Answer:

625000 N/ m

Explanation:

m= 20 kg

v= 30 m/s

x= 12 cm

k = ?

Here when the mass when hits at spring its speed is

Vi= 30 m/s

Finally it comes to rest after compressing for 12 cm

i-e Vf = 0 m/s

Distance= S= 12 cm = 0.12 m

using

2aS= Vf2 - Vi2

==> 2a ×0.12 = o- 30 × 30

==> a = 900 ÷ 0.24 = 3750 m/sec2

Now we know;

F = ma

F= -Kx

==> ma= -kx

==> 20 × 3750 = -K × 0.12

==> k = 625000 N/ m

trapecia [35]
The solution for this problem is:
(10 x 9.8) = 98.1 m/sec^2 acceleration. Time, to travel 9.4cm or (.094m.), at acceleration of 98m/sec^2

= sqrt(2d/a), = sqrt (98.1 m/sec^2/0.094m) = 32.3050619 sec per cycle

Frequency = (w/2pi), = 32.3050619/2pi
= 32.3050619/6.28318531
= 5.14 Hz would be the answer

Answer:

<u>Informed Consent- The study didn't conform this ethical standard.</u>

<u>Debriefing- The study conforms this ethical standard.</u>

<u>Confidentiality- The study conforms this ethical standard.</u>

<u>Protection from harm- The study conforms this ethical standard.</u>

Explanation:

<u>Informed consent</u> is described as a procedure whereby researchers tend to provide details about specific research they are going to conduct, the risk & benefits involved in the study, different alternatives involved in the procedure, etc.

<u>Debriefing </u>is described as a process that is being conducted in any of the different psychological research encompassing human participants after specific research is completed. The researcher tends to describe the details of the research to the participants.

<u>Confidentiality</u> is described as one of the different code of ethics followed by health workers or psychologists. While practicing confidentiality, a psychologist tends to promise his or her participants that he or she will keep everything a secret whatever is being discussed or shared between both of them.

<u>Protection from harm</u> determines that the psychologists conducting research follows the ethics in which he or she has to protect all the participants from any kind of harm.

The burj Khalifa in Dubai is the worlds tallest building. It rises to an amazing 828M above the ground and if you were to get to
antoniya [11.8K]
I don't understand what you mean by "depth" of the steps.  The flat part of the step has a front-to-back dimension, and the 'riser' has a height.  I don't care about the horizontal dimension of the step because it doesn't add anything to the climber's potential energy.  And if the riser of each step is 20cm high, then 3,234 of them only take him (3,234 x 0.2) = 646.8 meters up off the ground.  So something is definitely fishy about the steps.

Fortunately, we don't need to worry at all about the steps in order to derive a first approximation to the answer ... one that's certainly good enough for high school Physics.

In order to lift his bulk 828 meters from the street to the top of the Burj, the climber has to provide a force of 800 newtons, and maintain it through a distance of 828 meters.  The work [s]he does is (force) x (distance) = <em>662,400 joules. </em>

An empty bottle has a mass of 35.00 grams. When filled with water, it has a mass of 98.44 grams. Of the same bottle is filled wi
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Specific gravity of other fluid = .854 (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of water = 35 g

Mass of filled bottle with water = 98.44 g

Mass of filled bottle with fluid = 89.22 g

Computation:

Mass of water = 98.44g - 35g = 63.44g

Density of water = 1000 g/L

Volume of bottle = 63.44/1000 = 0.06344L

Mass of other liquid = 89.22g - 35g = 54.22g

Density of other liquid = 54.22g/0.06344L = 854.665826 g/L

Water has a specific gravity = 1

So ,  specific gravity of other fluid

1000 / 854.665826 = 1 / specific gravity of other fluid

Specific gravity of other fluid = .854 (Approx)
