Describe two methods to determine the spring constant of a spring. Explain. Spring Constant: When stretching or compressing a spring, the spring constant is the force needed divided by the distance that the spring gets longer or shorter. To determine the linear relationship between force a...
We also used a simple damping model for movement trajectories to describe potential differences in behavior between visual conditions. Subjects performed straight arm pointing movements to REAL target locations or remembered target locations in darkness (DARK) or normal room lighting (LIGHT). Performances...
Describe the work and energy transfers that take place when setting a pendulum in motion. Assume that the pendulum is initially in its resting, equilibrium position. Assume that the system is frictionless. Use drawings to help ex...
Explain why the voltage and resistance will change depending on the length of the material. What is the tension connecting the 2 objects? What is surface tension and what does tension in surface mean? Describe how stress and strain relate to elastic deformation? How can we ca...
We describe the spatially and temporally observed oceanic variance as an internal wavefield—purposely discard any vortical modes influence on such variance—and characterize this internal wavefield in the two-dimensional (2D) frequency (ω) and magnitude of vertical wavenumber (m) spectral space. Inter...
The predator-prey solution enabled the creation of a predictive model, which has proven itself reliable and accurate41. Our model. We now describe dust-forming plasmas as a predator-prey system, in which the dust particulates are the predators and the electrons the prey. Figure 1 ...
The interrelated mechanisms we describe here are triggered by simple, hence probably common, changes of conduit geometry that may be readily related to local, shallow crustal structure and geological history. Besides illuminating the focal mechanisms of specific volcanic seismic events, necking is consist...
Why are there positive and negative electrical charges, while magnetic poles always seem to be bound together? Describe how a positively charged object can be used to give another object a negative charge. What is the name of this process? All atoms have moving electric charges. Then, w...
Define and explain the usefulness of Mohr's circle in the engineering context. Principal stress: Principal stresses can be defined as the maximum normal stresses and minimum normal stresses acting on a particular plane. This particular plane is known as the principal plane. The valu...
In physics, pendulum is the system of bob and thread . Thread is attached to the bob, so the bob moves freely. The common motion follows by the bob is to and fro motion. The driving force of the pendulum is occurs due to gravity....
