Answer:

(d) deceased by a factor of the square root of 3.

Explanation:

The period ,mass and spring constant of a spring in simple harmonic motion is related by the formula below

T=2\pi \frac{\sqrt{m} }{k}

where:

  • T is the period
  • m is mass
  • k is spring constant

for the first instance we will be using the subscript 1,

T_{1} = 2\pi \frac{\sqrt{m} }{k} ...............................equation 1

for the second instance we will use subscript 2. The spring constant is trippled (3k) while the mass remains same.

T_{2} =2\pi \frac{\sqrt{m} }{3k} ...........................equation 2

divide equation 2 by 1

\frac{T_{2} }{T_{1}} = \frac{2\pi \frac{\sqrt{m} }{3k} }{2\pi \frac{\sqrt{m} }{k}}

\frac{T_{2} }{T_{1}} = \frac{\sqrt{m} }{3k} ÷ \frac{\sqrt{m} }{k}

\frac{T_{2} }{T_{1}} = \frac{\sqrt{m} }{3k} × \frac{\sqrt{k} }{m}

\frac{T_{2} }{T_{1}} = \frac{\sqrt{k} }{\sqrt{3k} }

\frac{T_{2} }{T_{1}= \frac{\sqrt{k} }{\sqrt{3}\sqrt{k}  }

\frac{T_{2} }{T_{1}= \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} }

If an object has a kinetic energy of 30 j and mass of 34kg how fast is the object moving ?
cricket20 [7]

Ek = (m*V^2) / 2 where m is mass and V is speed, then we can take this equation and manipulate it a little to isolate the speed.

Ek = mv^2 / 2 — multiply both sides by 2

2Ek = mv^2 — divide both sides by m

2Ek / m = V^2 — switch sides

V^2 = 2Ek / m — plug in values

V^2 = 2*30J / 34kg

V^2 = 60J/34kg

V^2 = 1.76 m/s — sqrt of both sides

V = sqrt(1.76)

V = 1.32m/s (roughly)

Explain why the life cycle of a star can be compared to the life style of a human
Vladimir79 [104]
A star is born when clouds of dust and elements are gathered together in a certain space due to gravity, more and more mass and therefore pressure builds. When the pressure becomes enough to overcome the electronic repulsive force between two hydrogen nuclei, they are forced together and massive amounts of energy are given off forming helium atoms. This energy is then used to fuse other nuclei together. This could be compared to the way human life starts, where instead of 2 nuclei joining together to start a life cycle, two gametes, or sex cells are joined together. Also at the start of both a star and persons life, we are weak and we gain strength until we reach the height of our existence, then humans slowly become less efficient at doing what they do until eventually they cannot sustain themselves any further.

Can someone help??
Paul [167]

Answer:

F = 2520 N

Explanation:

We have,

The maximum acceleration of a fist in a karate punch is 4200 m/s². The mass of the fist is 0.6 kg.

It is required to find the force that the wood place on the fist. Force is given by the product of mass and its acceleration such that,

F = ma

F=0.6\times 4200\\\\F=2520\ N

So, the force of 2520 N is acting on the wood.

A nanometer is a unit of mass, whereas a nanosecond is a unit of time. Question 1 options: True False
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

A nanometer is a unit of mass, whereas a nanosecond is a unit of time. To convert 1.3 hours to minute, you would multiply by 1 h / 60 min. Kilometer is a unit of length, whereas kilogram is a unit of mass. True.
