Answer:

Facts and theories are two different things. In the scientific method, there is a clear distinction between facts, which can be observed and/or measured, and theories, which are scientists' explanations and interpretations of the facts.

Two of the three tuning forks have known frequencies. When a 610 Hz fork and the unknown fork are struck together, four beats pe

RUDIKE [14]

-- In combination with 610 Hz, the beat frequency is 4 Hz.

So the unknown frequency is either (610+4) = 614 Hz
or else (610-4) = 606 Hz.

In combination with 605 Hz, the beat frequency will be
either (614-605) = 9 Hz or else (606-605) = 1 Hz.

-- In actuality, when combined with the 605 Hz, the beat
frequency is too high to count accurately. That must be
the 9 Hz rather than the 1 Hz.

So the unknown is (605+9) = 614 Hz.

Hooke’s law states that the distance that a spring is stretched by hanging object varies directly as the mass of the object. If

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

$d_{2}$ = 33.33 cm

Explanation:

Given:

When mass, $m_{1}$ =21 kg

distance travelled is $d_{1}$ = 140 cm

When mass, $m_{2}$ =5 kg

distance travelled is $d_{2}$ = ?

Hooke's law state that within elastic limit, when an external force is applied to a body, the body gets deformed and when the force is released the gets back to its original form.

Therefore according to the question,

$\frac{d_{1}}{m_{1}}=\frac{d_{2}}{m_{2}}$

$\frac{140}{21}=\frac{d_{2}}{5}$

$d_{2}$ = 33.33 cm

Distance travelled is 33.33 cm when mass is 5 kg.

Two workers are sliding 300 kg crate across the floor. One worker pushes forward on the crate with a force of 390 N while the ot

romanna [79]

Answer:

The crate's coefficient of kinetic friction on the floor is 0.23.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the crate, m = 300 kg

One worker pushes forward on the crate with a force of 390 N while the other pulls in the same direction with a force of 320 N using a rope connected to the crate.

The crate slides with a constant speed. It means that the net force acting on it is 0. Net force acting on it is given by :

$F_1+F_2=\mu N\\\\\mu=\dfrac{F_1+F_2}{mg}\\\\\mu=\dfrac{390+320}{300\times 10}\\\\\mu=0.23$

So, the crate's coefficient of kinetic friction on the floor is 0.23.
