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

stich3 [128]
The back-and-forth movement of electrons is called alternating current. Electrons go back and forth, the direction of their path alternates from one direction to another.

the movement of electrons in one direction is called direct current. The electrons move in a direct, single path without changing directions.

The first law of thermodynamics relates the heat transfer into or out of a system to the change of internal and the work done on
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The heat transferred into the system is 183.5 J.

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics relates the heat transfer into or out of a system to the change of internal and the work done on the system, through the following equations.

ΔU = Q - W

where;

ΔU  is the change in internal energy

Q is the heat transfer into the system

W is the work done by the system

Given;

ΔU = 155 J

W = 28.5 J

Q = ?

155 = Q - 28.5

Q = 155 + 28.5

Q = 183.5 J

Therefore, the heat transferred into the system is 183.5 J.

Double displacement: parts of compounds switch places to form two new compounds

FYI
decomposition: a complex substance breaks down into two or more simple substances

Single displacement: a single substance replaces another substance in a compound

I need help PLEASE HEEEEEEEEELPP
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

a = (v2 - v1) / t

From A to B    (8 - 4) m/s / 1 s = 4 m / s^2

From A to D    ( 7 - 4) m/s / 5 s = .6 m / s^2

Note these equations hold for "uniform" values

They say nothing about the acceleration at intermediate points - the equation just says that his average speed increased from 4 m/s to 7 m/s during a 5 sec period

Singly charged gas ions are accelerated from rest through a voltage of 10.3 V. At what temperature (in K) will the average kinet
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Temperature of the gas molecules is 7.96 x 10⁴ K

Explanation:

Given :

Ions accelerated through voltage, V = 10.3 volts

The work done to change the position of singly charged gas ions is given by the relation :

W = q x V

Here q is charge of the ions and its value is 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C.

Average kinetic energy of gas molecules is given by the relation:

K.E. = \frac{3}{2}kT

Here T is temperature and k is Boltzmann constant and its value is 1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/K.

According to the problem, the average kinetic energy of gas is equal to the work done to move the singly charged ions, i.e. ,

K.E. = W

\frac{3}{2}kT = qV

Rearrange the above equation in terms of T :

T= \frac{2qV}{3k}

Substitute the suitable values in the above equation.

T=\frac{2\times1.6\times10^{-19}\times10.3 }{3\times1.38\times10^{-23} }

T = 7.96 x 10⁴ K
