Answer:

The frequency of the swing: 1/2 Hertz

The period is: 2 Seconds

Explanation:

The time the kid takes to make a complete to-and-fro swing = 2 seconds

The period, T, is the time it takes to make one complete cycle of an oscillatory motion, therefore, we have;

The frequency, f, is the number of cycles completed each second, therefore, we have;

The time for 1 cycle = 2 seconds

2 seconds = 1 cycle

Dividing both sides by 2 gives;

2/2 seconds = 1/2 cycles

2/2 = 1

In 2/2 = 1 seconds The number of cycles completed = 1/2 cycles

Therefore, the number of cycles completed per (one) second = 1/2 cycles

Therefore the frequency of the swing, f = 1/2 cycle/seconds = 1/2 Hertz

The period, T, is the time it takes to complete one to-and-fro swing which is one cycle which is 2 seconds

Therefore, the period is 2 Seconds.

Talja [164]

Answer:

A) 5.2 x 10³ N

B) 8.8 x 10³ N

Explanation:

Part A)

$F_{g}$ = weight of the craft in downward direction = tension force in the cable when stationary = 7000 N

$T$ = Tension force in upward direction

$F_{d}$ = Drag force in upward direction = 1800 N

Force equation for the motion of craft is given as

$F_{g}$ - $F_{d}$ - $T$ = 0

7000 - 1800 - $T$ = 0

$T$ = 5200 N

$T$ = 5.2 x 10³ N

Part B)

$F_{g}$ = weight of the craft in downward direction = tension force in the cable when stationary = 7000 N

$T$ = Tension force in upward direction

$F_{d}$ = Drag force in downward direction = 1800 N

Force equation for the motion of craft is given as

$T$ - $F_{g}$ - $F_{d}$ = 0

$T$ - 7000 - 1800 = 0

$T$ = 8800 N

$T$ = 8.8 x 10³ N

(Repost) I need help with this physics question. Thanks in advance! Answer ASAP.

Kitty [74]

The time taken for the tiny saliva to travel is 0.55 second.

The horizontal distance traveled at speed of 4 m/s is 2.2 m.

The horizontal distance traveled at speed of 20 m/s is 11 m.

<h3>Time of motion of the tiny saliva</h3>

The time taken for the tiny saliva to travel is calculated as follows;

h = vt + ¹/₂gt²

where;

v is initial vertical velocity = 0
g is the acceleration due to gravity

h = 0 + ¹/₂gt²

h = ¹/₂gt²

2h = gt²

t² = 2h/g

t = √(2h/g)

Substitute the given parameters and solve for time of motion;

t = √(2 x 1.5 / 10)

t = 0.55 second

<h3>Horizontal distance traveled at speed of 4 m/s</h3>

X = Vx(t)

X = (4 m/s)(0.55)

X = 2.2 m

<h3>Horizontal distance traveled at speed of 20 m/s</h3>

X = (20)(0.55)

X = 11 m

A dockworker loading crates on a ship finds that a 21-kg crate, initially at rest on a horizontal surface, requires a 73-N horiz

Nataliya [291]

1) Static friction coefficient: 0.355

The crate is initially at rest. The crate remains at rest until the horizontal pushing force is less than the maximum static frictional force.

The maximum static frictional force is given by

$F_s = \mu_s mg$

where

$\mu_s$ is the static coefficient of friction

m = 21 kg is the mass of the crate

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

The horizontal force required to set the crate in motion is 73 N: this means that this is the value of the maximum static frictional force. So we have

$F_s=73 N$

Using this information into the previous equation, we can find the coefficient of static friction:

$\mu_s = \frac{F}{mg}=\frac{73 N}{(21 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)}=0.355$

2) Kinetic friction coefficient: 0.267

Now the crate is in motion: this means that the kinetic friction is acting on the crate, and its magnitude is

$F_k = \mu_k mg$ (1)

where

$\mu_k$ is the coefficient of kinetic friction

There is a horizontal force of

F = 55 N

pushing the crate. Moreover, the speed of the crate is constant: this means that the acceleration is zero, a = 0.

So we can write Newton's second law as

$F-F_k = ma = 0$

And by substituting (1), we can find the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction:

$F-\mu_k mg = 0\\\mu_k = \frac{F}{mg}=\frac{55 N}{(21 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)}=0.267$

How do you know when the transfer of heat (thermal energy) has ended?

lisabon 2012 [21]

The transfer of thermal energy as heat requires a difference in temperature between the two points of transfer. Heat may be transferred by means of conduction, convection, or radiation. Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy (heat in transfer) due to collisions between the molecules in the object.
