An infant's toy has a 120 g wooden animal hanging from a spring. If pulled down gently, the animal oscillates up and down with a

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

0.37 m

Explanation:

The angular frequency, ω, of a loaded spring is related to the period, T, by

$\omega = \dfrac{2\pi}{T}$

The maximum velocity of the oscillation occurs at the equilibrium point and is given by

$v = \omega A$

A is the amplitude or maximum displacement from the equilibrium.

$v = \dfrac{2\pi A}{T}$

From the the question, T = 0.58 and A = 25 cm = 0.25 m. Taking π as 3.142,

$v = \dfrac{2\times3.142\times0.25\text{ m}}{0.58\text{ s}} = 2.71 \text{ m/s}$

To determine the height we reached, we consider the beginning of the vertical motion as the equilibrium point with velocity, v. Since it is against gravity, acceleration of gravity is negative. At maximum height, the final velocity is 0 m/s. We use the equation

$v_f^2 = v_i^2+2ah$

$v_f$ is the final velocity, $v_i$ is the initial velocity (same as v above), a is acceleration of gravity and h is the height.

$h = \dfrac{v_f^2 - v_i^2}{2a}$

$h = \dfrac{0^2 - 2.71^2}{2\times-9.81} = 0.37 \text{ m}$

66 POINTS! Which is true about the four atoms shown in figures A, B, C, and D?

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

A and B are isotopes of one another but the same element

C and D are isotopes of one another but the same element

However, A and B have a different proton count than C and D, indicating different elements because the proton count is equivalent to the atomic number.

miskamm [114]

Answer:

W= -2.5 (p₁*0.0012) joules

Explanation:

Given that p₀= initial pressure, p₁=final pressure, Vi= initial volume=0 and Vf=final volume= 6/5 liters where p₁=p₀ then

In adiabatic compression, work done by mixture during compression is

W= $\int\limits^f_i {p} \, dV$ where f= final volume and i =initial volume, p=pressure

p can be written as p=K/V^γ where K=p₀Vi^γ =p₁Vf^γ

W= $\int\limits^f_i {K/V^} \, dV$

W= K/1-γ ( 1/Vf^γ-1 - 1/Vi^γ-1)

W=1/1-γ (p₁Vf-p₀Vi)

W= 1/1-1.40 (p₁*6/5 -p₀*0)

W= -2.5 (p₁*6/5*0.001) changing liters to m³

W= -2.5 (p₁*0.0012) joules

A housefly walking across a clean surface can accumulate a significant positive or negative charge. In one experiment, the large

nalin [4]

Answer:

1681714.28571 N/C

Yes it could exist

Explanation:

m = Mass of housefly = 12 m

q = Charge = 70 pC

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

E = Electric field

When an object accumulates charge it means that it is gaining electrons making it negatively charged. This is the concept of static electricity.

Here, the electric force and the graviational force will balance each other

$F_e=W\\\Rightarrow qE=mg\\\Rightarrow E=\frac{mg}{q}\\\Rightarrow E=\frac{12\times 10^{-6}\times 9.81}{70\times 10^{-12}}\\\Rightarrow E=1681714.28571\ N/C$

1681714.28571 N/C of electric field would be required to levitate

The direction of the electric field would be upwards vertically.

In air the critical value of electric field is $3\times 10^6\ N/C$ which is more than the critical value of electric field in air. So, the electric field can exist.
