What it 1 Newton force<br>

5. A cart with one fan on It blowing to the left and carrying one block produces the x vs t graph shown If this car were carryin

kumpel [21]

Answer:

Graph C

Explanation:

With the same force and more mass, the position in time will still be parabolic

i.e. x = ½at², but the rate of acceleration will be lower so the position curve will be broader.

At what displacement of a sho is the energy half kinetic and half potential? what fraction of the total energy of a sho is kinet

expeople1 [14]

As we know that KE and PE is same at a given position

so we will have as a function of position given as

$KE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2)$

also the PE is given as function of position as

$PE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2x^2$

now it is given that

KE = PE

now we will have

$\frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2) = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2x^2$

$A^2 - x^2 = x^2$

$2x^2 = A^2$

$x = \frac{A}{\sqrt2}$

so the position is 0.707 times of amplitude when KE and PE will be same

Part b)

KE of SHO at x = A/3

we can use the formula

$KE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2)$

now to find the fraction of kinetic energy

$f = \frac{KE}{TE} = \frac{A^2 - x^2}{A^2}$

$f = \frac{A^2 - (\frac{A}{3})^2}{A^2}$

$f_k = \frac{8}{9}$

now since total energy is sum of KE and PE

so fraction of PE at the same position will be

$f_{PE} = 1 - f_k$

$f_{PE} = 1 - (8/9) = 1/9$

How do scientists use the Doppler effect to understand the universe?

professor190 [17]

There's a very subtle thing going on here, one that could blow your mind.

Wherever we look in the universe, no matter what direction we look,
we see the light from distant galaxies arriving at our telescopes with
longer wavelengths than the light SHOULD have.

The only way we know of right now that can cause light waves to get
longer after they leave the source is motion of the source away from
the observer. The lengthening of the waves on account of that motion
is called the Doppler effect. (The answer to the question is choice-c.)

But that may not be the only way that light waves can get stretched. It's
the only way we know of so far, and so we say that the distant galaxies
are all moving away from us.

From that, we say the whole universe is expanding, and that right there is
one of the strongest observations that we explain with the Big Bang theory
of creation.

Now: If ... say tomorrow ... a competent Physicist discovers another way
for light waves to get stretched after they leave the source, then the whole
"expanding universe" idea is out the window, and probably the Big Bang
theory along with it !

Now that our mind has been blown, come back down to Earth with me,
and I'll give you something else to think about:

It's true that when we look at distant galaxies, we do see their light
arriving in our telescopes with longer wavelengths than it should have.
And then we use the Doppler effect to calculate how fast that galaxy
is moving away from us. That's all true. Astronomers are doing it
every day. I mean every night.

So here's the question for you to think about ... maybe even READ about:

When the light from a distant galaxy pours into our telescope, and we
look at it, and we measure its wavelength, and we find that the wavelength
is longer than it should be ... how do we know what it should be ? ? ?
