Answer:

a. an increase in the mass on the spring.

Explanation:

An increase in the mass on the spring will increase the period of an oscillating spring mass system.

Mathematically, the period of an oscillating spring mass system is given by the formula;

T = 2π √(m/k)

Where;

T is the period.

m is the mass of the spring.

k is the spring constant.

Hence, the mass of a spring is directly proportional to the period of oscillation of the spring.

This ultimately implies that, as the mass of the spring increases, the period of oscillation will increase. Similarly, the period of oscillation will decrease with an increase in the spring constant i.e there exist an inverse relationship between the period and spring constant.

Answer:

a) $\omega \approx 219.911\,\frac{rad}{s}$ , b) $\alpha = 16.916\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$ , c) $a_{t} = 1.776\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , d) $a_{n} = 5077.889\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , e) The direction of the centripetal acceleration experimented by the gum goes to the center of rotation, f) Zero, g) $v = 23.091\,\frac{m}{s}$ .

Explanation:

a) The maximum angular velocity of the fan is:

$\omega = (35\,\frac{rev}{s} )\cdot (\frac{2\pi\,rad}{1\,rev} )$

$\omega \approx 219.911\,\frac{rad}{s}$

b) The angular acceleration of the fan is:

$\alpha = \frac{\omega-\omega_{o}}{t}$

$\alpha = \frac{219.911\,\frac{rad}{s}-0\,\frac{rad}{s}}{13\,s}$

$\alpha = 16.916\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$

c) The magnitude of the tangential aceleration is:

$a_{t} = (16.916\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} )\cdot (0.105\,m)$

$a_{t} = 1.776\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

d) The magnitude of the centripetal acceleration is:

$a_{n} = (219.911\,\frac{rad}{s} )^{2}\cdot (0.105\,m)$

$a_{n} = 5077.889\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

e) The direction of the centripetal acceleration experimented by the gum goes to the center of rotation.

f) When fan is at full speed, it rotates at constant rate and, hence, there is no angular acceleration. Besides, the tangential acceleration experimented by the gum is zero.

g) The linear speed of the gum is:

$v = (219.911\,\frac{rad}{s} )\cdot (0.105\,m)$

$v = 23.091\,\frac{m}{s}$

Natalka [10]

Answer: a. 17.7 KJ/Mol

b. T=210K

Explanation:

Arsine, ash3 is a highly toxic compound used in the electronics industry for the production of semiconductors. its vapor pressure is 35 torr at – 111.95°c and 253 torr at – 83.6°c. using these data calculate.

the question isnt completely originally, but we could look at the likely derivation from the questions

(a) the standard enthalpy of vaporization

using the clausius clapeyron equation

In (PT1vap / PT2vap) = delta H (vap) / R ( (1/T1) - (1/T2) )

In (35Torr/253Torr) = delta H (vap) / 8.3145 ( (1/189.55) - (1/161.2) )

Therefore, Delta H (vap) = 17.7 KJ/Mol

b. Also the boiling point

What is the normal boiling point of arsine?

At the boiling point Pvap = atmospheric pressure = 1 atm=760 torr

substitution into the equation as stated in question 1

ln(760/253)=17700/8.314(1/189.55-1/T)

T=210K

Two capacitors, C1 and C2, give an equivalent capacitance of 9.0 pF when connected in parallel and an equivalent capacitance of

Lilit [14]

Answer:

C₁ = 3 pF

C₂ = 6 pF

Explanation:

Let the capacitance be C₁ and C₂.

For parallel combination

C₁ +C₂ = 9

For series combination

$2=\frac{C_1\times C_2}{C_1+C_2}$

$2=\frac{C_1\times C_2}{9}$

C₁ X C₂ = 18

( 9-C₂ )X C₂ = 18

C₂²- 9C₂ +18 = 0

C₂ = 6 or 3.

C₁ = 3 or 6.

C₁ = 3 pF

C₂ = 6 pF
