Explanation:

Resonance: Resonance is the phenomenon which occurs when the applied frequency on the object is equal to its natural frequency.

In the given problem, the singing of an opera singer caused a drinking glass to shatter.

This occurs due to the phenomenon resonance. The applied frequency of the singing of an opera singer on the drinking glass matches with the natural frequency of the drinking glass. It causes a glass to shatter.

A constant force of 12N is applied for 3.0s to a body initially at rest. The final velocity of the body is 6.0ms–1. What is the

sp2606 [1]

From the question,
$u = 0m {s}^{ - 1}$
$v = 6m {s}^{ - 1}$

$t = 3s$
$F=12N$

Using Impulse, the product of the constant force, F and time t equals the product of the mass of the body and change in velocity.

$Ft =m(v-u)$

$12(3.0)=m(6.0- \: 0)$
This implies that

$36.0 = 6m$
$m = \frac{36.0}{6.0}$
$\therefore \: m = 6.0kg$

You can also use the equation of linear motion,
$v = u + at$
$6 = 0 + a(3)$
$6 = 3a$
$a = \frac{6}{3}$

$a = 2 {ms}^{ - 2}$
But
$F=ma$
$12 = m(2)$
$12 = 2m$
$\frac{12}{2} = m$
$\therefore \: m = 6kg$

A 8.34 × 103-kg lunar landing craft is about to touch down on the surface of the moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

21870.3156 N

Explanation:

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 1.6 m/s²

Equation of motion

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0^2-18.2^2}{2\times 162}\\\Rightarrow a=-1.02234\ m/s^2$

The acceleration of the craft should be 1.02234 m/s²

$F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=8.34\times 10^3\times 1.02234\\\Rightarrow F=8526.3156\ N$

Weight of the craft

$W=mg\\\Rightarrow W=8.34\times 10^3\times 1.6\\\Rightarrow W=13344\ N$

Thrust

$F_t=F+W\\\Rightarrow F_t=8526.3156+13344\\\Rightarrow F_t=21870.3156\ N$

The thrust needed to reduce the velocity to zero at the instant when the craft touches the lunar surface is 21870.3156 N

A cycle track is 500 metres long. Amy completes 10 laps. She travelled at an average speed of 12.5 metres per second. She puts o

yanalaym [24]

The fast lap is irrelevant to the question, because it didn't happen
until after the 9 laps that you're interested in.

To be perfectly technical about it, we don't actually have enough
information to answer the question. You told us her average speed
for 10 laps, but we don't know anything about how her speed may
have changed during the whole 10 laps. For all we know, maybe
she took a nap first, and then got up and drove 10 laps at the speed
of 125 metres per second. That would produce the average speed
of 12.5 metres per second and we would never know it Why not ?
That's only 280 miles per hour. Bikes can do that, can't they ?

IF we can assume that Amy maintained a totally steady pace through
the entire 10 laps, then we could say that her average for 9 laps was
also 12.5 metres per second.
