Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

A block of mass m = 0.2kg

Amplitude of oscillation A = 0.3m

Spring Constant k = 12N/m

We want to rank the period of oscillation in each case from the smallest to the largest.

Period of oscillation can be determine using

T = 2π√m/k

Where,

T is period in seconds

m is mass in kg

k is spring constant in N/m

So, the only things that affect the period is mass and the spring constant

A. Using the above information

Where m = 0.2kg and k = 12 N/m

Then, T = 2π√m/k

T = 2π√(0.2/12)

T = 2π × 0.129

Ta = 0.81 seconds

B. The amplitude is change to 1.6m, A = 1.6m

The period T for a pendulum is nearly independent of amplitude.

Since the period is independent of the amplitude, then, the period does not change

So, Tb = Ta = 0.81seconds

C. If the mass is change to 1.6kg

Now, m=1.6kg

Then, T = 2π√m/k

T = 2π√(1.6/12)

T = 2π × 0.365

Tc = 2.28 seconds

D. If the force constant is change to 30N/m

Now, k = 30

Then, T = 2π√m/k

T = 2π√(0.2/ 30)

T = 2π × 0.0816

Td = 0.513 seconds

E. The small resistive force does not affect the period

So the period remains unchanged

Ta = Te = 0.81 seconds

Ranking the periods

Tc > Ta = Tb = Te > Td

The distance between two charged objects is doubled. What happens to the electrostatic force between the two?a)It will double.b)
zzz [600]

Answer:

d) It will be cut to a fourth of the original force.

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between the charged objects is

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the charges of the two objects

r is the separation between the two objects

In this problem, the initial distance is doubled, so

r' = 2r

Therefore, the new electrostatic force will be

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{(r')^2}=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{(2r)^2}=\frac{1}{4}(k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2})=\frac{1}{4}F

So, the force will be cut to 1/4 of the original value.

Choose the 200 kg refrigerator. Set the applied force to 400 N (to the right). Be sure friction is turned off.What is the net fo
White raven [17]
So, there should be two forces acting on the refrigerator: the applied force and the friction force.

The question mentioned that the friction force was set to zero, so the only effective force now would be the applied force.

We have an applied force of 400 N to the right, this means that:
<span>The magnitude of the net force is 400, directed to the right.</span>

A charge +1.9 μC is placed at the center of the hollow spherical conductor with the inner radius 3.8 cm and outer radius 5.6 cm.
Archy [21]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to load balancing. We will begin by defining what charges are acting inside and which charges are placed outside.

PART A)

The charge of the conducting shell is distributed only on its external surface. The point charge induces a negative charge on the inner surface of the conducting shell:

Q_{int}=-Q1=-1.9*10^{-6} C. This is the total charge on the inner surface of the conducting shell.

PART B)

The positive charge (of the same value) on the external surface of the conducting shell is:

Q_{ext}=+Q_1=1.9*10^{-6} C

The driver's net load is distributed through its outer surface. When inducing the new load, the total external load will be given by,

Q_{ext, Total}=Q_2+Q_{ext}

Q_{ext, Total}=1.9+3.8

Q_{ext, Total}=5.7 \mu C

What factors affect attractive force
Inga [223]

Two Factors That Affect How Much Gravity Is on an Object. Gravity is the force that gives weight to objects and causes them to fall to the ground when dropped. Two major factors, mass and distance, affect the strength of gravitational force on an object.
