Answer:

i) v = 1.47 cm/s

ii) distance = 219.8 cm

iii) displacement = 28cm

Explanation:

Remember that:

The motion of the tip of the second hand is a circular motion.

For something that rotates with an angular frequency ω, and a radius R, the velocity is given by:

v = ω*R.

i) We know that the second hand of a clock does a complete rotation each 60 seconds.

Then the period is:

T = 60s

And the frequency is the inverse of the period, so:

f = 1/T

f = (1/60s)

And the angular frequency is 2*pi times the normal frequency, thus:

ω = 2*pi*f

ω = 2*pi*(1/60s)  = (2*pi/60s)

And the radius will be 14 cm, the velocity of the ant is:

v = (2*pi/60s)*14cm

if we replace pi by 3.14 we get:

v =  (2*3.14/60s)*14cm = 1.47 cm/s

ii) The distance covered by the ant in 150 seconds:

Remember that the period of the clock is T = 60s

so in 150 seconds we have:

150s/60s = 2.5 revolutions.

Then the total distance covered is 2.5 times the perimeter of a circle of radius R = 14cm, this is:

distance = (2.5)*2*pi*14cm

              = (2.5)*2*3.14*14cm = 219.8 cm

iii) We want to know the displacement, this is, the difference between the final position and the initial position.

In 150 seconds, the ant does 2.5 revolutions.

So the ant will end in the opposite side of the circle where she started (if the ant started when the second hand was at the "3", then the final position is when the second hand is at the "9").

So the displacement will be equal to twice the radius, or the diameter of the circle.

if the radius is 14cm, the diameter is:

2*14cm = 28cm

the displacement is 28cm

If two oscillators connected to speakers create frequencies of 594 hz and 600 hz, what is the beat frequency when you hear both
Annette [7]
When we have two sound waves with frequencies f1 and f2 that interfere, the beat frequency is equal to the absolute value of the difference of the two frequencies, so in our problem:
f_{beat}=f_2-f_1 = 600 Hz-594 Hz = 6Hz

A concrete block is hung from an ideal spring that has a force constant of 100 N/m . The spring stretches 0.129 m .A- What is th
madam [21]

Answer:

1.31498 kg

0.72050 s

0.72050 s

Explanation:

m = Mass of block

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

k = Spring constant = 100 N/M

x = Displacement = 0.129 m

The force balance is

mg=kx\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{kx}{g}\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{100\times 0.129}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow m=1.31498\ kg

The mass of the block is 1.31498 kg

Time period is given by

T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}\\\Rightarrow T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{1.31498}{100}}\\\Rightarrow T=0.72050\ s

The period of oscillations is 0.72050 s

The time period does not depend on the acceleration due to gravity. It varies with the mass and the spring constant.

Hence, the time period would be the same

State: the units for acceleration are?
krok68 [10]

A unit of acceleration needs a unit of length in the numerator
and a squared unit of time in the denominator.

Example:    meters / second²
                    feet / minute²
                    smoots / hour² 
                    furlongs / fortnight² .

Ideally, in order to completely describe an acceleration vector,
you also need to state a direction.

A car changes its speed by 2 meters per second each second. What is its acceleration?
KatRina [158]

Answer:

2 m/s²

Explanation:

If changes speed by 2 meters per second each second means:

2 m/s²

Because it changes constantly it veloctity.

Remember the aceleration changes the velocity.
