_______ are nonmetals that react with metals to form salts.

A mass M is attached to an ideal massless spring. When this system is set in motion with amplitude A, it has a period T. What is

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

The period of the motion will still be equal to T.

Explanation:

for a system with mass = M

attached to a massless spring.

If the system is set in motion with an amplitude (distance from equilibrium position) A

and has period T

The equation for the period T is given as

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{M}{k} }$

where k is the spring constant

If the amplitude is doubled, the distance from equilibrium position to the displacement is doubled.

Increasing the amplitude also increases the restoring force. An increase in the restoring force means the mass is now accelerated to cover more distance in the same period, so the restoring force cancels the effect of the increase in amplitude. Hence, increasing the amplitude has no effect on the period of the mass and spring system.

Johnson made a hole at the bottom of a plastic bottle containing water. However, he noticed that the water did not flow out from

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

a) See explanation below

b) At X.

Explanation:

Please, see the picture attached with the image of the plastic bottle for this question.

(a) Explain why the water could not flow out of the bottle.

What makes the water flow out of the botlle is the force of gravity, whic attracts the water towards the Earth.

When Johnson made a small hole at the bottom of the plastic bottle containing water, the air outside the bottle, which surrounds it and exerts a pressure all over the outer walls of the bottle, exerted a force against the small area of water "over" the hole that is in contact with the air.

Thus, this force of the air pushing upward through the wall opposed the force of gravity pulling downward making the net force zero and the water cannot fall.

(b) To make the water flow out more easily, his teacher suggested making another hole. At which position - X, Y or Z, should he make the 2nd hole in order for the water to flow out the fastest?

You must open the hole at a place where there is not water but air, such that the outer air can enter in the bottle.

That will make that the pressure in the space over the water inside the bottle be equal to the pressure outside.

The pressure of the air above the water will push it downward. Now, the force from the pressure of air inside the water, which is downward, opposes the upward force from the pressure of air around the first hole, and the net force will be downward, making the water flow out more easily.

Thus, the position where he should make the second hole in order for the water to flow fastest is at X.

If a 80kg diver jumps off of a 5 m high dive into a regulation diving pool, how much should the temperature of the pool go up?

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The answer cannot be determined.

Explanation:

The energy of the diver when he hits the pool will be equal to its potential energy $mgh$ , and for the temperature of the pool to rise up, this energy has to be converted into the heat energy of the pool.

The change in temperature ${\Delta}T$ then will be

${\Delta}T=\frac{{\Delta}Q}{mc} .$

Where m is the mass of water in the pool, c is the specific heat capacity of water, and ${\Delta}Q$ is the added heat which in this case is the energy of the diver.

Since we do not know the mass of the water in the pool, we cannot make this calculation.
