Answer:

The period would decrease by sqrt(2)

Explanation:

The restoring force is given by,

F = -kx

According to Newton's second law of motion,

ma = -kx

ma + kx = 0

The time period is given by,

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

Where \omega is the angular velocity and it is given by,

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

Now if the spring constant is doubled then,

k_{2} = 2k

Thus,

T_{2} =\frac{2\pi }{\sqrt{\frac{2k}{m} } }

\frac{T_{2} }{T} = \frac{\frac{2\pi }{\sqrt{\frac{2k}{m} } }}{\frac{2\pi }{\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } }}

\frac{T_{2} }{T} = \sqrt{\frac{k}{2k} } = \sqrt{\frac{1}{2} }

T_{2} = \frac{T}{\sqrt{2} }

Thus, The period would decrease by sqrt(2).

Hence, option D is correct.

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

1058.78 ft/sec

Explanation:

Horizontal Component of Velocity; This is the velocity of a body that act on the horizontal axis. I.e Velocity along x-axis

The horizontal velocity of a body can be calculated as shown below.\

Vh = Vcos∅.......................... Equation 1

Where Vh = horizontal component of the velocity, V = The velocity acting between the horizontal and the vertical axis, ∅ = Angle the velocity make with the horizontal.

Given: V = 1178 ft/sec, ∅ = 26°

Substitute into equation 1

Vh = 1178cos26

Vh = 1178(0.8988)

Vh = 1058.78 ft/sec

Hence the horizontal component of the velocity = 1058.78 ft/sec

What affects sounds at their source? MENTION DOPPLER EFFECT AND VIBRATIONS
wel

Answer:

Doppler effect, the apparent difference between the frequency at which sound or light waves leave a source and that at which they reach an observer, caused by relative motion of the observer and the wave source. This phenomenon is used in astronomical measurements, in Mössbauer effect studies, and in radar and modern navigation.
