The frequency of the oscillation in hertz is calculated to be 0.00031 Hz.

The frequency of a wave is defined as the number of cycles completed per second while the period refers to the time taken to complete a cycle. The frequency is the inverse of period.

So;

Period(T) = 54 minutes or 3240 seconds

Frequency (f) = T-1 = 1/T = 1/3240 seconds = 0.00031 Hz

Accelerations are produced by equal forces or unequal forces?

sukhopar [10]

Answer: unequal forces

Explanation: in order for something to accelerate it must speed up or slow down . When unequal forces react it casuse a change in motion which is also know as acceleration .

Can someone please explain the quantum theory in simple terms

BaLLatris [955]

Quantum theory is the theoretical basis of modern physics that explains the nature and behavior of matter and energy on the atomic and subatomic level. The nature and behavior of matter and energy at that level is sometimes referred to as quantum physics and quantum mechanics.

1) 29.4 N

The force of gravity between two objects is given by:

$F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

M and m are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between the centres of mass of the two objects

In this problem, we have

$M=5.97\cdot 10^{24} kg$ (mass of the Earth)

$m=3.0 kg$ (mass of the box)

$r=R=6.37\cdot 10^6 m$ (Earth's radius, which is also the distance between the centres of mass of the two objects, since the box is located at Earth's surface)

Substituting into the equation, we find F:

$F=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.97\cdot 10^{24})(3.0)}{(6.37\cdot 10^6)^2}=29.4 N$

2) $g=9.8 m/s^2$

Let's now calculate the ratio F/m. We have:

F = 29.4 N

m = 3.0 kg

Subsituting, we find

$\frac{F}{m}=\frac{29.4}{3.0}=9.8 N/kg = 9.8 m/s^2$

This is called acceleration of gravity, and it is the acceleration at which every object falls near the Earth's surface. It is indicated with the symbol $g$ .

We can prove that this is the acceleration of the object: in fact, according to Newton's second law,

$F=ma$

where a is the acceleration of the object. Re-arranging,

$a=\frac{F}{m}$

which is exactly equal to the quantity we have calculated above.
