Answer:

time constant of the damping 130 seconds

Explanation:

given data

amplitude A1 = 1.6 m

time t = 1.5 min = 90 sec

amplitude A2 = 0.80 m

to find out

time constant of the damping

solution

we know here that maximum amplitude at time t is express as

A2 = A1 × ee^{\frac{-t}{b} }       .............a

here b is time constant

so b will be from equation 1

b = \frac{t}{ln(\frac{A1}{A2} )}       ............b

put here all value top find b

b = \frac{90}{ln(\frac{1.6}{0.80} )}  

b =  \frac{90}{ln(2)}

b = 129.84

so time constant of the damping 130 seconds

A piece of toast weighing 8 grams is flying through the air at 15
Ket [755]

The kinetic energy of toast is 0.06 J.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Kinetic energy is the way to determine the energy released when an object is in motion. In other times, it can be the energy required to move any object and to make it in motion.

As the mass of the toast is given as 8 g and speed is given as 15 m/s, if we ignore the friction caused by air molecules. Then the kinetic energy is the product of mass and square of velocity.

K.E. = \frac{1}{2} × mass × v²

Kinetic energy =\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{8}{1000} \times 15

Since, the weight is given in grams , it needed to be converted into kg.

Kinetic energy = 0.06 J

Thus, the kinetic energy of toast is 0.06 J.

The frequency of a wave is 200 Hz. The wavelength is 0.1 m. What is the period of the wave?
Aleks04 [339]
The formula for the period of wave is: wave period is equals to 1 over the frequency.waveperiod=\frac{1}{frequency}
To get the value of period of wave you need to divide 1 by 200 Hz. However, beforehand, you have to convert 200 Hz to cycles per second. So that would be, 200 cyles per second or 200/s.
By then, you can start the computation by dividing 1 by 200/s. Since 200/s is in fractional form, you have to find its reciprocal form and multiply it to one which would give you 1 (one) second over 200. This would then lead us to the value 0.005 seconds as the wave period.

wave period= 1/200 Hz
Convert Hz to cycles per second first
200 Hz x 1/s= 200/second
Make 200/second as your divisor, so:

wave period= 1/ 200/s

get the reciprocal form of 200/s which is s/200

then you can start the actual computation:

wave period= 1 x s divided by 200

this would give us an answer of 0.005 s.

What happens in a tug of war if the net forces are balanced and why?
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Balanced forces are responsible for unchanging motion. Balanced forces are forces where the effect of one force is cancelled out by another. A tug of war, where each team is pulling equally on the rope, is an example of balanced forces. The forces exerted on the rope are equal in size and opposite in direction.
