The reason why icebergs float in the ocean has to do with temperature. Icebergs are colder than the ocean water and therefore the cold water is less dense than the warm water and this causes the Iceberg to float.
a). (343 m/s) x (4.5 sec) = 1,543.5 meters
b). The surface it reflected from is (1543.5 / 2) = 771.75 meters away.
The sound had to go there AND come back before you heard the echo.
Answer:
a) 250 N/m
b) 22.4 rad/s , 3.6 Hz , 0.28 sec
c) 0.3125 J
Explanation:
a)
F = force applied on the spring = 7.50 N
x = stretch of the spring from relaxed length when force "F" is applied = 3 cm = 0.03 m
k = spring constant of the spring
Since the force applied causes the spring to stretch
F = k x
7.50 = k (0.03)
k = 250 N/m
b)
m = mass of the particle attached to the spring = 0.500 kg
Angular frequency of motion is given as
= 22.4 rad/s
= frequency
Angular frequency is also given as
= 2 π
22.4 = 2 (3.14) f
= 3.6 Hz
= Time period
Time period is given as
= 0.28 sec
c)
A = amplitude of motion = 5 cm = 0.05 m
Total energy of the spring-block system is given as
U = (0.5) k A²
U = (0.5) (250) (0.05)²
U = 0.3125 J
