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

Why do we see different colors of white light if white light is what is shining down from the sun?
oee [108]

Answer:Hope this helped.

Explanation:

Because each color is refracted differently, each bends at a different angle, resulting in a fanning out and separation of white light into the colors of the spectrum. Water droplets in the air can act in a manner similar to that of a prism, separating the colors of sunlight to produce a spectrum known as a rainbow.────(♥)(♥)(♥)────(♥)(♥)(♥) __ ɪƒ ƴσυ'ʀє αʟσηє,

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

a)  fr = 224.3 N , b)   fr = 224.3 N , c)   v = 198.0  m/s

Explanation:

a) For this exercise let's start by calculating the acceleration in the fall

             v² = v₀² - 2 a (y-y₀)

When it jumps the initial vertical speed is zero

             a = -v² / 2 (y-y₀)

             a = -68 2/2 (1000-2000)

             a = 2,312 m / s²

Let's use the second net law to enter the average friction force

            fr = m a

            fr = 97 2,312

            fr = 224.3 N

b) let's look for acceleration

            v² = v₀² - 2 a y

            a = (v² –v₀²) / 2 (y-y₀)

            a = (4² - 68²) / 2 (0-1000)

            a = 2,304 m / s²

            fr = m a

            fr = 97 2,304

            fr = 223.5 N

c) the speed of the wallet is searched with kinematics

           v² = v₀² - 2 g (y-y₀)

           v = √ (0-2 9.8 (0-2000))

           v = 198.0  m/s
