Explanation:

Speed is the rate of change of distance with time. It is a scalar quantity with magnitude both no direction.

Speed = $\frac{distance}{time}$

The unit is m/s or km/hr or mile/hr

Distance covered is simply the length of the path traveled.

The unit is m or km or miles

Time taken is the duration of an event.

The unit is seconds or minutes or hour.

Answer: e. Christian Dopplerâ

Explanation:

Based on the information given, the scientist of the past that should definitely be included in the exhibit is Christian Dopplera.

He described how the frequency of sound waves and light is being affected by the relative speed of both the source and also the observer. This was referred to as the Doppler effect.

In this scenario, the Doppler effect can be used to show how the universe is expanding. Therefore, the correct option is E.

For a damped simple harmonic oscillator, the block has a mass of 1.2 kg and the spring constant is 9.8 N/m. The damping force is

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

a) t=24s

b) number of oscillations= 11

Explanation:

In case of a damped simple harmonic oscillator the equation of motion is

m(d²x/dt²)+b(dx/dt)+kx=0

Therefore on solving the above differential equation we get,

x(t)=A₀ $e^{\frac{-bt}{2m}}cos(w't+\phi)=A(t)cos(w't+\phi)$

where A(t)=A₀ $e^{\frac{-bt}{2m}}$

A₀ is the amplitude at t=0 and

$w'$ is the angular frequency of damped SHM, which is given by,

$w'=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}-\frac{b^{2}}{4m^{2}} }$

Now coming to the problem,

Given: m=1.2 kg

k=9.8 N/m

b=210 g/s= 0.21 kg/s

A₀=13 cm

a) A(t)=A₀/8

⇒A₀ $e^{\frac{-bt}{2m}}$ =A₀/8

⇒ $e^{\frac{bt}{2m}}=8$

applying logarithm on both sides

⇒ $\frac{bt}{2m}=ln(8)$

⇒ $t=\frac{2m*ln(8)}{b}$

substituting the values

$t=\frac{2*1.2*ln(8)}{0.21}=24s(approx)$

b) $w'=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}-\frac{b^{2}}{4m^{2}} }$

$w'=\sqrt{\frac{9.8}{1.2}-\frac{0.21^{2}}{4*1.2^{2}}}=2.86s^{-1}$

$T'=\frac{2\pi}{w'}$ , where $T'$ is time period of damped SHM

⇒ $T'=\frac{2\pi}{2.86}=2.2s$

let $n$ be number of oscillations made

then, $nT'=t$

⇒ $n=\frac{24}{2.2}=11(approx)$

What is epsilon zero and why does it come into use, particularly in the case of Gauss's Law?

Paha777 [63]

<span>Epsilon zero is permittivity of free space means how much air or vacuum permits electric field to travel from one charge to other.It is constant in the coulomb law. This allow Gauss's a lot easier to solve rather than using K</span>

1. why is<br> experimentation so important to science

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: to provide evidence to a theory

Explanation: Experimentation allows for multiple trials to provide evidence to a scientific theory. Without experimentation there would be no data to back up your hypothesis.
