Answer:
Why do metals conduct heat so well? The electrons in metal are delocalised electrons and are free moving electrons so when they gain energy (heat) they vibrate more quickly and can move around, this means that they can pass on the energy more quickly.
Mechanical advantage is the amount by which a machine multiplies input force. It is a measure of the force amplification using a tool or machine system.
Answer:
0.191 s
Explanation:
The distance from the center of the cube to the upper corner is r = d/√2.
When the cube is rotated an angle θ, the spring is stretched a distance of r sin θ. The new vertical distance from the center to the corner is r cos θ.
Sum of the torques:
∑τ = Iα
Fr cos θ = Iα
(k r sin θ) r cos θ = Iα
kr² sin θ cos θ = Iα
k (d²/2) sin θ cos θ = Iα
For a cube rotating about its center, I = ⅙ md².
k (d²/2) sin θ cos θ = ⅙ md² α
3k sin θ cos θ = mα
3/2 k sin(2θ) = mα
For small values of θ, sin θ ≈ θ.
3/2 k (2θ) = mα
α = (3k/m) θ
d²θ/dt² = (3k/m) θ
For this differential equation, the coefficient is the square of the angular frequency, ω².
ω² = 3k/m
ω = √(3k/m)
The period is:
T = 2π / ω
T = 2π √(m/(3k))
Given m = 2.50 kg and k = 900 N/m:
T = 2π √(2.50 kg / (3 × 900 N/m))
T = 0.191 s
The period is 0.191 seconds.
