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.

Because the block is not moving, the sum of the x components of the forces acting on the block must be zero. Find an expression

Viktor [21]

Answer:

$F_{xtotal} = F_{x} - \mu N$

Explanation:

Let the total force be F

The force that produces motion in the x direction is given as, $F_{x}$

Let the frictional force be given as:

$F_{fric} = \mu N$

Thus, the net force is given as:

$F_{xnet} = F_{x} - \mu N$

An atom with an imbalance of electrons to protons is

alexdok [17]

<h2>Answer: Ion </h2>

An ion is an atom that is electrically charged by <u>gaining or losing one or more electrons. </u>

To understand it better:

An atom has a nucleus with electrons around it and has a neutral charge. When an electron is added or detached, this atom is electrically charged, that is, it ceases to have a neutral charge and becomes an <u>ion</u>.

In this sense, there are two types of ions:

-Anions: ions negatively charged, by the gain of electrons in the atom.

-Cations: ions positively charged, by the loss of electrons in the atom.

023 (part 1 of 2) 10.0 points

Annette [7]

Answer:

Part 1

The angular speed is approximately 1.31947 rad/s

Part 2

The change in kinetic energy due to the movement is approximately 675.65 J

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The rotation rate of the merry-go-round, n = 0.21 rev/s

The mass of the man on the merry-go-round = 99 kg

The distance of the point the man stands from the axis of rotation = 2.8 m

Part 1

The angular speed, ω = 2·π·n = 2·π × 0.21 rev/s ≈ 1.31947 rad/s

The angular speed is constant through out the axis of rotation

Therefore, when the man walks to a point 0 m from the center, the angular speed ≈ 1.31947 rad/s

Part 2

Given that the kinetic energy of the merry-go-round is constant, the change in kinetic energy, for a change from a radius of of the man from 2.8 m to 0 m, is given as follows;

$\Delta KE_{rotational} = \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot I \cdot \omega ^2 = \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot m \cdot v ^2$

I = m·r²

Where;

m = The mass of the man alone = 99 kg

r = The distance of the point the man stands from the axis, r = 2.8 m

v = The tangential velocity = ω/r

ω ≈ 1.31947 rad/s

Therefore, we have;

I = 99 × 2.8² = 776.16 kg·m²

$\Delta KE_{rotational}$ = 1/2 × 776.16 kg·m² × (1.31947)² ≈ 675.65 J

What are the visible and invisible forms of moisture in the air?

Usimov [2.4K]

The invisible form is water vapor that is microscopic and found all around us. When the air is really hot you can see this water vapor above ground as if it's moving. The visible form is either water droplets that fall down as rain, or it's the clouds that are basically a form of moisture that is iced up because it's very cold so it condensed and formed a cloud.
