E = ½KA^2 is the mechanical energy of any oscillator.  It is the sum of elastic potential energy and kinetic energy.  When amplitude A decreases by 3%, then

(E2-E1)/E1 = {½K(A2^2/A1^2) }/ ½K(A1^2)

= {(A2^2 – A1^2) / (A1^2)}

= 97^2 – 100^2/100^2

= 5.91% of the mechanical energy is lost each cycle.

A rectangular loop of wire of width 10 cm and length 20 cm has a current of 2.5 A flowing through it. Two sides of the loop are
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

(a) 0.05 Am^2

(b) 1.85 x 10^-3 Nm

Explanation:

width, w = 10 cm = 0.1 m

length, l = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Current, i = 2.5 A

Magnetic field, B = 0.037 T

(A) Magnetic moment, M = i x A

Where, A be the area of loop

M = 2.5 x 0.1 x 0.2 = 0.05 Am^2

(B) Torque, τ = M x B x Sin 90

τ = 0.05 x 0.037 x 1

τ = 1.85 x 10^-3 Nm

A confused dragonfly flies forward and backward in a straight line. Its motion is shown on the following graph of horizontal pos
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

  0

Explanation:

Assuming your graph and question match the attachment, the average speed is 0. The bug ends up where it started, so its displacement is zero.

  average speed = displacement/time = 0/(8 s)

  average speed = 0

Two thin lenses with a focal length of magnitude 12.0cm, the first diverging and the second converging, are located 9.00cm apart
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Explanation:

b ) First is concave lens with focal length f₁ = - 12 cm .

object distance u = - 20 cm .

Lens formula

1 / v - 1 / u = 1 / f

1 / v + 1 / 20 = -1 / 12

1 / v =  - 1 / 20  -1 / 12

= - .05 - .08333

= - .13333

v = - 1 / .13333

= - 7.5 cm

first image is formed before the first lens on the side of object.

This will become object for second lens

distance from second lens = 7.5 + 9 = 16.5 cm

c )

For second lens

object distance u = - 16.5 cm

focal length f₂ = + 12 cm ( lens is convex )

image distance = v

lens formula ,

1 / v - 1 / u = 1 / f₂

1 / v + 1 / 16.5 = 1 / 12

1 / v =   1 / 12 -  1 / 16.5

= .08333- .0606

= .02273

v = 1 /  .02273

= 44 cm ( approx )

It will be formed on the other side of convex lens

distance from first lens

= 44 + 9 = 53 cm .

magnification by first lens = v / u

= -7.5 / -20 = .375 .

magnification by second lens = v / u

= 44 / - 16.5

= - 2.67

d )

total magnification

= .375 x - 2.67

= - 1.00125

height of final image

= 2.50 mm x 1.00125

= 2.503mm

e )

The final image will be inverted with respect to object  because total magnification is negative .

Betty weighs 420 n and she is sitting on a playground swing seat that hangs 0.40 m above the ground. tom pulls the swing back an
Svet_ta [14]
Weight = mass * gravity
420 = mass * 9.8
mass of Betty = 42.857 kg

Difference in height = 1 - 0.45 = 0.55 meters

Total energy = Kinetic energy + potential energy

At the highest point, the kinetic energy is zero while the potential energy is maximum, therefore, we can get the total energy as follows:
Total energy = 0 + mgh
Total energy = 42.857*9.8*0.55 = 231 Joules

At the lowest point, the potential energy is zero while the kinetic energy is maximum. Therefore:
Total energy = 0.5 * m * (v)^2 + 0
231 = 0.5 * (42.857) * (velocity)^2
(velocity)^2 = 10.78
velocity = 3.28 meters/sec
