The frequency of a simple harmonic oscillator such as a spring-mass system is given by
where
k is the spring constant
m is the mass attached to the spring.
Re-arranging the formula, we get:
and since we know the constant of the spring:
and the frequency of oscillation:
f=1.00 Hz
we can find the value of the mass attached to it:
Answer:
A. 1.4 m/s to the left
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must use the principle of conservation of momentum. Let's define the velocity signs according to the direction, if the velocity is to the right, a positive sign will be introduced into the equation, if the velocity is to the left, a negative sign will be introduced into the equation. Two moments will be analyzed in this equation. The moment before the collision and the moment after the collision. The moment before the collision is taken to the left of the equation and the moment after the collision to the right, so we have:
where:
M = momentum [kg*m/s]
M = m*v
where:
m = mass [kg]
v = velocity [m/s]
where:
m1 = mass of the basketball = 0.5 [kg]
v1 = velocity of the basketball before the collision = 5 [m/s]
m2 = mass of the tennis ball = 0.05 [kg]
v2 = velocity of the tennis ball before the collision = - 30 [m/s]
v3 = velocity of the basketball after the collision [m/s]
v4 = velocity of the tennis ball after the collision = 34 [m/s]
Now replacing and solving:
(0.5*5) - (0.05*30) = (0.5*v3) + (0.05*34)
1 - (0.05*34) = 0.5*v3
- 0.7 = 0.5*v
v = - 1.4 [m/s]
The negative sign means that the movement is towards left
It would be a cold wave.
Ice ages occur when the temperatures are extremely cold.(long-term)
Alaska- Subartic Climate

The density of the object is the ratio of its mass and volume. From the given dimensions above, we determine the volume through the equation,
V = L x W x H
Substituting,
V = (3 cm)(2 cm)(1 cm) = 6 cm³
From the idea presented above,
d = m/V
Substituting the known values,
d = (30 g)/ (6 cm³) = 5 g/cm³
ANSWER: 5 g/cm³
