Answer:
1.1 sec
Explanation:
m = mass of the box = 8 kg
k = spring constant of the spring = 69 N/m
v = initial speed of the box = 1.5 m/s
t = time period of oscillation of box in contact with the spring
Time period is given as
Inserting the values
t = 1.1 sec
I made the drawing in the attached file.
I included two figures.
The upper figure shows the effect of:
- multiplying vector A times 1.5.
It is drawn in red with dotted line.
- multiplying vector B times - 3 .
It is drawn in purple with dotted line.
In the lower figure you have the resultant vector: C = 1.5A - 3B.
The method is that you translate the tail of the vector -3B unitl the point of the vector 1,5A, preserving the angles.
Then you draw the arrow that joins the tail of 1,5A with the point of -3B after translation.
The resultant arrow is the vector C and it is drawn in black dotted line.
Two Factors That Affect How Much Gravity Is on an Object. Gravity is the force that gives weight to objects and causes them to fall to the ground when dropped. Two major factors, mass and distance, affect the strength of gravitational force on an object.
Answer:
n (a neutron)
Explanation:
For a chemical element:
- The lower subscript indicates the atomic number (the number of protons)
- The upper subscript indicates the mass number (the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus)
In the reaction described in the problem, we see that a gamma photon hits a nucleus of Calcium-40, which has
Z = 20 (20 protons)
A = 40 (40 protons+neutrons)
Which means that the number of neutrons is n = A - Z = 40 - 20 = 20
After the reaction, we have a nucleus of Calcium-39, which has
Z = 20 (20 protons)
A = 39 (39 protons+neutrons)
Which means that the number of neutrons is n = A - Z = 40 - 39 = 19
So, the nucleus has lost 1 neutron, which is the particle missing in the reaction.
