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.

26. An ice-skater who weighs 200 N is gliding across the ice. If the force of friction is 4 N. what is the
Scrat [10]

Answer:

0.02

Explanation:

coefficient of kinetic friction = μ

force of friction = Ff

Normal Force = FN, but

FN = -W

Ff = -μFN

so μ = Ff/FN

= 4N/200N

= 0.02.

joja [24]

Answer:17.44A

Explanation: Current density=I/Area

Area is given by 2.79mm^2=2.79×10^-6m^2

Current=I=current density ×Area=6.25×10^6 ×2.79×10^-6=17.44A
