Why is the curve between 1950 and 1980 relatively flat and centered around zero degrees difference from the baseline? (Hint: how

zimovet [89]

Look at the title of the graph, in small print under it.

Each point is "compared to 1950-1980 baseline". So the set of data for those years is being compared to itself. No wonder it matches up pretty close !

What would the velocity of an object be if it was on a 1.75m

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

T = 4 sec / 2 = 2 sec period of revolution

S = 2 pi R = 2 * pi * 1.75 m = 11 m

V = S / T = 11 m / 2 sec = 5.5 m/s speed of object

D section a only still need help on this

SIZIF [17.4K]

Acceleration means speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction. The graph doesn't show anything about direction, so we just have to examine it for speeding up or slowing down ... any change of speed.

The y-axis of this graph IS speed. So the height of a point on the line is speed. If the line is going up or down, then speed is changing.

Sections a, c, and d are all going up or down. Section b is the only one where speed is not changing. So we can't be sure about b, because we don't know if the track may be curving ... the graph can't tell us that. But a, c, and d are DEFINITELY showing acceleration.

A circuit contains two 1.5 volt battery and a bulb with a resistance of 3 ohms. Calculate the current

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

<em>The current is 1 A</em>

Explanation:

<u>Current in a Series Connection </u>

When two or more elements are connected in series, all of them have the same current, and the sum of their individual voltages is the total voltage applied to the circuit.

According to Ohm's law:

V=R.I

Where V is the voltage, R is the resistance and I is the current of a circuit.

We have a voltage of V=1.5 V + 1.5 V = 3 V and a resistance of R=3 ohms.

We can calculate the current by solving for I:

$\displaystyle I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{3}{3}=1\ A$

The current is 1 A

A block rests on a frictionless horizontal surface and is attached to a spring. When set into simple harmonic motion, the block

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

v₀ = 0.5058 m/s

Explanation:

From the question, for the block to hit the bottle, the elastic potential energy of the spring at the bottle (x = 0.08 m) should be equal to the sum of the elastic potential energy of the spring at x = 0.05 m and the kinetic energy of block at x = 0.05 m

Now, the potential energy of the block at x = 0.08 m is ½kx²

where;

k is the spring constant given by; k = ω²m

ω is the angular velocity of the oscillation

m is the mass of the block.

Thus, potential energy of the spring at the bottle(x = 0.08 m) is;

U = ½ω²m(0.08m)²

Also, potential energy of the spring at the bottle(x = 0.05 m) is;

U = ½ω²m(0.05m)²

and the kinetic energy of the block at x = 0.05 m is;

K = ½mv₀²

Thus;

½ω²m(0.08)² = ½ω²m(0.05)² + ½mv₀²

Inspecting this, ½m will cancel out to give;

ω²(0.08)² = ω²(0.05)² + v₀²

Making v₀ the subject, we have;

v₀ = ω√((0.08)² - (0.05)²)

So,

v₀ = 8.1√((0.08)² - (0.05)²)

v₀ = 0.5058 m/s
