G.P.E = weight (n) x height (m). 2 identical twins are skiing down 2 different slopes. one is 1000m high, the other is 1500 m hi

gh. the twin at 1000m weighs 150 N. the other twin weighs 100 N. which twin has the most P.E before they begin skiing?

Suppose that Joe and Jim are twins and :

________________________________

Joe :

Height = 1000 m

==》 PE = 150 × 1000

Weight = 150 N

==》 PE = 150,000 j

_________________________________

Jim :

Height = 1500 m

==》PE = 100 × 1500

Weight = 100 N

==》PE = 150,000 j

______________________________

As u can see Joe and Jim has equal PE before they begin skiing .

Coulomb's law is expressed mathematically as

nataly862011 [7]

Force between two charges =

( 1/4πε₀ ) · (Charge #1) · (Charge #2) / (Distance between them)²

in the direction away from each other.

In other words, if the force is positive, the charges are repelling.
If the force is negative, the charges are attracting.

A block of unknown mass is attached to a spring with a spring constant of 7.00 N/m 2 and undergoes simple harmonic motion with a

KatRina [158]

Answers:

a) $0.80 kg$

b) $2.12 s$

c) $1.093 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

We have the following data:

$k=7 N/m$ is the spring constant

$A=12.5 cm \frac{1 m}{100 cm}=0.125 m$ is the amplitude of oscillation

$V=32 cm/s=0.32 m/s$ is the velocity of the block when $x=\frac{A}{2}=0.0625 m$

Now let's begin with the answers:

<h3>a) Mass of the block</h3>

We can solve this by the conservation of energy principle:

$U_{o}+K_{o}=U_{f}+K_{f}$ (1)

Where:

$U_{o}=k\frac{A^{2}}{2}$ is the initial potential energy

$K_{o}=0$ is the initial kinetic energy

$U_{f}=k\frac{x^{2}}{2}$ is the final potential energy

$K_{f}=\frac{1}{2} m V^{2}$ is the final kinetic energy

Then:

$k\frac{A^{2}}{2}=k\frac{x^{2}}{2}+\frac{1}{2} m V^{2}$ (2)

Isolating $m$ :

$m=\frac{k(A^{2}-x^{2})}{V^{2}}$ (3)

$m=\frac{7 N/m((0.125 m)^{2}-(0.0625 m)^{2})}{(0.32 m/s)^{2}}$ (4)

$m=0.80 kg$ (5)

<h3>b) Period</h3>

The period $T$ is given by:

$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$ (6)

Substituting (5) in (6):

$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{0.80 kg}{7 N/m}}$ (7)

$T=2.12 s$ (8)

<h3>c) Maximum acceleration</h3>

The maximum acceleration $a_{max}$ is when the force is maximum $F_{max}$ , as well :

$F_{max}=m.a_{max}=k.x_{max}$ (9)

Being $x_{max}=A$

Hence:

$m.a_{max}=kA$ (10)

Finding $a_{max}$ :

$a_{max}=\frac{kA}{m}$ (11)

$a_{max}=\frac{(7 N/m)(0.125 m)}{0.80 kg}$ (12)

Finally:

$a_{max}=1.093 m/s^{2}$

If the wavelength is doubled what happens to the period

Temka [501]

Answer: Wave speed may equal frequency*wavelength. Yet doubling the frequency only halves the wavelength; wave speed remains the same. To change the wave speed, the medium would have to be changed. 24. What are some simple steps I can take to protect my privacy online? Many people ... So if you double the frequency and keep the speed constant, the wavelength halves to give the same speed with the doubled frequency. 3.8k views ... The period of a note is 0.3 seconds and the speed of sound in air is 340 m/s. So if you double the frequency and keep the speed constant, the wavelength halves to give the same speed with the doubled frequency. What is the period of a wave if the wavelength is 100m and the speed is 200 m/s? ... If you move towards a light source, the wavelength decreases.
