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} }

Fifteen identical particles have various speeds: one has a speed of 2.00 m/s, two have speeds of 3.00 m/s, three have speeds 5.0
Tems11 [23]
A. Average speed is weighted mean (1 × 2 + 2 × 3 + 3 × 5 + 4 × 7 + 3 × 9 + 2 × 12.5)/15 = (2 + 6 + 15 + 28 + 27 + 25)/15 = 103/15 = 6.867 b. RMS is square root of 1/15 times sum of squares of speeds Sum of squares is 4 + 9 + 9 + 25 + 25 + 25 + 49 + 49 + 49 + 49 + 81 + 81 + 81 +156.25 + 156.25 = 848.5 
c. RMS speed = √(848.5/15) = 7.521 
Most likely the speed is the peak in the speed distribution, which is 7.

A 500 W immersion heater is placed in a pot containing 1.00 L of water at 20oC. (a) How long will the water take to rise to the
tatiyna

Answer:

96 s.

Explanation:

(a)

From the question,

Q = cm(t₂-t₁)................... Equation 1

Where Q = heat required to boil the water, c = specific heat capacity of the water, m = mass of the water, t₂ = final temperature of water, t₁ = initial temperature of water

Note: The boiling point of water = 100 °C

Given: c = 4200 J/kg.°C, t₂ = 100 °C, t₁ = 20 °C

mass of water = density×volume

m = D×v, Where D = 1000 kg/m³, v = 1.00 L = 0.001 m³

Hence, m = 1000×0.001 = 1 kg.

Substitute into equation 1

Q = 4200×1(100-20)

Q = 4200×8

Q = 33600 J.

But,

P = Q/t................... Equation 2

make t  the subject of the equation

t = Q/P................. Equation 3

Where P = power, t = time

From the question,

70 % of the available energy is absorbed by water.

P = 0.7×500 = 350 W.

Substitute into equation 2

t = 33600/350

t = 96 s.

Which is not one of the forms that energy can take?
sladkih [1.3K]
Question 1: Newtonian. It refers to work of Newton. Light, electrical and chemical energies are different forms of energy. 
Question 2: Nuclear power plants. Heat , Sunlight and energy in atoms are not nuclear energies. 
Question 3: Batteries. the other two are examples of mechanical energy. But batteries are examples for chemical energy.
