-- The lenses of eyeglasses work because of refraction.

-- A pencil standing in a half-glass of water looks broken because of refraction.

-- The lenses and mirrors in telescopes and microscopes work because of refraction.

-- When the sun is setting and it looks squashed ... shorter and wider than a true circle ... that's caused by refraction of the sunlight through Earth's atmosphere.

A mass of 0.250 kg is attached to a spring and undergoes simple harmonic oscillations with a period of 0.640 s. What is the forc
Paha777 [63]

The force constant of the spring is approximately 24.038 newtons per meter.

As we are talking about Simple Harmonic Motion. In this exercise we need to determine the Spring Constant (k), in newtons per meter, from the equation of the Period (T), in seconds, which is described below:

T = 2\pi\cdot \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } (1)

Where m is the mass of the moving element, in kilograms.

If we know that T = 0.640\,s and m = 0.250\,kg, then the spring constant of the spring is:

0.640 = 2\pi\cdot \sqrt{\frac{0.250}{k} }

\sqrt{\frac{0.250}{k} } \approx 0.102

\frac{0.250}{k} \approx 0.0104

k \approx 24.038\,\frac{N}{m}

The force constant of the spring is approximately 24.038 newtons per meter.

Earth's orbit around the Sun is slightly elliptical. Thus, Earth actually gets closer to the Sun during part of the year. What h
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

C)Earth's orbital speed is greater when it is closer to the Sun than when it is farther from the Sun.

Explanation:

We can use Kepler's 2nd law or the law of area to answer this question.

The law states that the rate of area swept out by a planet's orbit is same throughout the orbit. For the farthest point since the distance is large as compared to to the nearest point, the possibility that area swept is large. Hence, to compensate the extra swept area. the orbital speed has to decrease  at the largest point.

Hence, planet's speed is greater when it is closer to sun than the speed when it is farther.

Ann is driving down a street at 64 km/h.
aksik [14]

Answer:

13.5 m

Explanation:

First, convert km/h to m/s:

64 km/h × (1000 m / km) × (1 h / 3600 s) = 17.8 m/s

Distance = rate × time

d = 17.8 m/s × 0.761 s

d = 13.5 m

A 0.495 kg bird pushes itself upward with a 7.28 N force. Including its weight, what is the total force acting on the bird? (Uni
Effectus [21]

Answer:

8 Newton

Explanation:

Weight = force

then, given,

weight= 0.495 kg

force= 7.28 N

Now,

the total force acting on the bird = (Weight + force)N

=(0.495 + 7.28)N

=8N

hence, the total force acting on the bird is 8 N.

C. Why the unit of force is called derived unit?
AnnyKZ [126]
Mass is a base unit, acceleration is a derived unit calculated as a function of length and time which are both base units. Any unit definition that is a function of more basic units is considered a derived unit. ~Quora.com
