Answer:

Explanation:

<u>Simple Harmonic Oscillator</u>

It consists of a weight attached to one end of a spring being allowed to move forth and back.

If m is the mass of the weight and k is the constant of the spring, the period of the oscillation is given by:

$\displaystyle T=2\pi {\sqrt {\frac {m}{k}}}$

If the period is known, we can find the value of the constant by solving for k:

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

Substituting the given values m=5 Kg and T=2.8 seconds:

$\displaystyle k=5 \left(\frac{2\pi}{2.8}\right)^2$

k = 25.18 N/m

Two spacecraft are both 10 million kilometers from a star. The total power output of the star is 4 x 1025 W. Spacecraft 1 has a

Ksenya-84 [330]

The concept of power is given by the relationship between intensity and area, that is to say that power is defined as

$P = A*I$

Our values are given under the condition of,

$r_1 = 18m$

$r_2 = m$

The power is proportional to the Area, and in turn, we know that the Area of a circle is the product between $\pi$ times the radius squared, therefore the power is proportional to the radius squared.

$\text{Power} \propto r^2$

For both panels we would have to

$\frac{\text{Power by panel 1}}{\text{Power by panel 2}} = \frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2}$

$\frac{P_1}{P_2} = (\frac{18}{6})^2$

$\frac{P_1}{P_2} = 9$

Therefore the correct option is option C.9

We know that the law of conservation of energy states that energy can not be created or destroyed. It only changes form. Conside

Pavel [41]

The conservation of energy always holds true even when not clearly observable in machines that are less than 100% efficient. More often than not a machine will suffer energy losses (e.g. consider for a cooling fan: friction between the rotating blades, drag resistance in the air the fan is pushing around, resistance in the wire, and heat radiating/conducting away from the circuitry).

Which of the following are thought to be rapidly rotating neutron stars with intense magnetic fields? Choose one answer.a. pulsa

frutty [35]

<h2>Answer: Pulsars</h2>

A <u>pulsar</u> is a neutron star that emits very intense electromagnetic radiation at short and periodic intervals ( rotating really fast) due to its intense magnetic field that induces this emission.

Nevertheless, it is important to note that all pulsars are neutron stars, but not all neutron stars are pulsars.

Let's clarify:

A neutron star, is the name given to the remains of a supernova. In itself it is the result of the gravitational collapse of a massive supergiant star after exhausting the fuel in its core.

Neutron stars have a small size for their very high density and they rotate at a huge speed.

However, the way to know that a pulsar is a neutron star is because of its high rotating speed.

What is the voltage, V2, in units of Volts, across resistor R2 in the circuit shown below where VS = 4V, R1 = 14 Ohms and R2 = 3

svetlana [45]

<h2>Correct answer:</h2>

$\boxed{v_{out}=2,85V}$

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

We can use voltage divider to solve this problem that is defined as the passive linear circuit producing an output voltage $v_{out}$ that is a fraction of its input voltage $v_{in}$ . So we can use the formula:

$v_{out}=\frac{R_{2}}{R_{1}+R_{2}}v_{in}, \ where \ v_{in}=v_{s}=4V \\ \\ \therefore v_{out}=\frac{35}{14+35}(4) \\ \\ \therefore v_{out}=2,85V$

You apply 10 N to a machine and the machine applies 10 N to another object. What is the mechanical advantage ? Rocket Science

Deffense [45]

Answer:

The mechanical advantage is 1.

Explanation:

Given;

input force, F₁ = 10 N

output force, F₀ = 10 N

mechanical advantage is called force ratio and it is given as;

M.A = output force / input force

M.A = 10 N / 10 N

M.A = 1

This is an ideal machine scenario.

Therefore, the mechanical advantage is 1.
