Answer:
30.65 Kg.
Explanation:
The period of oscillation T, the spring constant k, and the mass m are related by the following equation.
[tex]T=2\pi\sqrt[]{\frac{m}{k}}[/tex]So, solving for m, we get:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{T}{2\pi}=\sqrt[]{\frac{m}{k}} \\ \frac{T^2}{4\pi^2}=\frac{m}{k} \\ \frac{T^2k}{4\pi^2}=m \\ m=\frac{T^2k}{4\pi^2} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, replacing T = 11 s and k = 10 N/m, we get:
[tex]m=\frac{(11s)^2(10\text{ N/m)}}{4\pi^2}=30.65\text{ kg}[/tex]Then, the mass of the object is 30.65 Kg.
A standing wave is produced by reflecting a wave off a wall (which acts like a fixed end). If the standing wave consists of 6 anti-nodes and 7 nodes and the wall is 12m away from the source determine the wavelength.
Answer:
4 m
Explanation:
We can represent the standing wave as follows
So, we can divide the total distance into 6 parts as follows
12 m/6 = 2 m
Then, 2 m is the distance from node to node. It means that the wavelength will be twice this distance, so
wavelength = 2 x 2m = 4m
Therefore, the wavelength is 4m

Yea I think and this the other day and
Given:
The radius of the tank is: R = 7.5 feet.
Volume rate is: dV/dt = 60 cubic feet per hour.
h = 2.8 feet.
To find:
V, R, h, dV/dt, dR/dt, dh/dt
Explanation:
The given expression for volume is:
[tex]V=\pi h^2(R-\frac{1}{3}h)[/tex]Substituting the values in the above equation, we get:
[tex]V=3.14\times2.8^2\times(7.5-\frac{1}{3}\times2.8)=161.74\text{ cubic feet}[/tex]The volume is 161.74 cubic feet.
The radius of the tank is given as: R = 7.5 feet
The height of the water in the tank is given as: h = 2.8 feet
The volume rate of water is given as: dV/dt = 60 cubic feet per hour
As the radius of the tank is constant, its derivative will be zero. Thus, dR/dt = 0.
dh/dt can be calculated by differentiating the given volume equation with respect to time as:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{dV}{dt}=\pi^2\times\frac{dh^2}{dt}\times(R-\frac{1}{3}\frac{dh}{dt}) \\ \\ \frac{dV}{dt}=\pi^2\times\frac{2dh}{dt}\times(R-\frac{1}{3}\frac{dh}{dt}) \\ \\ \frac{dV}{dt}=2\pi^2R\times\frac{dh}{dt}-\frac{2\pi^2}{3}\times(\frac{dh}{dt})^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Substituting the values in the above equation, we get:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 60=2\pi^2\times7.5\times\frac{dh}{dt}-\frac{2\pi^2}{3}\times(\frac{dh}{dt})^2 \\ \\ 60=148.044\frac{dh}{dt}-6.580(\frac{dh}{dt})^2 \\ \\ 6.580(\frac{dh}{dt})^2-148.044\frac{dh}{dt}+60=0 \end{gathered}[/tex]Solving the above quadratic equation, we get:
dh/dt = 0.412 ft/hr or dh/dt = 22.086 ft/hr.
Final answer:
V = 161.74 cubic feet
R = 7.5 feet
h = 2.5 feet
dV/dt = 60 cubic feet per hour
dR/dt = 0
dh/dt = 22.086 ft/hr or 0.412 ft/hr
A ship's wheel has a moment of inertia of 0.930 kilogram·meters squared. The inner radius of the ring is 26 centimeters, and the outer radius of the ring is 32 centimeters. Disagreeing over which way to go, the captain and the helmsman try to turn the wheel in opposite directions. The captain applies a force of 314 newtons at the inner radius, while the helmsman applies a force of 290 newtons at the outer radius. What is the magnitude of the angular acceleration of the wheel?
We can use the formula of the moment of inertia given by:
[tex]r\cdot F=I\alpha[/tex]Where:
r = Distance from the point about which the torque is being measured to the point where the force is applied
F = Force
I = Moment of inertia
α = Angular acceleration
So:
[tex]\begin{gathered} r\cdot F=(-0.26\times314+290\times0.32)=92.8-81.64=11.16 \\ I=0.930 \\ so,_{\text{ }}solve_{\text{ }}for_{\text{ }}\alpha: \\ \alpha=\frac{r\cdot F}{I} \\ \alpha=\frac{11.16}{0.930} \\ \alpha=\frac{12rad}{s^2} \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer:

Given,
The velocity of the objects, v₁=50.0 m/s and v₂=-25.0 m/s
The initial positions of the objects, x₁_₀=0.00 m and x₂_₀=500 m
The relative velocity of the objects is given by,
[tex]v=v_1-v_2[/tex]On substituting the known values,
[tex]\begin{gathered} v=50.0-(-25.0) \\ =75.0\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}[/tex]The total distance between the objects is,
[tex]\begin{gathered} d=x_{10}+x_{20} \\ =0+500 \\ =500\text{ m} \end{gathered}[/tex](a)
As the two objects are traveling towards each other in a straight line, they will intercept.
The time it takes for the objects to intercept is given by,
[tex]t=\frac{d}{v}[/tex]On substituting the know values,
[tex]\begin{gathered} t=\frac{500}{75} \\ =6.67\text{ s} \end{gathered}[/tex]As t is the time it takes for the objects to intercept, the distance covered by the objects in this time will give us the position x_f where these two objects intercept.
As object 1 starts from the origin, the distance traveled by this object is equal to x_f
The distance traveled by object 1 in that time is,
[tex]x_f=d_1=v_1t[/tex]On substituting the known values,
[tex]\begin{gathered} x_f_{}=50\times6.67 \\ =333.5m\text{ } \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus the objects will intercept at the point x_f=333.5 m from the origin.
(b)
As calculated in part a, the time it takes for the objects to intercept is t=6.67 s
Tsunami waves flood coastal and inland areas and affect coastal life. Which of these properties of tsunami waves most contributes to the flooding?

A crate is at rest on an inclined plane. As the slope increases the crate remains at rest until the incline reaches an angle of 32.7° from the horizontal. At this angle the crate begins to slidedown the ramp.Apply Newton's 1st or 2nd law to each axis of the Free body diagram.
The free body diagram of the crate can be shown as,

From the information given,
mass = 4.12
acceleration = 3.02
Net force = 4.12 x 3.02
Net force = 12.4 N

_7. What happens to the total resistance of the resistors if they are connected inparallel? A. increases C. decreases B. remains the same D. increases then decreases
In order to find what happens to the total resistance when resistors are connected in parallel, let's analyze the formula below for the total resistance between two resistors in parallel:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{RT}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}\\ \\ RT=\frac{R_1R_2}{R_1+R_2} \end{gathered}[/tex]When two resistors are in parallel, they have the same voltage.
That means more current will flow, because there will be current flowing from each resistor and the voltage is the same.
Calculating the total resistance, we will find a smaller resistance than the two resistors used, because with the same voltage, the current is greater.
Therefore the correct option is C.

Given that weight of 1 kg is equivalent to the weight of 2.2 lb.
The weight of one kg or 2.2 lbF is 9.8 N
(a)
The weight of 2.2 lbF is 9.8 N
Thus the force of 1.0 lbF is,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 1.0\text{ lbF}=\frac{1.0\text{ lbF}\times9.8\text{ N}}{2.2\text{ lbF}} \\ =4.45\text{ N} \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus the force of the weight of 1.0 lbF is 9.8 N
(b)
If the thrusters are meant to use the value in N but used it in lbF, then the trusters would have used, say, 9.8 lbF in place of 9.8 N.
The force of 9.8 lbF is greater than the force of 9.8 N. Thus the force applied to slow the craft is higher than intended.
Thus they would slow the craft more.
(c)
Yes, the failure is correctly explained by the unit mix-up. As it is explained in part b, the force applied will be higher than intended. Which is exactly the case.
Thus the failure is correctly explained by the mix-up.
You have a light spring which obeys Hooke's law. This spring stretches 3.02 cm vertically when a 2.50 kg object is suspended from it. Determine the following.(a) the force constant of the spring (in N/m)N/m(b) the distance (in cm) the spring stretches if you replace the 2.50 kg object with a 1.25 kg objectcm(c) the amount of work (in J) an external agent must do to stretch the spring 8.90 cm from its from unstretched positionJ
We are given that a spring stretches 3.02 cm vertically when a 2.5 kg object is suspended.
Part (a) To determine the constant of the spring we need first to determine the weight of the object, to do that we will use the following formula:
[tex]W=mg[/tex]Where:
[tex]\begin{gathered} m=\text{ mass} \\ g=\text{ acceleration of gravity} \end{gathered}[/tex]Now we plug in the values:
[tex]W=(2.5\operatorname{kg})(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})[/tex]Solving the operations we get:
[tex]W=24.5N[/tex]Now we use Hooke's law:
[tex]F=kx[/tex]Where:
[tex]\begin{gathered} F=\text{ force} \\ k=\text{ spring contant} \\ x=\text{ distance stretched} \end{gathered}[/tex]Now we solve for "k" by dividing both sides by "x":
[tex]\frac{F}{x}=k[/tex]Now, since the object is placed vertically this means that the only force acting on the spring in the weight of the object, therefore:
[tex]F=W[/tex]Now we plug in the known values:
[tex]\frac{24.5N}{3.02\operatorname{cm}}=k[/tex]Solving the operations we get:
[tex]8.11\frac{N}{\operatorname{cm}}=k[/tex]Since we are required to express the constant in N/m, we need to convert the centimeters into meters. To do that we will use the following conversion factor:
[tex]100\operatorname{cm}=1m[/tex]Now we multiply by the conversion factor in decimal form, placing the centimeters as numerator:
[tex]8.11\frac{N}{\operatorname{cm}}\times\frac{100\operatorname{cm}}{1m}=811.26\frac{N}{m}[/tex]Therefore, the constant of the spring is 811.26 N/m.
part (b) Now we are asked to determine the distance is an object of 1.25 kg is place. First, we determine the weight of the new object:
[tex]W=mg[/tex]Now we plug in the values:
[tex]W=(1.25\operatorname{kg})(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})=12.25N[/tex]Now we use Hooke's law, but we solve for the distance "x" by dividing both sides by the constant "k", we get:
[tex]\frac{F}{k}=x[/tex]Just as before, the only force acting is the weight, therefore, we plug in the values we got:
[tex]\frac{12.25N}{811.26\frac{N}{m}}=x[/tex]Solving the operations:
[tex]0.015m=x[/tex]Now we convert the meters into centimeters using the same conversion factor:
[tex]0.015m\times\frac{100\operatorname{cm}}{1m}=1.5\operatorname{cm}[/tex]Therefore, the new mass stretches the spring 1.5 centimeters.
Part (c) Now we are asked to determine the work that has to be done on the spring to stretch it 8.9 centimeters. To determine that we will use the following formula for the work done on a spring:
[tex]w=\frac{1}{2}kx^2[/tex]Now we replace the values:
[tex]w=\frac{1}{2}(811.26\frac{N}{m})(8.9\operatorname{cm})^2[/tex]We will first convert the 8.9 centimeters into meters:
[tex]8.9\operatorname{cm}\times\frac{1m}{100\operatorname{cm}}=0.089m[/tex]Now we replace this in the formula for the work:
[tex]w=\frac{1}{2}(811.26\frac{N}{m})(0.089m)^2[/tex]Solving the operations we get:
[tex]w=3.21J[/tex]Therefore, the work is 3.21 Joules.

In a tug-of-war two teams are pulling in opposite directions, but neither team ismoving. What do the net forces equal in this example?
so, the net forces equal zero
Explanation
Step 1
Draw the situation
Newton's first law says that if the net force on an object is zero, then that object will have zero acceleration
in this case due to neither team is moving, we can say the center point is at rest,so its acceleration is zero
According to Newton's law, as the object is at rest, the sum of the forces acting on it equals zero
so
sum of forces = 0
the forces are due to the teams pulling so,
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Force team 1 -force team 2= 0} \\ \text{if we move the second term to the rigth} \\ \text{Force team 1=Force team }2 \end{gathered}[/tex]so, the net forces equal zero
