A 5 kg mass is oscillating on a spring with a time period of 2.8 seconds. What is the spring constant k of the spring?

Answer:

<em>k = 25.18 N/m</em>

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

An iron block of density rhoFe and of volume l 3 is immersed in a fluid of density rhofluid. The block hangs from a scale which
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

R=m*g-∀fl*g*l3

Explanation:

<em>An iron block of density rhoFe and of volume l 3 is immersed in a fluid of density rhofluid. The block hangs from a scale which reads W as the weight. The top of the block is a height h below the surface of the fluid. The correct equation for the reading of the scale is</em>

From Archimedes' principle we know that a body when immersed in a fluid, fully or partially, experiences an the upward buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. As the body is fully submerged in water, volume of water displaced  

density of iron =mass/ volume

rho=m/l3

mass=rhol3

weight fluid=rhofluid*g*Volume

weight of fluid=rhofluid*g*l3

F=∀fl*g*l3

Downward force is weight of iron

w=m*g

Reading on the spring scale

R=w-F

R=m*g-∀fl*g*l3

m=mass of iron

g=acceleration due to ravity

rhfld=density of fluid

l3=volume of fluid displaced

Suppose you are standing at the earth's geographic north magnetic pole, the place on the earth's surface that compasses point to
Brut [27]

Answer:

It would point up.

Explanation:

Since I am at the earth's geographic north magnetic pole, the place on the earth's surface that compasses point toward, the north pole of the compass would also point towards the earth's geographic north magnetic pole, since all other compasses point toward there.

Since the compass is free to swivel in any direction, the compass would point up, since it is at the earth's geographic north magnetic pole, the place on the earth's surface that compasses point toward.

So, the compass would point up.

1 7.1.2 Quiz: Electrostatics
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

charge and distance

Explanation:

The electric force between the two particles are calculated using the formular:

F = kQ₁Q₂ / d²

where:

F = force.

k= Coulomb's law constant.

Q1 and Q2 are the charges.

d= distance.

the equation above is called Coulomb's law.

It can be seen from the equation above that the electric forces between the objects are majorly affected by the substance's charges and distance.

so the correct option is charge and distance.
