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.

Distanţa Buzău - Iaşi este de 72 km . Aflaţi timpul în care un autovehicul parcurge această distanţă, dacă are viteza de 72 km p
GrogVix [38]

The distance from Buzău to Iaşi is 72 km. Find out the time a vehicle travels this distance if it has a speed of 72 km per hour. Expresses the speed in the unit of measurement in SI. I give the crown! Thank you

Answer:

3600seconds

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance  = 72km

Speed  = 72km/hr

Unknown:

Time it takes for the vehicle to travel the distance  = ?

Solution:

Speed is the distance divided by time;

               Speed = \frac{distance}{time}

             time  =\frac{distance}{speed }  

 Insert the parameters;

         time  = \frac{72}{72}  = 1hr

The SI unit of time is in seconds;

3600 seconds is 1hr

The time is 3600seconds

g John is walking along a trail when he comes to the bottom of a steep cliff. Before trying to climb up it, he wonders how high
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

179.655m

Explanation:

Given

Maximum speed of the arrow v = 60m/s

Time taken to hit the top of the cliff t = 7.0s

Required

Height of the cliff H

Using the equation of motion

H = vt + 1/2gt²

Substitute into the formula:

H = 60(7) + 1/2 (-9.81)(7²) (g is negative due to upward motion of the arrow)

H = 420-4.905(49)

H = 420-240.345

H = 179.655m

Hence the cliff is 179.655m high
