A 465 g block slides along a frictionless surface at a speed of 0.35 m/s. It runs into a horizontal massless spring with spring

constant 54 N/m that extends outward from a wall. It compresses the spring, then is pushed back in the opposite direction by the spring, eventually losing contact with the spring.
a) How long does the block remain in contact with the spring?
b) How would your answer change if the block's initial speed was doubled?

Answer:

a) The duration, during which the block remain in contact with the spring is 0.29 s

b) The period of the simple harmonic oscillatory motion depends only on the mass and spring constant, therefore when the speed is doubled, the duration of contact remains the same as 0.29 s.

Explanation:

Mass of the block = 465 g

Surface speed = 0.35 m/s

Spring constant , k = 54 N/m

T = 2\times \pi \times \sqrt{\frac{m}{K} } = 2\times \pi \times \sqrt{\frac{0.465}{54} }  = 0.58 s

a) Since the period for the oscillatory motion is 0.58 s, then the time when the block and spring remain in contact is T/2 = 0.29 s

b) When the speed is doubled, we have

T = 2\times \pi \times \sqrt{\frac{m}{K} }

Therefore, since T is only dependent on the mass, m and the  spring constant, K, then the time it takes when the speed is doubled remain as

T /2 = 0.29 s

Which of these instruments is listed with the wrong type of lens that it uses?
VikaD [51]

The wrong type of lens-Microscope, concave

Explanation:

A microscope Basically  uses t<u>wo convex lenses to magnify an object, or specimen.</u>

There are  2 lenses in a microscope

  1. <u>Object Lens:</u>The lens that is closer to the object
  2. <u>Eyepiece:</u>The lens that is closer to the eye

Both the object lens and the  eyepiece, is a convex lens.

A thin soap bubble of index of refraction 1.33 is viewed with light of wavelength 550.0nm and appears very bright. Predict a pos
faust18 [17]

Answer:

The possible thickness of the soap bubble = 1.034\times 10^{-7}\ m.

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Refractive index of the soap bubble, \mu=1.33.
  • Wavelength of the light taken, \lambda = 550.0\ nm = 550.0\times 10^{-9}\ m.

Let the thickness of the soap bubble be t.

It is given that the soap bubble appears very bright, it means, there is a constructive interference takes place.

For the constructive interference of light through a thin film ( soap bubble), the condition of constructive interference is given as:

2\mu t=\left ( m+\dfrac 12 \right )\lambda.

where m is the order of constructive interference.

Since the soap bubble is appearing very bright, the order should be 0, as 0^{th} order interference has maximum intensity.

Thus,

2\mu t=\left (0+\dfrac 12\right )\lambda\\t=\dfrac{\lambda}{4\mu}\\\ \ = \dfrac{550\times 10^{-9}}{4\times 1.33}\\\ \ = 1.034\times 10^{-7}\ m.

It is the possible thickness of the soap bubble.
