A frictionless cart of mass M is attached to a spring with spring constant k. When the cart is displaced 6 cm from its rest posi

tion and released, it oscillates with a period of 2 seconds.Four English majors are discussing what would happen to the period of oscillation if the cart was displaced 12 cm from its rest position instead of 6 cm and again released.With which, if any, of these students do you agree?

Answer:

Time period of horizontal Oscillation  = T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

As you can see, from the equation, Period of oscillation depends upon the mass and the spring constant. Not on the displacement.

Explanation:

Solution:

As we know that:

F = Kx

Here,

K = Spring constant

x = displacement.

First, they are displacing it with 6 cm from its rest position for which Time period of the oscillation is T = 2 seconds.

But next, they want to know the effect on the time period of the oscillation if the displacement x is doubled from 6cm to 12 cm.

First of all, let us see the equation of the time period of the oscillation.

We need to check, if time period does depend on the displacement or not.

As we know,

Time period of horizontal Oscillation  = T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

As you can see, from the equation, Period of oscillation depends upon the mass and the spring constant. Not on the displacement.

Since, K is the constant for a particular spring, we need to change the mass of the cart to change the time period.

Hence the Time period will remain same.

How does the magnitude of the electrical force between a pair of charged particles change when they are brought to half their or
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

5. Quadruple

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two charged particles is given by:

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1, q2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the charges

If the distance between the charges is reduced to half,

r' = \frac{r}{2}

So the new force will be

F'=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{(r/2)^2}=4(k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2})=4F

So, the force will quadruple.

"Which of the following statements about electrons is not true?
gogolik [260]

Answer:

B) Within an atom, an electron can have only particular energies.

Explanation:

As we know that electrons have energy but apart from electrons we know that protons and neutrons inside the nucleus of atom will also have energy in them.

rest all the statements are true as we have

A) Electrons orbit the nucleus rather like planets orbiting the Sun.

TRUE, because electrons can move in stationary orbit around the nucleus

C) Electrons can jump between energy levels in an atom only if they receive or give up an amount of energy equal to the difference in energy between the energy levels.

Difference amount of energy is lost or absorbed by the electron in form of photons

D) An electron has a negative electrical charge.

Charge of an electron is given as -1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

E) Electrons have very little mass compared to protons or neutrons

Mass of an electron is given as

m_e = 9.11 \times 10^{-31} kg

mass of proton or neutron

m_p = 1.67 \times 10^{-27} kg

If you increase the amount of spinach you eat, then you will increase the iron in your blood. What's the dependent variable?
Solnce55 [7]
The dependent variable is the iron in your blood because it depends on the amount of spinach you eat. The independent variable will be the amount of spinach you eat since it doesn’t depend on the iron for anything.

ankoles [38]

Answer:

3050.6 Litre .

Explanation:

Total time of heart beat = Total time of race  = 2 hrs , 39 minutes and 54 seconds

= 2 x 60 + 39 + 54/60 min

= 120 + 39 + .9 min

= 159.9 min

rate of heart beat = 170 per min

Total no of heart beat during race = 170 x 159.9

volume of blood per kg per beat = 2.5 mL per kg of weight

body weight  = 99 pounds = .4535 x 99  kg = 44.89 kg

volume of blood  per beat = 2.5 mL x 44.89 mL

= 112.225 mL .

Total required volume of blood =  112.225  x 170 x 159.9 mL

= 3050612 mL

= 3050.6 L.
