Answer:

There are two components for a two-dimensional coordinate system/vector.

Explanation:

For two-dimensional vectors, such as velocity, acceleraton, etc, there are two components, the x- and y-components.

These components could be rotated or translated, depending on the coordinate system.

Instead of rectangular cartesian system, the components could also be in the form of polar coordinates, such as radius and theta (angle).

For three-dimensional vectors, such as velocity in space, there are three components, in various coordinate systems.

Consider a block on a spring oscillating on a frictionless surface. The amplitude of the oscillation is 11 cm, and the speed of

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

The angular frequency of the block is ω = 5.64 rad/s

Explanation:

The speed of the block v = rω where r = amplitude of the oscillation and ω = angular frequency of the oscillation.

Now ω = v/r since v = speed of the block = 62 cm/s and r = the amplitude of the oscillation = 11 cm.

The angular frequency of the oscillation ω is

ω = v/r

ω = 62 cm/s ÷ 11 cm

ω = 5.64 rad/s

So, the angular frequency of the block is ω = 5.64 rad/s

While doing a lab, a student found the density of a piece of pure aluminum to be 2.85 g/cm3. The accepted value for the density

bezimeni [28]

The equation for percent error is

% Error = $100*|Experimental-Theoretical|/Theoretical$

Our experimental is 2.85g/cm^3 and the accepted is 2.7g/cm^3

Thus our % Error = 5.555%

What is E of a hydrogen atom in the 3p state?

notsponge [240]

Answer:

E=-1.51 eV.

$L=\hbar\sqrt{2}$

Explanation:

The nth level energy of a hydrogen atom is defined by the formula,

$E_{n}=-\frac{13.6}{n^{2} }$

Given in the question, the hydrogen atom is in the 3p state.

Then energy of n=3 state is,

$E_{n}=-\frac{13.6}{(3)^{2} }\\E_{n}=-1.51eV$

Therefore, energy of the hydrogen atom in the 3p state is -1.51 eV.

Now, the value of L can be calculated as,

$L=\hbar\sqrt{l(l+1)}$

For 3p state, l=1

$L=\hbar\sqrt{1(1+1)}\\L=\hbar\sqrt{2}$

Therefore, the value of L of a hydrogen atom in 3p state is $L=\hbar\sqrt{2}$ .

John says that the value of the function cos[ω(t + T) + ϕ], obtained one period T after time t, is greater than cos(ωt + ϕ) by 2

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

No one is right

Explanation:

John Case:

The function $cos(\omega t +\phi)$ is defined between -1 and 1, So it is not possible obtain a value $2\pi$ greater.

In addition, if you move the function cosine a T Value, and T is the Period, the function take the same value due to the cosine is a periodic function.

Larry case:

Is you have $f=1+cos(\omega t +\phi)$ , the domain of this is [0,2].

it is equivalent to adding 1 to the domain of the $f=1+cos(\omega t +\phi)$ , and its mean that the function $f=cos(\omega t +\phi)$ , in general, is not greater than $cos(\omega t +\phi)$ .
