A student from Sidney, Australia compares the distance he obtained from the 1-st spark mark to the 25-th spark mark, with the si

milar result of a student who did the experiment in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Both students operated identical setups powered with 60 Hz AC, reported no missing spark marks, and achieved precision of their measurements in four significant figures. What difference in the results was found

Answer:

The difference is obviously due tithe different gravitational constants as a result of variation in radius if the earth in Maryland and sydney

So

To calculate the difference

We use

distance s = 1/2 gt²

T = time difference between first spark and 25th spark will now be

24x (1/F)

= 24/60

= 0.4 sec

Therefore differnce in reading will be 0.5 x(9.8104 - 9.7967)x 0.42

= 0.002877 units

A horizontal uniform board of weight 125N and length 4 m is supported by vertical chains at each end. A person weighing 500N sit
Misha Larkins [42]

Let's apply an equation of equilibrium to the situation: The sum of the moments about the left end of the board must equal 0.

We have three moments to add. Positive force values indicate upward direction and negative values indicate downward direction. All distances given below are measured to the right side of the left end of the board:

  1. The weight of the board, -125N, located at 2m (center of the board due to its uniform density)
  2. The tension in the right chain, +250N, located at 4m
  3. The weight of the person, -500N, located at a distance "x"

The sum of the moments must equal 0 and is given by:

ΣFx = 0

F is the magnitude of force, x = distance from the left end of the board

Plug in all of the force and distance values and solve for x:

ΣFx = 250(4) - 125(2) - 500x = 0

500x = 750

x = 1.5m

Show which of the following functional forms work or do not work as solutions to this differential equation (known as 'the wave
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

E = A cos (Bx + Ct) and E = A cos (Bx + Ct + D)

Explanation:

The wave equation is

           d²y / dx² = 1 /v²  d²y / dt²

Where v is the speed of the wave

Let's review the solutions

In this case y = E

a) E = A sin Bt

 This cannot be a solution because the part in x is missing

      dE / dx = 0

b) E = A cos (Bt + c)

There is no solution missing the Part in x

         dE / dx = 0

c) E = A x² t²

The parts are fine, but this solution is not an oscillating wave, so it is not an acceptable solution of the wave equation

d) E = A cos (Bx + Ct) and E = A cos (Bx + Ct + D)

Both are very similar

Let's make the derivatives

       dE / dx = -A B sin (Bx + Ct + D)

      d²E / dx² = -A B² cos (Bx + Ct + D)

      dE / dt = - A C sin (Bx + Ct + D)

      d²E / dt² = -A C² cos (Bx + Ct + D)

We substitute in the wave equation

      -A B² cos (Bx + Ct + D) = 1 / v² (-A C² cos (Bx + Ct + D))

       B² = 1 / v² (C²)

       v² = (C / B)²

       v = C / B

We see that the two equations can be a solution to the wave equation, the last one is the slightly more general solution

PLEASE HELP ME SOLVE THIS!! PLZ
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

1.) Time = 3.5 seconds

2.) Range = 21 m

3.) Velocity = 34.8 m/s

Explanation:

Given that the

Height h = 60 m

Initial velocity U = 6 m/s

1.) The time taken to hit the river for a single droplet of water can be achieved by using second equation of motion

h = Ut + 1/2gt^2

Let assume that the water drops from rest. Therefore, U = 0

60 = 1/2 × 9.8t^2

60 = 4.9t^2

t^2 = 60/4.9

t^2 = 12.24

t = sqrt (12.24)

t = 3.5s

2.) The range of the projectile for a single droplet of water will be calculated by using the formula

R = Ut

Range R = 6 × 3.5 = 20.99

Range = 21 m

3.) The velocity (diagonal) when it hits the water.

Using third equation of motion

V^2 = U^2 + 2gH

Substitute values into the equation

V^2 = 6^2 + 2 × 9.8 × 60

V^2 = 36 + 1176

V^2 = 1212

V = sqrt (1212)

V = 34.8 m/s

The correct answer for this question would be the first option. In a neuromuscular synapse, it is the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, which is located at the motor end plate, that breaks down the neurotransmitter released from the axon. This <span>is responsible for stimulating terminating the stimulation of the skeletal muscle cell to make it contract. Hope this answer helps. </span>

A mass on a
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

S = 2 * pi * 1 m = 6.28 m = distance traveled

V = S / T   or   T = S / V = 6.28 m / 5 m/s = 1.26 sec

This will be the time for 1 revolution or the period of the motion.
