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

A hovering mosquito is hit by a raindrop that is 50 times as massive and falling at 8.4 m/s, a typical raindrop speed. How fast

kenny6666 [7]

The final velocity after the collision is 8.2 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum: in fact, if we consider the system to be isolated (=no external unbalanced forces), the total momentum of the raindrop+mosquito must be conserved before and after the collision.

If the collision is perfectly inelastic, moreover, the raindrop and the mosquito stick together and travel at the same velocity v after the collision.

Mathematically:

$p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v$

where:

$m_1$ is the mass of the first mosquito

$u_1 = 0$ is the initial velocity of the mosquito

$m_2 = 50 m_1$ is the mass of the raindrop

$u_2 = 8.4 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the raindrop

$v$ is the final combined velocity of the raindrop+mosquito

Re-arranging the equation and substituting, we find:

$m_1 u_1 + 50 m_1 u_2 = (m_1 + 50 m_1) v\\50 m_1 u_2 = 51 m_1 v\\50 u_2 = 51 v\\v=\frac{50}{51}u_2 = \frac{50}{51}(8.4)=8.2 m/s$

A student sits on a pivoted stool while holding a pair of weights. The stool is free to rotate about a vertical axis with neglig

Blababa [14]

Answer:

<u>Please Mark As Brainliest!!</u>

a) 4.99 rad/sec b) 6.24 rad/sec c) 7.03 J

Explanation:

a) If the student completes one turn in 1.26 sec, this is called the period of the movement.

If we take into account that the angle rotated during one turn is 2π rads, by definition of angular velocity, we can get this value as follows:

ω = Δθ / Δt = 2*π rad / 1.26 seg = 4.99 rad/sec.

b) As no external torques are acting on the system, the total angular momentum must be conserved, so we can write the following equation:

Li = Lf ⇒ I₁ * ω₁ = I₂* ω₂

So, we can solve for ω₂, as follows:

ω₂ = (I₁ * ω₁) / I₂ = 6.24 rad/sec

c) Appying the work-energy theorem, we know that the work done by the student, must be equal to the change in the kinetic energy, which in this case is only rotational, so we can write:

W = 1/2 I₂* ω₂² - 1/2 I₁ ω₁²

W =1/2 ((2.25 kg.m² * (6.24)²) (rad/sec)² - (1.8 kg.m²* (4.99)²) (rad/sec)²)

W = 7.03 J

Softa [21]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>Turning a magnet very quickly would be BEST used to create an electric current</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In Electromagnetic waves electric field produces magnetic field and vice versa. A moving magnet can produce electric current. Dynamo is the best example for it. In dynamo armature is rotated between the magnets which results in the development of electric field and hence an electric current is produced in it.

A boy throws a ball vertically up. It returns to the

NikAS [45]

Answer:

31.25 m

25m/sec

Explanation:

Given :-

Time = 5sec

V = 0 (in going up)

U = 0 (in comming down)

Find :-

H and U by which it is thrown up

Since the total time is 5 sec ,therefore half time will be taken to go up and another half will be taken to go down .

We know that ,

V = U + gt

0 = U - 10*2.5

U = 25 m/sec

Also,

V² = U² +2gs

0 = 625 - 20s

s = 625/20 = 31.25 m
