Answer:

If T^2 = a^3

T1^2 / T2^2 = a1^3 / a2^3

Or T2^2 = T1^2 * ( a2^3 / a1^3)

Given T1 = 1 yr and a2 / a1 = 17

Then T2^2 = 1 * 17^3

or T2 = 70 yrs

In just 0.30 s , you compress a spring (spring constant 5000 n/m ), which is initially at its equilibrium length, by 4.0 cm. par
Ierofanga [76]
The average power output is the ratio between the work done to compress the spring, W, and the time taken, t:
P= \frac{W}{t} (1)

The work done is equal to the elastic energy stored by the compressed spring:
W=U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2
where k=5000 N/m is the spring constant and x=4.0 cm=0.04 m is the compression of the spring. If we substitute the numbers, we find:
W= \frac{1}{2}(5000 N/m)(0.04 m)^2=4 J

And now we can use eq.(1) to calculate the average power output:
P= \frac{W}{t}= \frac{4 J}{0.30 s}  =13.3 W

Alice suffered a minor electrical shock as she switched on her bathroom light. She is concerned and wants to prevent it from hap
snow_tiger [21]
Get a pull chord light switch installed in her bathroom by a qualified electrician asap. Meanwhile, keep hands as dry as possible, and try not to go near that switch until it's either been properly earthed, or whatever the problem actually is, and get qualified advice on what the problem is. Don't have wet feet either, and don't stand in puddles of water whilst operating - i she has to - the switch. 250V AC mains can be lethal, and at least painful.

Rounded to the nearest whole number, how many neutrons, on average, are in an atom of osmium?
andrey2020 [161]

Answer: 114

Explanation:

The mass number of an element gives the sum of the protons and the neutrons inside the nucleus of one atom of that element, while the atomic number of an element gives the number of protons inside one atom of that element.

We can infer the number of neutrons inside one atom of Osmium from its mass number and atomic number.

The atomic number of osmium is 76, so each atom of osmium has 76 protons

The (average) mass number of osmium is 190, so each atom of osmium has (on average) 190 protons+neutrons

So, in order to find the average number of neutrons, we can subtract the atomic number from the mass number:

N=A-Z=190-76=114

En un parque de atracciones hay una montaña rusa donde los primeros 140 metros son en línea recta, si desde que el carrito esta
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Tiempo, t = 6.11 segundos.

Explanation:

Dados los siguientes datos;

Distancia = 140 m

Aceleración = 7,5 m/s²

Dado que el objeto partió del reposo, su velocidad inicial es igual a 0 m/s.

Para encontrar el tiempo, usaríamos la segunda ecuación de movimiento;

S = ut + ½at²

Dónde;

S representa el desplazamiento o la altura medida en metros.

u representa la velocidad inicial medida en metros por segundo.

t representa el tiempo medido en segundos.

a representa la aceleración medida en metros por segundo cuadrado.

Sustituyendo en la ecuación, tenemos;

140 = 0*t + ½*7.5*t²

140 = 0 + 3.75t²

140 = 3.75t²

Dividiendo ambos lados por 3,75, tenemos;

t² = 140/3.75

t = √37.33

Tiempo, t = 6.11 segundos
