Answer:

276 days

Explanation:

1/4 th of the original means <u><em>2 half lives</em></u>

1 half life = 138 days

So,

2 half lives = 276 days

A 350-g mass is attached to a spring whose spring constant is 64 N/m. Its maximum acceleration is 5.3 m/s2. What is the frequenc
max2010maxim [7]

The frequency of oscillation is 2.153 Hz

What is the frequency of spring?

Spring Frequency is the natural frequency of spring with a weight at the lower end. Spring is fixed from the upper end and the lower end is free.

For the mass-spring system in this problem,

The Frequency of spring is calculated with the equation:

f = \frac{1}{2\pi } \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

Where,

f = frequency of spring

k = spring constant = 64 N/m

m = mass attached to spring = 350g = 0.350 kg

a = maximum acceleration = 5.3 m/s^2

Substituting the values in the equation,

f = \frac{1}{2\pi } \sqrt{\frac{64}{0.350} }

f = \frac{1}{2\pi } ( 13.522)

f = 2.1535 Hz

Hence,

The frequency of oscillation is 2.153 Hz

You throw a baseball (mass 0.145 kg) vertically upward. It leaves your hand moving at 12.0 m/s. Air resistance can be neglected.
Andru [333]

Answer:

The ball will have an upward velocity of 6 m/s at a height of 5.51 m.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equations of height and velocity of the ball are the following:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

v = v0 + g · t

Where:

y = height at time t.

y0 = initial height.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.81 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

v = velocity of the ball at time t.

Placing the origin at the throwing point, y0 = 0.

Let´s use the equation of velocity to obtain the time at which the velocity is 12.0 m/s / 2 = 6.00 m/s.

v = v0 + g · t

6.00 m/s = 12.0 m/s -9.81 m/s² · t

(6.00 - 12.0)m/s / -9.81 m/s² = t

t = 0.612 s

Now, let´s calculate the height of the baseball at that time:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²     (y0 = 0)

y = 12.0 m/s · 0.612 s - 1/2 · 9.81 m/s² · (0.612 s)²

y = 5.51 m

The ball will have an upward velocity of 6 m/s at a height of 5.51 m.

Have a nice day!

The molecule of magnet are independent _____________​
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

The first is the electric field, which describes the force acting on a stationary charge and gives the component of the force that is independent of motion. The magnetic field, in contrast, describes the component of the force that is proportional to both the speed and direction of charged particles.
