It's a negative value because the negative sign on the spring's force means the force exerted opposes the spring's displacement

Explanation:

Hooke's law :

According to the Hooke's law, The force is the directly proportional to the displacement of the string.

On the other hand,

In a simple harmonic motion, The restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement and acts in the opposite direction to that of displacement.

The restoring force is defined as,

F\propto -x

F = -kx

Where,

F = restoring force

k = restoring constant

x = displacement

The negative sign shows the force opposes the string's displacement

Describe the gravity and magnetic separation technique using sand as an example​
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

Gravity separation is an industrial method of separating two components, either a suspension, or dry granular mixture where separating the components with gravity is sufficiently practical: i.e. the components of the mixture have different specific materials and Magnetic separations take advantages of natural magnetic properties between minerals in feed. The separation is between economic ore constituents, noneconomic contaminants and gangue. and saw dust can be separated by gravity separation method. The process can be used for separating insoluble substances which are heavier than liquid by allowing them to settle down on their own due to gravity. The mixture of sand and iron can be separated from each other by using a magnet. Iron gets attracted towards a magnet leaving behind the sand.

What do behaviorism and cognitive psychology have in common?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Both attempt to explain human behavior

Explanation:

Psychology is generally regarded as the science of human behavior. Behaviourism is the psychological theory which holds that behaviour can be fully understood in terms of conditioning, without actually considering thoughts or feelings. The theory holds that psychological disorders can be aptly handled by simply altering the behavioural patterns of the individual. It involves the study of stimulus and responses.

Cognitive psychology attempts to decipher what is going on in people's minds. That is, it looks at the mind as a processor of information. Hence we can define cognitive psychology as the study of the internal mental processes. This according to behaviorists, cannot be studied in measurable terms as in behaviourism (stimulus response approach) even though mental processes are known to influence human behavior significantly.

Hence, both behaviourism and cognitive psychology attempt to study human behavior from different perspectives.

A thin film of oil (n = 1.27) is located on smooth, wet pavement. When viewed from a direction perpendicular to the pavement, th
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The problem is based on interference in thin films

refractive index of water is more than given oil so there will be phase change of π at upper and lower layer of the film .

a )

for constructive interference , the condition is

2μt = nλ where t is thickness of layer , μ is refractive index , λ is wavelength and n is order of the fringe

Putting the values

2 x 1.27 t = n x 640

2 x 1.27 t =  640 ( for minimum thickness n = 1 )

t = 252 nm .

b )

2 x 1.27 t = m₁  λ₁

for destructive interference

2μt = (2m₂+1)λ₂/2

2 x 1.27 t =(2m₂+1)λ₂/2

m₁ λ₁  = (2m₂+1)λ₂/2

2m₁λ₁  = (2m₂+1)λ₂

2m₁ / (2m₂+1) = λ₂ / λ₁

2m₁ / (2m₂+1) = 548/ 640

2m₁ / (2m₂+1) = .85625

2m₁ = .85625 (2m₂+1)

This is the required relation between m₁ and m₂
