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

A flat horizontal surface with an area of 518 cm^2 is inside a uniform electric field of 1.33 x 10^4 N/C. The angle between the
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer: 576.48 N*m^2/C

Explanation: In order to calculate the electric flux through the any surface we have to take into account the scalar product between the electric field vector and the normal vector to the surface.

So we have:

ФE= E*A= 1.33 * 10^4*0.0518* cos (33.2°)= 576.48 N*m^2/C

Anna Litical is practicing a centripetal force demonstration at home. She fills a bucket with water, ties it to a strong rope, a
dlinn [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Suppose when bucket is half full it has a mass of 2 m rotating in a circle of  radius r

When Bucket is quarter full then it has a mass of m rotating in a circle of radius r.

When an object moves in a circular path then it experiences an inward force which is given by

F_1=\frac{2mv^2}{r}

where v=velocity of bucket

Force in case 2 is given by

F_2=\frac{mv^2}{r}

Thus F_1=2F_2

therefore force required in half bucket is more than force required in quarter bucket full.
