d change? That is, if the original period was T and the new period is b⁢T, what is b?

If, instead, you quadruple the spring stiffness but keep the mass the same, what is the factor b?c. If, instead, you quadruple the mass and also quadruple the spring stiffness, what is the factor b?d. If, instead, you quadruple the amplitude (keeping the original mass and spring stiffness), what is the factor b?

Answer:

a) factor $b=\sqrt{2}$

b) factor $b=\frac{1}{2}$

c) factor $b=1$

d) factor $b=1$

Explanation:

For an oscillating spring-mass system, the time period is expressed as:

$T=\frac{1}{f}$

$T={2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$

where:

$f=$ represents the frequency of oscillation

$m=$ signifies the mass linked to the spring

$k=$ is the spring's stiffness constant

a) If the mass is doubled:

New mass, $m'=2m$

Thus, the new time period:

$T'=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m'}{k} }$

$T'=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{2m}{k} }$

$T'=\sqrt{2}\times 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } }$

$T'=\sqrt{2} \times T$

this leads to factor $b=\sqrt{2}$ as per the question.

b) When the stiffness constant is quadrupled, holding other factors constant:

New stiffness constant, $k'=4k$

Thus, the new time period:

$T'=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k'} }\\\\T'=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{4k} }\\\\T'=\frac{1}{2} \times 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } }\\\\T'=\frac{1}{2} \times T$

this results in factor $b=\frac{1}{2}$ as required.

c) When both mass and stiffness constant are quadrupled:

New stiffness, $k'=4k$

New mass, $m'=4m$

Thus, the new time period:

$T'=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m'}{k'} }\\\\T'=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{4m}{4k} }\\\\T'=1 \times 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } }\\\\T'=1 \times T$

which leads to factor $b=1$ as stated in the question.

d) If amplitude is quadrupled, the time period remains unaffected because T does not depend on amplitude as demonstrated by the equation.

Thus, factor $b=1$

If a radio wave has a period of 1 μs what is the wave's period in seconds

Softa [2035]

Answer:

$10^{-6} s
$

The period of a wave is the duration it takes to complete one full oscillation, such as from one peak to the next trough.

Since the period is expressed in microseconds, it needs to be converted into seconds.

The conversion is:

$1\mu s=10^{-6} s
$

Accordingly, the wave's period in seconds is $10^{-6} s
$ .

A mechanical high-speed bat is flying along a path perpendicular to a wall. it emits a sound with a frequency f0 . the night is

inna [2210]

1. f1 = Vs + Vbat Vs fO
2. f1 = Vs Vs - Vbat fO
3. f1 = Vs Vs + Vbat fO
4. f1 = Vs + Vbat Vs - Vbat fO
5. f1 = 2Vs Vs - Vbat fO
6. f1 = Vs - Vbat Vs fO
7. f1 = Vs - Vbat Vs + Vbat fO
8. f1 = fO
9. f1 = 2Vs Vs + Vbat fO

The frequency that is detected is
f= (V+Vr) × fO/ (V + Vs)
The speed of sound is V = Vs
The speed of the receiver is Vr = O
For the speed of the source
Vs = -Vbat, indicating that the bat approaches the wall
Therefore, the correct formula is
f1 = (Vs / (Vs -Vbat)) × fO.

Calculate the heat required when 2.50 mol of a reacts with excess b and a2b according to the reaction: 2a + b + a2b → 2ab + a2 g

Softa [2035]

Answer:

Q = 12.5 kJ

Explanation:

The formula used to compute heat is:

Q = H° * n

Where:

Q: heat (J or kJ)

H°: enthalpy of reaction (kJ/mol)

n: moles

Now, as noted in the comments, the question lacks completeness, here is the part that is missing:

Given:

2A + B  A2B (1)

ΔH° = – 25.0 kJ/mol

2A2B  2AB + A2 (2)

ΔH° = 35.0 kJ/mol

Using these two reactions, we can determine the heat change.

Using the above two reactions, we need to establish the overall reaction (the one presented in the question), so let’s combine (1) and (2):

2A + B -------> A2B H°1 = -25 kJ/mol

2A2B --------> 2AB + A2 H°2 = 35 kJ/mol

When we add these equations, one A2B cancels out with one A2B from reaction 2, thus, we have:

2A + B + 2A2B -------> 2AB + A2

So, for the enthalpy, the values are summed:

H°3 = -25 + 35 = 10 kJ/mol

Now we can calculate the heat:

Q = 10 * 2.5 = 25 kJ

However, as we have 2A in the reaction, it does not maintain a 1:1 mole ratio, instead, it is 1:2, which requires us to adjust; thus:

Q = 25 / 2 = 12.5 kJ

The drawing shows an adiabatically isolated cylinder that is divided initially into two identical parts by an adiabatic partitio

Yuliya22 [2438]

Answer:

the temperature on the left side is 1.48 times greater than that on the right

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

$\gamma = 5/3$

T1 = 525 K

T2 = 275 K

It is known that

$P_1 = \frac{nRT_1}{v}$

$P_2 = \frac{nrT_2}{v}$

n and v are constant on both sides. Therefore we have

$\frac{P_1}{P_2} = \frac{T_1}{T_2} = \frac{525}{275} = \frac{21}{11}$

$P_1 = \frac{21}{11} P_2$ ..............1

let the final pressure be P and the temperature $T_1 {f} and T_2 {f}$

$P_1^{1-\gamma} T_1^{\gamma} = P^{1 - \gamma}T_1 {f}^{\gamma}$

$P_1^{-2/3} T_1^{5/3} = P^{-2/3} T_1 {f}^{5/3}$ ..................2

similarly

$P_2^{-2/3} T_2^{5/3} = P^{-2/3} T_2 {f}^{5/3}$ .............3

divide equation (2) by equation (3)

$\frac{21}{11}^{-2/3} \frac{21}{11}^{5/3} = [\frac{T_1 {f}}{T_2 {f}}]^{5/3}$

$T_1 {f} = 1.48 T_2 {f}$

thus, the left side temperature equals 1.48 times the right side temperature

1. Use Coulomb’s Law (equation below) to calculate the approximate force felt by an electron at point A in the schematic below.

Keith_Richards [2263]

Answer:

Explanation:

The data indicates that point A is located midway between two charges.

To calculate the electric field at point A, we begin with the field produced by charge -Q ( 6e⁻ ) at A:

= 9 x 10⁹ x 6 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ / (2.5)² x 10⁻⁴

= 13.82 x 10⁻⁶ N/C

This field points towards Q⁻.

A similar field will arise from the charge Q⁺, but it will direct away from Q⁺ toward Q⁻.

To find the resultant field, we add these contributions:

= 2 x 13.82 x 10⁻⁶

= 27.64 x 10⁻⁶ N/C

For the force acting on an electron placed at A:

= charge x field

= 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 27.64 x 10⁻⁶

= 44.22 x 10⁻²⁵ N
