Explanation:

It is given that,

Spring constant of the spring, k = 15 N/m

Amplitude of the oscillation, A = 7.5 cm = 0.075 m

Number of oscillations, N = 31

Time, t = 15 s

(a) Let m is the mass of the ball. The frequency of oscillation of the spring is given by :

$f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}$

Total number of oscillation per unit time is called frequency of oscillation. Here, $f=\dfrac{31}{15}=2.06\ Hz$

$m=\dfrac{k}{4\pi^2f^2}$

$m=\dfrac{15}{4\pi^2\times 2.06^2}$

m = 0.0895 kg

or

m = 89 g

(b) The maximum speed of the ball that is given by :

$v_{max}=A\times \omega$

$v_{max}=A\times 2\pi f$

$v_{max}=0.075\times 2\pi \times 2.06$

$v_{max}=0.970\ m/s$

$v_{max}=97\ cm/s$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Masses are stacked on top of the block until the top of the block is level with the waterline. This requires 20 g of mass. What

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Mass of the wooden Block is 20g.

Explanation:

The buoyant force equation will be used here

Buoyant Force= ρ*g*1/2V Here density used is of water

m*g= ρ*g*1/2V

Simplifying the above equation

2m= ρ*V Eq-1

Also we know from the question that

ρ*V = m + 0.020 Eq-2 ( Density = (Mass+20g)/Volume )

Equating Eq-1 & Eq-2 we get

2m = m+0.020

m = 0.020kg

m = 20g

You have a summer job at a company that developed systems to safely lower large loads down ramps. Your team is investigating a m

Fofino [41]

Answer:

Note that the emf induced is

emf = B d v cos (A)

---> v = emf / [B d cos (A)]

where

B = magnetic field

d = distance of two rails

v = constant speed

A = angle of rails with respect to the horizontal

Also, note that

I = emf/R

where R = resistance of the bar

Thus,

I = B d v cos (A) / R

Thus, the bar experiences a magnetic force of

F(B) = B I d = B^2 d^2 v cos (A) / R, horizontally, up the incline.

Thus, the component of this parallel to the incline is

F(B //) = F(B) cos(A) = B I d = B^2 d^2 v cos^2 (A) / R

As this is equal to the component of the weight parallel to the incline,

B^2 d^2 v cos^2 (A) / R = m g sin (A)

where m = the mass of the bar.

Solving for v,

v = [R m g sin (A) / B^2 d^2 cos^2 (A)] [ANSWER, the constant speed, PART A]

******************************

v = [R m g sin (A) / B^2 d^2 cos^2 (A)]

Plugging in the units,

m/s = [ [ohm * kg * m/s^2] / [T^2 m^2] ]

Note that T = kg / (s * C), and ohm = J * s/C^2

Thus,

m/s = [ [J * s/C^2 * kg * m/s^2] / [(kg / (s * C))^2 m^2] ]

= [ [J * s/C^2 * kg * m/s^2] / [(kg^2 m^2) / (s^2 C^2)]

As J = kg*m^2/s^2, cancelling C^2,,

= [ [kg*m^2/s^2 * s * kg * m/s^2] / [(kg^2 m^2) / (s^2)]

Cancelling kg^2,

= [ [m^2/s^2 * s * m/s^2] / [(m^2) / (s^2)]

Cancelling m^2/s^2,

= [s * m/s^2]

Cancelling s,

=m/s [DONE! WE SHOWED THE UNITS ARE CORRECT! ]

2.5 gram sample of a radioactive element was formed in a 1960 explosion of an atomic bomb at Johnson Island in the Pacific Test

kow [346]

Answer:

0.15625 grams

Explanation:

Half life: It is related to the decay of radioactive material. The duration in which half of the material will be degraded/decayed. That means after half life 50% of the radioactive material will be left. Here the half life is 28 years.

Initial quantity of the sample: 2.5 grams.

After 28 years, the leftover quantity = 1.25 grams

After 56 years, the leftover quantity = 0.625 grams

After 84 Years, the leftover quantity = 0.3125 grams

After 112 years, the leftover quantity = 0.15625 grams

The world's largest wind turbine has blades that are 80 m long and makes 1 revolution every 5.7 seconds. What is the velocity fo

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

The velocity of the blades is 88.185 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

length of the blade, r = 80 m

angular speed, ω = 1 rev per 5.7 seconds

The velocity of the blades is calculated by applying the following circular motion equation that relates linear velocity (V) and angular speed (ω);

$V = \omega r\\\\V = (\frac{1 \ rev}{5.7 \ s} \times \frac{2 \pi \ rad}{ 1 \ rev} )(80 \ m)\\\\V = 88.185 \ m/s$

Therefore, the velocity of the blades is 88.185 m/s.
