A spring with spring constant 17.0 N/m hangs from the ceiling. A ball is suspended from the spring and allowed to come to rest.

It is then pulled down 4.00 cm and released. The ball makes 35.0 oscillations in 18.0 seconds.
1) What is its the mass of the ball?
Express your answer using two significant figures.
m = _____ g

2) What is its maximum speed?

Explanation:

Given that,

Spring constant of the spring, k = 17 N/m

It is then pulled down 4.00 cm and released, A = 4 cm = 0.04 m

The ball makes 35.0 oscillations in 18.0 seconds.

The time required to complete one oscillation is :

T=\dfrac{18}{35}=0.514\ s

Angular velocity,

\omega=\dfrac{2\pi }{T}\\\\\omega=\dfrac{2\pi }{0.514}\\\\\omega=12.22\ rad/s

(1) The relation between spring constant, angular velocity and mass is given by :

\omega^2=\dfrac{k}{m}\\\\m=\dfrac{k}{\omega^2}\\\\m=\dfrac{17}{(12.22)^2}\\\\m=0.11\ kg

(2) The maximum speed is given by :

v=A\omega\\\\v=0.04\times 12.22\\\\v=0.49\ m/s

A machinist with normal vision has a near point at 25 cm. The machinist wears eyeglasses in order to do close work. The power of
Alik [6]

Answer:

17.4 cm

Explanation:

Power of lens = +1.75 diopters

Focal length of lens

f=\frac{100}{1.75}=\frac{400}{7}

This is a convex lens as focal the diopter given is positive which makes the focal length positive. Image distance will be negative.

v = -25

\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{-25}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{\frac{400}{7}}\\\Rightarrow -\frac{1}{u}=\frac{7}{400}+\frac{1}{25}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{u}=-\frac{7}{400}-\frac{1}{25}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{u}=-0.0575\\\Rightarrow u=-17.4\ cm

∴ The new near point is 17.4 cm

A gaseous system undergoes a change in temperature and volume. What is the entropy change for a particle in this system if the f
jonny [76]

Answer:

<em>Entropy Change = 0.559 Times</em>

Explanation:

Entropy change is determined by the change in the micro-states of a system. As we know that the micro-states are the same as measure of disorderness between initial and final states, that's the the amount of change in micro-states determine how much of entropy has changed in the system.

it took 3.5 hours for a train to travel the distance between two cities at a velocity of 120 miles per hour. How many miles lie
Art [367]

Given:

Time: 3.5 hrs

Velocity: 120 miles/hr

Now Distance=  Speed × Time

Now Velocity and speed have the same magnitude. Velocity being a vector quantity has a definite direction. Whereas speed is a scalar quantity,it indicates only the magnitude an doesn't define any direction.

Hence Distance = Velocity x time

Distance = 3.5 × 120 = 420 miles

Who invented the wedge simple machine and why?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Gene Sarazen began to win tournaments in 1935 with a new club he had invented that was specialized for sand play. He is hailed as the inventor of the sand wedge.

Explanation:

A wedge is a triangular shaped tool, and is a portable inclined plane, and one of the six classical simple machines. It can be used to separate two objects or portions of an object, lift up an object, or hold an object in place. It functions by converting a force applied to its blunt end into forces perpendicular (normal) to its inclined surfaces. The mechanical advantage of a wedge is given by the ratio of the length of its slope to its width.[1][2] Although a short wedge with a wide angle may do a job faster, it requires more force than a long wedge with a narrow angle.

The force is applied on a flat, broad surface. This energy is transported to the pointy, sharp end of the wedge, hence the force is transported.

The wedge simply transports energy and collects it to the pointy end, consequently breaking the item. In this way, much pressure is put on a thin area.
