To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to frequency in a spring mass system. For this purpose we will define the frequency in this type of systems as

f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

Here,

k = Spring constant

m = Mass

PART A) The frequency would be 1Hz(1s^{-1}) and the value of the mass is 27*10^{-3} kg replacing and solving to find k we have that,

f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

1Hz = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{k}{27*10^{-3}}}

k = 1.065N/m

Therefore under that condition the esired spring constant of the spring is 1.065N/m

PART B) I assume that the spring obeys Hookes law, and ignore any possible damping due to air resistance or friction.

Bumek [7]
<span>The key equation is going to come from Mr Planck: E=h \nu

Where h is Plancks constant; and ν is the frequency. This equation gives you the energy per photon at a given frequency. Alas, you're given wavelength, but that's easy enough to convert to frequency given the following equation:

c= lambda / nu

where c is the speed of light; λ (lambda) is the wavelength; and ν is again frequency. As soon as you know the energy of a photon with a wavelength of 550nm, you should know how many photons you would require to accumulate 10^-18J. Be careful with your units.</span>

A block is projected with speed v across a horizontal surface and slides to a stop due to friction. The same block is then proje
natka813 [3]

Answer: C. The case on the inclined surface had the least decrease intotal mechanical energy.

Explanation:

First and foremost, it should be noted that the mechanical energy is the addition of the potential and the kinetic energy.

From the information given, it should be known that when the block is projected with the same speed v up an incline where is slides to a stop due to friction, the box will lose its kinetic energy but there'll be na increase in the potential energy as a result of the veritcal height. This then brings about an increase in the mechanical energy.

Therefore, the total mechanical energy of the block will decrease the least when the case on the inclined surface had the least decrease intotal mechanical energy.

Voices of swimmers at a pool travel 400 m/s through the air and 1,600 m/s underwater. The wavelength changes from 2 m in the air
frosja888 [35]

The frequency of the wave has not changed.

In fact, the frequency of a wave is given by:

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}

where v is the wave's speed and \lambda is the wavelength.

Applying the formula:

- In air, the frequency of the wave is:

f=\frac{400 m/s}{2 m}=200 Hz

- underwater, the frequency of the wave is:

f=\frac{1600 m/s}{8 m}=200 Hz

So, the frequency has not changed.

A 1.15-kg mass oscillates according to the equation x = 0.650 cos(8.40t) where x is in meters and t in seconds. Determine (a) th
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

(a) A = 0.650 m

(b) f = 1.3368 Hz

(c) E = 17.1416 J

(d)  K = 11.8835 J

     U = 5.2581 J

Explanation:

Given

m = 1.15 kg

x = 0.650 cos (8.40t)

(a) the amplitude,

A = 0.650 m

(b) the frequency,

if we know that

ω = 2πf = 8.40    ⇒   f = 8.40 / (2π)

⇒   f = 1.3368 Hz

(c) the total energy,

we use the formula

E = m*ω²*A² / 2

⇒  E = (1.15)(8.40)²(0.650)² / 2

⇒  E = 17.1416 J

(d) the kinetic energy and potential energy when x = 0.360 m.

We use the formulas

K = (1/2)*m*ω²*(A² - x²)       (the kinetic energy)

and

U = (1/2)*m*ω²*x²              (the potential energy)

then

K = (1/2)*(1.15)*(8.40)²*((0.650)² - (0.360)²)

⇒  K = 11.8835 J

U = (1/2)*(1.15)*(8.40)²*(0.360)²

⇒  U = 5.2581 J

When the Glen Canyon hydroelectric power plant in Arizona is running at capacity, 690 m3 of water flows through the dam each sec
bixtya [17]

Answer:

1340.2MW

Explanation:

Hi!

To solve this problem follow the steps below!

1 finds the maximum maximum power, using the hydraulic power equation which is the product of the flow rate by height by the specific weight of fluid

W=αhQ

α=specific weight for water =9.81KN/m^3

h=height=220m

Q=flow=690m^3/s

W=(690)(220)(9.81)=1489158Kw=1489.16MW

2. Taking into account that the generator has a 90% efficiency, Find the real power by multiplying the ideal power by the efficiency of the electric generator

Wr=(0.9)(1489.16MW)=1340.2MW

the maximum possible electric power output is 1340.2MW
