<span>Although Star Wars have been purely fictional and concerns space travel and Physics, it has some components that is possible according to our current understanding of Physics. Take for example the TIE fighters spacecrafts. It stands for Twin Ion Engine. Currently, Ion engines are being used for actual flight. </span>

Answer:

-The battery-the power source

-Closed conducting loop

Explanation:

-To produce an electric current, the following requirements must be met:

-A battery-This is the energy source than will do work on the charge thus moving from a low energy location to high energy location.

-Closed Conducting Loop-The loop is usually made of copper wires due to their high electric conductivity.

A cart with mass m vibrating at the end of a spring has an extra block added to it when its displacement is x=+A. What should th

Pavel [41]

Answer:

The block's mass should be $3m$

Explanation:

Given:

Cart with mass $m$

From the conservation of energy before mass is added,

$\frac{1}{2} mv^{2} = \frac{1}{2} kA^{2}$

Where $A =$ amplitude of spring mass system, $k =$ spring constant

$A = v\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$

Now new mass $M$ is added to the system,

$\frac{1}{2} (m +M ) v^{2} = \frac{1}{2} k A^{2}$

$A = v \sqrt{\frac{m +M }{k} }$

Here, given in question frequency is reduced to half so we can write,

$f' = \frac{f}{2}$

Where $f =$ frequency of system before mass is added, $f' =$ frequency of system after mass is added.

$\omega ' = \frac{\omega}{2}$

$\sqrt{\frac{k}{m +M} } = \frac{\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } }{2}$

$\frac{k}{m +M } = \frac{k}{4m}$

$M = 3m$

Therefore, the block's mass should be $3m$
