Answer:

The frequency of the oscillation is 2.45 Hz.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the spring, m = 0.5 kg

total mechanical energy of the spring, E = 12 J

Determine the spring constant, k as follows;

E = ¹/₂kA²

kA² = 2E

k = (2E) / (A²)

k = (2 x 12) / (0.45²)

k = 118.519 N/m

Determine the angular frequency, ω;

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } \\\\\omega =  \sqrt{\frac{118.519}{0.5} } \\\\\omega = 15.396 \ rad/s

Determine the frequency of the oscillation;

ω = 2πf

f = (ω) / (2π)

f = (15.396) / (2π)

f = 2.45 Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the oscillation is 2.45 Hz.

A ‘thermal tap’ used in a certain apparatus consists of a silica rod which
abruzzese [7]

Correct question is;

A thermal tap used in a certain apparatus consists of a silica rod which fits tightly inside an aluminium tube whose internal diameter is 8mm at 0°C.When the temperature is raised ,the fits is no longer exact. Calculate what change in temperature is necessary to produce a channel whose cross-sectional is equal to that of the tube of 1mm. (linear expansivity of silica = 8 × 10^(-6) /K and linear expansivity of aluminium = 26 × 10^(-6) /K).

Answer:

ΔT = 268.67K

Explanation:

We are given;

d1 = 8mm

d2 = 1mm

At standard temperature and pressure conditions, the temperature is 273K.

Thus; Initial temperature; T1 = 273K,

Using the combined gas law, we have;

P1×V1/T1 = P2×V2/T2

The pressure is constant and so P1 = P2. They will cancel out in the combined gas law to give:

V1/T1 = V2/T2

Now, volume of the tube is given by the formula;V = Area × height = Ah

Thus;

V1 = (πd1²/4)h

V2 = (π(d2)²/4)h

Thus;

(πd1²/4)h/T1 = (π(d2)²/4)h/T2

π, h and 4 will cancel out to give;

d1²/T1 = (d2)²/T2

T2 = ((d2)² × T1)/d1²

T2 = (1² × T1)/8²

T2 = 273/64

T2 = 4.23K

Therefore, Change in temperature is; ΔT = T2 - T1

ΔT = 273 - 4.23

ΔT = 268.67K

Thus, the temperature decreased to 268.67K

A 49 kg person is being dragged in their sleeping bag to the lake by a 593 N
crimeas [40]

Answer:

f = 485.62 N

Explanation:

Since, the bag is moving with some acceleration. Hence, the unbalanced force will be given as:

Unbalanced Force = Horizontal Component Applied Force - Frictional Force

Unbalanced Force = Fx - f

But, from Newtons Second Law of Motion:

Unbalanced Force = ma

comparing the equations:

ma = Fx - f

f = F Cos θ - ma

where,

f = frictional force  = ?

F = Applied force  = 593 N

m = mass of person = 49 kg

a = acceleration = 0.57 m/s²

θ = Angle with horizontal = 30°

Therefore,

f = (593 N)(Cos 30°) - (49 kg)(0.57 m/s²)

f = 513.55 N - 27.93 N

<u>f = 485.62 N</u>

Over a time interval of 1.99 years, the velocity of a planet orbiting a distant star reverses direction, changing from +20.7 km/
madam [21]

Answer:

(a) - 42700 m/s

(b) - 6.8 x 10^-4 m/s^2

Explanation:

initial velocity of star, u = 20.7 km/s

Final velocity of star, v = - 22 km/s

time, t = 1.99 years

Convert velocities into m/s and time into second

So, u = 20700 m / s

v = - 22000 m/s

t = 1.99 x 365.25 x 24 x 3600 = 62799624 second

(a) Change in planet's velocity = final velocity - initial velocity

  = - 22000 - 20700 = - 42700 m/s

(b) Accelerate is defined as the rate of change of velocity.

Acceleration = change in velocity / time

                     = ( - 42700 ) / (62799624) = - 6.8 x 10^-4 m/s^2
