Physics
1 answer:
qwelly [4]2 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

Amplitude, in physics, the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position. It is equal to one-half the length of the vibration path. ... Waves are generated by vibrating sources, their amplitude being proportional to the amplitude of the source.

A 800 kg safe is 2.1 m above a heavy-duty spring when the rope holding the safe breaks. The safe hits the spring and compresses
stellarik [79]

Answer:

k = 17043.5 N/m = 17.04 KN/m

Explanation:

First we need to find the force applied by safe pn the spring:

F = Weight of Safe

F = mg

where,

F = Force Applied by the safe on the spring = ?

m = mass of safe = 800 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

F = (800 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

F = 7840 N

Now, using Hooke's Law:

F = kΔx

where,

K = Spring Constant = ?

Δx = compression = 46 cm = 0.46 m

Therefore,

7840 N = k (0.46 m)

k = 7840 N/0.46 m

<u>k = 17043.5 N/m = 17.04 KN/m</u>

A rope exerts a 280 N force while pulling an 80 Kg skier upward along a hill inclined at 12o. The rope pulls parallel to the hil
user100 [1]

Answer:

The speed of the skier after moving 100 m up the slope are of V= 25.23 m/s.

Explanation:

F= 280 N

m= 80 kg

α= 12º

μ= 0.15

d= 100m

g= 9,8 m/s²

N= m*g*sin(α)

N= 163 Newtons

Fr= μ * N

Fr= 24.45 Newtons

∑F= m*a

a= (280N - 24.5N) / 80kg

a= 3.19 m/s²

d= a * t² / 2

t=√(2*d/a)

t= 7.91 sec

V= a* t

V= 3.19 m/s² * 7.91 s

V= 25.23 m/s

Is there an eclipse happening soon in England
lyudmila [28]

A solar eclipse will be visible over a wide area of the north polar region
on Friday, March 20.

England is not in the path of totality, but it's close enough so that a large
part of the sun will be covered, and it will be a spectacular sight.

For Londoners, the eclipse begins Friday morning at 8:25 AM,when the
moon just begins to eat away at the sun's edge.  It advances slowly, as more
and more of the sun disappears, and reaches maximum at 9:31 AM.  Then
the obscured part of the sun begins to shrink, and the complete disk is
restored by the end of the eclipse at 10:41AM, after a period of 2 hours
16 minutes during which part of the sun appears to be missing.

The catch in observing the eclipse is:

                       <em><u>YOU MUST NOT LOOK AT THE SUN</u></em>.

Staring at the sun for a period of time can cause permanent damage to
your vision, even though <em><u>you don't feel it while it's happening</u></em>.

This is not a useful place to try and give you complete instructions or
suggestions for observing the sun over a period of hours.  Please look
in your local newspaper, or search online for phrases like "safe eclipse
viewing".
