Place the single weight with a known mass on the spring and release it. Eventually, the weight will come to rest at an equilibri

um position, with the spring somewhat stretched compared to its original (unweighted) length. At this point, the upward force of the spring balances the force of gravity on the weight. With the weight in its equilibrium position, how does the amount the spring is stretched depend on the value of the weight's mass?

Answer:

X=m*g/K

Explanation:

Since the elastic force of the spring is balancing the force of gravity:

Fe = m*g

Now, on the spring by Hook's law, the magnitude of the elastic force will be:

Fe = K*X     where K is the elastic constant of the spring and X is the distance the spring is strectches measured from its original lenght to its current length.

Replacing this value:

K*X = m*g   Solving for X:

X = m*g/K    This value is directly proportional to the object's weight and inversely proportional to the spring's constant.

A 100-kg astronaut is floating in outer space. If the astronaut throws a 2-kilogram wrench at a speed of 10 meters per second, w
sergey [27]

Since Astronaut and wrench system is isolated in the space and there is no external force on it

So here momentum of the system will remain conserved

so here we can say

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

initially both are at rest

so here plug in all values

0 = 100 v_{1f} + 2\times 10

v_{1f} = -0.20 m/s

so here the astronaut will move in opposite direction and its speed will be equal to 0.20 m/s

Which energy transfer occurs when a cube of ice is placed in a glass of<br> water?
Daniel [21]
Acetic acid is a weak acid and sodium hydroxide is strong base. Salts of the two will hydrolyse to give basic solution. So, at neutral point, pH of the solution will be greater than 8.

When an average force F is exerted over a certain distance on a shopping cart of mass m, its kinetic energy increases by 12mv2.
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

A)d=\dfrac{1}{2F}mv^2

B)\Delta KE'=2\times \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Explanation:

Given that

Force  = F

Increase in Kinetic energy = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

\Delta KE=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

we know that

Work done by all the forces =change in the kinetic energy

a)

Lets distance = d

We know work done by force F

W= F .d

F.d=ΔKE

F.d=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

d=\dfrac{1}{2F}mv^2

b)

If the force become twice

F' = 2 F

F'.d=ΔKE'

2 F .d = ΔKE'                          ( F.d =Δ KE)

2ΔKE = ΔKE'

\Delta KE'=2\times \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Therefore the final kinetic energy will become the twice if the force become twice.
