Balanced Forces acting on an object will not change the object's motion. Unbalanced Forces acting on an object will change the change the object's motion.
Answer:
6.57 m/s
Explanation:
First use Hook's Law to determine the F the compressed spring acts on the mass. Hook's Law F=kx; F=force, k=stiffnes of spring (or spring constant), x=displacement
F=kx; F=180(.3) = 54 N
Next from Newton's second law find the acceleration of the mass.
Newton's .2nd law F=ma; a=F/m ; a=54/.75 = 72m/s²
Now use the kinematic equation for velocity (or speed)
v₂²= v₀² + 2a(x₂-x₀); v₂=final velocity; v₀=initial velocity; a=acceleration; x₂=final displacement; x₀=initial displacment.
v₀=0, since the mass is at rest before we release it
a=72 m/s² (from above)
x₀=0 as the start position already compressed
x₂=0.3m (this puts the spring back to it's natural length)
v₂²= 0 + 2(72)(0.3) = 43.2 m²/s²
v₂=
= 6.57 m/s
Explanation:
The acceleration g varies by about 1/2 of 1 percent with position on Earth's surface, from about 9.78 metres per second per second at the Equator to approximately 9.83 metres per second per second at the poles.
Answer:
Yes the body will receive a dangerous shock in both cases.
Explanation:
Different parts of the body has different resistance. skin has the high resistance as compared to other organs of the body.
Dry skin has high resistance than wet skin this is because water is relatively good conductor of electricity, it adds parallel path to the current flow and hence reduces skin resistance.
Dry hands body has approximately 500 kΩ resistance and if 120 V electricity supply current received will be:
I = V/R= 120/ 500*10^3
I= 0.24 mA
Even the current seems is much lower than the safe zone but this is the case in case of DC voltage in case of AC voltage the body will receive a shock this is because the skin pass more current when the voltage is changing i.e. AC.
Similarly for wet hands body resistance is 1 kΩ. so the current through the body seems to be:
I = 120 / 1000
I = 12 mA
The current is higher than safe zone so the body will receive a dangerous shock.
