Answer:

It has no definite shape or volume and will expand indefinitely.

Explanation:

A gaseous substance has no definite shape or volume, and it will expand indefinitely. This means it will spread to fill the area in which it's contained. Steam is a common example of a gas.

A 326 g object is attached to a spring and executes simple harmonic motion with a period of 0.250 s. If the total energy of the

Answer:

a) $v_{max}=5.98\frac{m}{s}$

b) $k=205.92\frac{N}{m}$

c) $A=0.24m$

Explanation:

a) In the equilibrium position of the system, that is when the spring is not elongated, the potential energy is zero. Therefore, the total energy of the system is the maximum kinetic energy:

$E=K_{max}\\E=\frac{mv_{max}^2}{2}\\v_{max}=\sqrt{\frac{2E}{m}}\\v_{max}=\sqrt{\frac{2(5.83J)}{0.326kg}}\\v_{max}=5.98\frac{m}{s}$

b) The force constant of the spring can be calculated from the natural frequency of the system:

$\omega^2=\frac{k}{m}\\k=m\omega^2$

Recall that $\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}\\$ , that is the distance traveled in one revolution divided into the time of one revolution. Replacing and solving for k:

$k=\frac{m4\pi^2}{T^2}\\k=\frac{(0.326kg)4\pi^2}{(0.25s)^2}\\k=205.92\frac{N}{m}$

c) The maximum speed is directly proportional to the amplitude of the motion:

$v_{max}=A\omega\\A=\frac{v_{max}}{\omega}\\A=\frac{(v_{max})T}{2\pi}\\A=\frac{(5.98\frac{m}{s})0.25s}{2\pi}\\A=0.24m$

For study, the Earth can be divided into three parts:

erica [24]

The three parts of the Earth are Atmosphere, Hydrosphere and Lithosphere.

Atmosphere is the blanket of air that surrounds the earth. It is densest close to the surface and thins out as one moves higher. Atmosphere of Earth contains mainly Nitrogen, followed by Oxygen and small amounts of water vapor, Carbondioxide and other gases.

Lithosphere is the outer most part of the earth's surface. The Earth's crust and the mantle form Lithosphere.

Hydrosphere is the part of the Earth that has water. The Oceans, seas, rivers, lakes and other water bodies constitute the Hydrosphere.

Stratosphere, Mesosphere and Ionosphere are different layers of atmosphere.

Hence, for the study of the Earth, one needs to consider earth to be made of three parts- atmosphere, Lithosphere and Hydrosphere.

Hi there!

We can use the conservation of angular momentum to solve.

$L_i = L_f\\\\I\omega_i = I\omega_f$
