Answer:

a) 0.328 Hz b) 73 cm (0.73 m)

Explanation:

Using law of conservation of momentum:

M1U1 + M2U2 = V(M1+M2) since the mass stuck together. where M1 is the mass 20 kg travelling with the U1  speed 3m/s and M2 is the 20kg at rest with U2 = 0 and V is the final speed of the mass after collision.

substitute the values into the equation

20 × 3 + 20 ×0 = V (20+20)

V = 60 / 40 = 1.5 m/s

The period of the oscillation can be calculated with the formula:

T = 2π√ ( m/k)  where T is the period in seconds and F is the frequency of the oscillation

substitute the values into the formula

T = 2×3.142×√ (40/170) = 3.05s

T = 1/F

F = 1/T = 1/ 3.05 = 0.328Hz

b) The amplitude of the oscillation can calculated using the formula

V = x√(K/m) where x is the amplitude in cm and V is the maximum speed that caused the displacement (amplitude) x

substitute the values into the formula

1.5 = x × √ (170/40) = x × 2.062

divide both side by 2.062

x = 1.5 / 2.062 = 0.73m = 0.73 cm

What is latitude 20 degrees north and longitude 65 degrees west?
Marta_Voda [28]
<span>The latitude 20 degrees north and longitude 65 degrees west is in the Atlantic Ocean, north of Puerto. The north coast region of Puerto Rico named "Porta Atlantico" faces the dark blue Atlantic Ocean. On the off chance that you long for unwinding on a tranquil shoreline, losing all sense of direction in the magnificence of waves smashing, and being calmed by their song, you might need to remain on the north drift, lease an auto and investigate.</span>

Use the Bohr model to address this question. When a hydrogen atom makes a transition from the 5 th energy level to the 2nd, coun
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

A. 2.82 eV

B. 439nm

C. 59.5 angstroms

Explanation:

A. To calculate the energy of the photon emitted you use the following formula:

E_{n1,n2}=-13.4(\frac{1}{n_2^2}-\frac{1}{n_1^2})     (1)

n1: final state = 5

n2: initial state = 2

Where the energy is electron volts. You replace the values of n1 and n2 in the equation (1):

E_{5,2}=-13.6(\frac{1}{5^2}-\frac{1}{2^2})=2.82eV

B. The energy of the emitted photon is given by the following formula:

E=h\frac{c}{\lambda}   (2)

h: Planck's constant = 6.62*10^{-34} kgm^2/s

c: speed of light = 3*10^8 m/s

λ: wavelength of the photon

You first convert the energy from eV to J:

2.82eV*\frac{1J}{6.242*10^{18}eV}=4.517*10^{-19}J

Next, you use the equation (2) and solve for λ:

\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.62*10^{-34} kg m^2/s)(3*10^8m/s)}{4.517*10^{-19}J}=4.39*10^{-7}m=439*10^{-9}m=439nm

C. The radius of the orbit is given by:

r_n=n^2a_o   (3)

where ao is the Bohr's radius = 2.380 Angstroms

You use the equation (3) with n=5:

r_5=5^2(2.380)=59.5

hence, the radius of the atom in its 5-th state is 59.5 anstrongs

A weightlifter exerts an upward force on a 1000-N barbell and holds it at a height of 1 meter for 2 seconds. Approximately how m
Alex73 [517]

Amount of work done is zero and so power = 0 watts.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Power is the rate at which work is done, or W divided by delta t. Since the barbell is not moving, the weightlifter is not doing work on the barbell.Therefore, if the work done is zero, then the power is also zero.It may seem unusual that the data given in question is versatile i.e. A weightlifter exerts an upward force on a 1000-N barbell and holds it at a height of 1 meter for 2 seconds. But, still the answer is zero watts , this was a tricky question although conceptual basis of question was good! Power is dependent on amount of work done which is further related to displacement and here the net displacement is zero ! Hence, amount of work done is zero and so power = 0 watts.

andre [41]

The air inside becomes warmer, and that makes it LESS DENSE.

Less-dense air FLOATS in denser air. Since it's inside the balloon, it picks the balloon up when it floats.
