Why does a Tumbling Kelly toy return to its original position? (The oval shape is made out of plastic and lead at the bottom).

1 answer:

8 0

The toy has a state of stable equilibrium, in which the weighted lead has a tendency to stay at the bottom and overcome the moments that are produced in the upper parts. In other words, the oval structure allows the toy to oscillate and ensure that the weighted region is at the bottom, in its most stable position.

The denizens of a distant planet live under an atmosphere made predominantly of CO2 which is a dispersive medium while attending

LuckyWell [14K]

Since the frequency of sound in a medium is constant, therefore, the concert-goers would hear the low notes and high notes at the same time.

<h3>What is a dispersive medium?</h3>

A dispersive medium is a medium which spreads out or disperses a substance passing through it.

Since CO2 is a dispersive medium, it means sound waves passing through it would be dispersed based on wavelength.

The note of a sound depends on its frequency, the higher the frequency, the higher the note.

Frequency of sound is constant, therefore, the concert-goers would hear the low notes and high notes at the same time.

A 0.2-kg steel ball is dropped straight down onto a hard, horizontal floor and bounces straight up. The ball's speed just before

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of steel ball $m=0.2\ kg$

initial speed of ball $u=10\ m/s$

Final speed of ball $v=-10\ m/s$ (in upward direction)

Impulse imparted is given by change in the momentum of object

therefore impulse J is given by

$J=\Delta P$

$\Delta P=m(v-u)$

$\Delta P=0.2(-10-10)$

$\Delta =-4\ N-s$

so magnitude of Impulse =4 N-s

Consider the nearly circular orbit of Earth around the Sun as seen by a distant observer standing in the plane of the orbit. Wha

ikadub [295]

We have that the spring constant is mathematically given as

$k=2.37*10^{11}N/m$

Generally, the equation for angular velocity is mathematically given by

$\omega=\sqrt{k}{m}$

Where

k=spring constant

And

$\omega =\frac{2\pi}{T}$

Therefore

$\frac{2\pi}{T}=\sqrt{k}{n}$

Hence giving spring constant k

$k=m((\frac{2 \pi}{T})^2$

Generally

Mass of earth $m=5.97*10^{24}$

Period for on complete resolution of Earth around the Sun

$T=365 days$

$T=365*24*3600$

Therefore

$k=(5.97*10^{24})((\frac{2 \pi}{365*24*3600})^2$

$k=2.37*10^{11}N/m$

In conclusion

The effective spring constant of this simple harmonic motion is

$k=2.37*10^{11}N/m$

A river flows due south with a speed of 2.0 m/s. You steer a motorboat across the river; your velocity relative to the water is

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

a) 25.5°(south of east)

b) 119 s

c) 238 m

Explanation:

solution:

we have river speed $v_{r}$ =2 m/s

velocity of motorboat relative to water is $v_{m/r}$ =4.2 m/s

so speed will be:

a) $v_{m}$ = $v_{r}$ + $v_{m/r}$

solving graphically

$v_{m}=\sqrt{v^2_{r}+v^2_{m/r}}$

=4.7 m/s

Ф= $tan^{-1} (\frac{v_{r}}{v_{m/r}} )$

=25.5°(south of east)

b) time to cross the river: t= $\frac{w}{v_{m/r}}$ = $\frac{500}{4.2}$ =119 s

c) d= $v_{r}t$ =(2)(119)=238 m
