Answer:

Evolution, mutation of genes

Explanation:

Evolution is the primary reason of undergo changes in speicies.There is also another reason why, which is the genetic mutation a creature has, like a toad becomes albino.

Does wind have atoms and molecules in it?

Likurg_2 [28]

<span>
Of course. Wind is air in motion, and the gases in air are composed of
all the usual familiar stuff ... atoms, molecules, mass, etc. That's how
the wind moves things ... it has momentum and kinetic energy, which
get transferred to the things that move in the wind.</span>

g A 1.5-kg mass attached to spring with a force constant of 20.0 N/m oscillates on a horizontal, frictionless track. At t = 0, t

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

(a) f = 0.58Hz

(b) vmax = 0.364m/s

(d) E = 0.1J

(e) x(t)=0.1m*cos(2π(0.58s^{-1})t)

Explanation:

(a) The frequency of the oscillation, in a spring-mass system, is calculated by using the following formula:

$f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$ (1)

k: spring constant = 20.0N/m

m: mass = 1.5kg

you replace the values of m and k for getting f:

$f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{20.0N/m}{1.5kg}}=0.58s^{-1}=0.58Hz$

The frequency of the oscillation is 0.58Hz

(b) The maximum speed is given by the following relation:

$v_{max}=\omega A=2\pi f A$ (2)

A: amplitude of the oscillations = 10.0cm = 0.10m

$v_{max}=2\pi (0.58s^{-1})(0.10m)=0.364\frac{m}{s}$

The maximum speed of the mass is 0.364 m/s.

The maximum speed occurs when the mass passes trough the equilibrium point of the oscillation.

(c) The maximum acceleration is given by the following formula:

$a_{max}=\omega^2A=(2\pi f)^2 A$

$a_{max}=(2\pi (0.58s^{-1}))(0.10m)=1.32\frac{m}{s^2}$

The maximum acceleration is 1.32 m/s^2

The maximum acceleration occurs where the elastic force is a maximum, that is, where the mass is at the maximum distance from the equilibrium point, that is, the acceleration.

(d) The total energy of the system is calculated with the maximum potential elastic energy:

$E=\frac{1}{2}kA^2=\frac{1}{2}(20.0N/m)(0.10m)^2=0.1J$

The total energy is 0.1J

(e) The displacement as a function of time is:

$x(t)=Acos(\omega t)=Acos(2\pi ft)\\\\x(t)=0.1m\ cos(2\pi(0.58s^{-1})t)$

Acid rain contributes to soil erosion. Acid rain can be caused by

elixir [45]

It can be caused by chemical reactions like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. These can rise very high in the atmosphere. They can mix in with oxygen and rain and thats where you get your acid rain from

I hope this is helpful <span />
