Answer:

The amplitude of the subsequent oscillations is 13.3 cm

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the block, m = 1.25 kg

spring constant, k = 17 N/m

speed of the block, v = 49 cm/s = 0.49 m/s

To determine the amplitude of the oscillation.

Apply the principle of conservation of energy;

maximum kinetic energy of the stone when hit = maximum potential energy of spring when displaced

K.E_{max} = U_{max}\\\\\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = \frac{1}{2} kA^2\\\\where;\\\\A \ is \ the \ maximum \ displacement = amplitude \\\\mv^2 = kA^2\\\\A^2 = \frac{mv^2}{k} \\\\A = \sqrt{\frac{mv^2}{k}} \\\\A =  \sqrt{\frac{1.25\  \times \ 0.49^2}{17}} \\\\A = 0.133 \ m\\\\A = 13.3 \ cm

Therefore, the amplitude of the subsequent oscillations is 13.3 cm

A beam of protons enter the electric field of magnitude E = 0.5 N/C between a pair of parallel plates. There is a magnetic field
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

0.217 m/s

Explanation:

The protons in the beam passes undeflected when the electric force is equal to the magnetic force:

qE = qvB

where

q is the proton's charge

E is the magnitude of the electric field

v is the speed of the protons

B is the magnitude of the magnetic field

Re-arranging the equation,

v=\frac{E}{B}

And by substituting

E = 0.5 N/C

B = 2.3 T

We find

v=\frac{0.5}{2.3}=0.217 m/s

The spectrum of light emitted by helium atoms is different than that emitted by hydrogen atoms because
MaRussiya [10]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

The different atoms have different quantized energy levels

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • The atoms of different elements have different energy levels because they have different nuclear charges and spins, and different numbers of electrons.
  • Each different kind of atom, like hydrogen or radon, has a distinct nuclear charge and number of electrons. This makes the potential energy function different for each atom, and therefore results in different energy levels.
  • In an emmission spectra, each bright band corresponds to a difference between energy levels within the atom.

What two forces are balanced in what we call gravitational equilibrium? What two forces are balanced in what we call gravitation
JulijaS [17]

Question:

What two forces are balanced in what we call gravitational equilibrium?

A) the electromagnetic force and gravity

B) outward pressure and the strong force

C) outward pressure and inward gravity

D) the strong force and gravity

E) the strong force and kinetic energy

Answer:

The correct answer is C) Outward Pressure and Inward gravity                                                        

Explanation:

Gravitational equilibrium is a balance between the inward pull of gravity and the outward push of internal gas pressure. It also refers to the condition of a star in which the weight of overlying layers at each point is balanced by the total pressure at that point.

As the weight increases in the lower layers of the sun, the pressure also increases to maintain this balance.   So you find that the outward push of pressure balances the inward pull of gravity thus creating an equilibrium.

Why is gravitational equilibrium important?

The simple answer is <u>balance. </u> If for instance the sun as a stable star (which has gravitational equilibrium) loses it's balance, it becomes highly unstable and prone to violent outbursts. These outbursts are caused by the very high radiation pressure at the star's upper layers, which blows significant portions of the matter at the "surface" into space during eruptions that may rage for several years. Of course such a condition is adverse to the existence and support of life.

Cheers!
