Answer:

The sun does not turn dark during a solar eclipse because during a solar eclipse the moon covers the sun.

Answer:

The spring constant = 104.82 N/m

The angular velocity of the bar when θ = 32° is 1.70 rad/s

Explanation:

From the diagram attached below; we use the conservation of energy to determine the spring constant by using to formula:

$T_1+V_1=T_2+V_2$

$0+0 = \frac{1}{2} k \delta^2 - \frac{mg (a+b) sin \ \theta }{2} \\ \\ k \delta^2 = mg (a+b) sin \ \theta \\ \\ k = \frac{mg(a+b) sin \ \theta }{\delta^2}$

Also;

$\delta = \sqrt{h^2 +a^2 +2ah sin \ \theta} - \sqrt{h^2 +a^2}$

Thus;

$k = \frac{mg(a+b) sin \ \theta }{( \sqrt{h^2 +a^2 +2ah sin \ \theta} - \sqrt{h^2 +a^2})^2}$

where;

$\delta$ = deflection in the spring

k = spring constant

b = remaining length in the rod

m = mass of the slender bar

g = acceleration due to gravity

$k = \frac{(1.53*9.8)(0.6+0.2) sin \ 64 }{( \sqrt{0.6^2 +0.6^2 +2*0.6*0.6 sin \ 64} - \sqrt{0.6^2 +0.6^2})^2}$

$k = 104.82\ \ N/m$

Thus; the spring constant = 104.82 N/m

The angular velocity can be calculated by also using the conservation of energy;

$T_1+V_1 = T_3 +V_3 \\ \\ 0+0 = \frac{1}{2}I_o \omega_3^2+\frac{1}{2}k \delta^2 - \frac{mg(a+b)sin \theta }{2} \\ \\ \frac{1}{2} \frac{m(a+b)^2}{3} \omega_3^2 + \frac{1}{2} k \delta^2 - \frac{mg(a+b)sin \ \theta }{2} =0$

$\frac{m(a+b)^2}{3} \omega_3^2 + k(\sqrt{h^2+a^2+2ah sin \theta } - \sqrt{h^2+a^2})^2 - mg(a+b)sin \theta = 0$

$\frac{1.53(0.6+0.6)^2}{3} \omega_3^2 + 104.82(\sqrt{0.6^2+0.6^2+2(0.6*0.6) sin 32 } - \sqrt{0.6^2+0.6^2})^2 - (1.53*9.81)(0.6+0.2)sin \ 32 = 0$

$0.7344 \omega_3^2 = 2.128$

$\omega _3 = \sqrt{\frac{2.128}{0.7344} }$

$\omega _3 =1.70 \ rad/s$

Thus, the angular velocity of the bar when θ = 32° is 1.70 rad/s

Answer:

3.1 m/s

Explanation:

The total distance she has to run is the addition of the three lengths:

47 + 63 + 76 = 186 meters.

She needs to cover it one minute (60 seconds). Therefore her speed must be:

186 m / 60 s = 3.1 m/s

What is the frequency of an electromagnetic wave that has a wavelength of 300,000 km? (the speed of light is 300,000 km/s.)?

expeople1 [14]

Frequency represents the number of complete oscillations in one second. it is measured in Hertz (Hz). Electromagnetic waves are waves which do not require a material media for transmission. They travel with a speed of light.
The speed (m/s) of a wave is given by frequency (Hz) × Wavelength (m)
Speed is 300,000 km/sec or 300,000,000 m/s and the wavelength is 300,000 km or 300,000,000 m.
Frequency = speed÷ wavelength
= 300000000 ÷ 300000000 = 1
Therefore, the frequency of the wave is 1Hz

A periodic wave with wavelength 2m has a speed of 4m/s. What is the waves frequency?.

Gekata [30.6K]

The wave frequency is 2 Hz.

What is wave frequency ?

The number of waves that pass through a fixed point in a given amount of time is referred to as the wave frequency. The hertz is the SI unit for wave frequency (Hz).

$f = v / w$
