\times (5\times 10^7) \times sin \ (45)} \\\\B = 3 \times 10^{-5} \ T

Therefore, the strength of the magnetic field is 3 x 10⁻⁵ T

If i punch my self and it will hurt am i weak or strong
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

You're strong.

Explanation:

I've been thinking of this for quite a while, and I realized that your body has a certain limit to how much pain it can take. So, punching yourself extremely hard will cause pain, because that's your body's reaction to immense pressure being put on it. But, the fact that you punched yourself so hard that it hurts, shows that you are capable of applying so much pressure; therefore, you are strong.

Which of these best explains why people on Earth cannot see the entire shape of the Milky Way
BartSMP [9]
I believe the answer is A.

Since the Earth is in the Milky Way and not outside it, we cannot see the exact shape of it. Physicists have been able to track and graph the movements of the planets accurately for thousands of years, but that does not mean we know the shape of the entire solar system.<span />
