Answer:
because all objects fall at a rate of 9.8m/s²
The mass of the astronaut is still 65 kilograms. Mass is constant or doesn't change no matter where you are.
Answer:
a. k = (1/k₁ + 1/k₂)⁻¹ b. k = (1/k₁ + 1/k₂ + 1/k₃)⁻¹
Explanation:
Since only one force F acts, the force on spring with spring constant k₁ is F = k₁x₁ where x₁ is its extension
the force on spring with spring constant k₂ is F = k₂x₂ where x₁ is its extension
Let F = kx be the force on the equivalent spring with spring constant k and extension x.
The total extension , x = x₁ + x₂
x = F/k = F/k₁ + F/k₂
1/k = 1/k₁ + 1/k₂
k = (1/k₁ + 1/k₂)⁻¹
B
The force on spring with spring constant k₃ is F = k₃x₃ where x₃ is its extension
Let F = kx be the force on the equivalent spring with spring constant k and extension x.
The total extension , x = x₁ + x₂ + x₃
x = F/k = F/k₁ + F/k₂ + F/k₃
1/k = 1/k₁ + 1/k₂ + 1/k₃
k = (1/k₁ + 1/k₂ + 1/k₃)⁻¹
Well, if i am correct. a substance is:
