The gravitational force increseaes exponentially as you get closer to the moon. Since the denominator of the gravitational force formula is r^2, cutting the distance in half increases the force 4-fold.

A surgical microscope weighing 200 lb is hung from a ceiling by four springs with stiffness 25 lb/ft. The ceiling has a vibratio
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

If there is no damping, the amount of transmitted vibration that the microscope experienced is   = 5.676*10^{-3} \ mm

Explanation:

The motion of the ceiling is y = Y sinωt

y = 0.05 sin (2 π × 2) t

y = 0.05 sin 4 π t

K = 25 lb/ft  × 4  sorings

K = 100 lb/ft

Amplitude of the microscope  \frac{X}{Y}= [\frac{1+2 \epsilon (\omega/ W_n)^2}{(1-(\frac{\omega}{W_n})^2)^2+(2 \epsilon  \frac{\omega}{W_n})^2}]

where;

\epsilon = 0

W_n = \sqrt { \frac{k}{m}}

= \sqrt { \frac{100*32.2}{200}}

= 4.0124

replacing them into the above equation and making X the subject of the formula:

X = Y * \frac{1}{\sqrt{(1-(\frac{\omega}{W_n})^2)^2})}}

X = 0.05 * \frac{1}{\sqrt{(1-(\frac{4 \pi}{4.0124})^2)^2})}}

X = 5.676*10^{-3} \ mm

Therefore; If there is no damping, the amount of transmitted vibration that the microscope experienced is   = 5.676*10^{-3} \ mm

Define motion also justify that rest and motion are related terms​
Damm [24]

Answer;

Motion: A body is said to be in motion if it changes its position with respect to its surroundings.

Explanation:

Rest and motion are the relative terms because they depend on the observer's frame of reference. So if two different observers are not at rest with respect to each other, then they too get different results when they observe the motion or rest of a body .

one example for each. Rest: If a body does not change its position with respect to its surroundings, the body is said to be at rest. ... Motion: A body is said to be in motion if it changes its position with respect to its surroundings.

Two long, parallel, current-carrying wires lie in an xy-plane. The first wire lies on the line y = 0.300 m and carries a current
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the wires attract each other , the direction of current will be same in both the wires .

Let I be current in wire which is along x - axis

force of attraction per unit length between the two current carrying wire is given by

\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}  x \frac{2 I_1\times I_2}{d}

where I₁ and I₂ are currents in the wires and d is distance between the two

Putting the given values

285 x 10⁻⁶ = 10⁻⁷ x \frac{2\times25.5\times I_2}{.3}

I₂ = 16.76 A

Current in the wire along x axis is 16.76 A

To find point where magnetic field is zero due the these wires

The point will lie between the two wires  as current is in the same direction.

Let at y = y , the neutral point lies

k 2 x  \frac{16.76}{y} = k 2 x \frac{25.5}{.3-y}

25.5y = 16.76 x .3 - 16.76y

42.26 y = 5.028

y = .119

= .12 m

If a closed series circuit has a voltage of 12 V and R1 = 4 Ω and R2 = 2 Ω, what is the current running through R1 and R2?
Phantasy [73]
Total resistance=R1+ R2= 6Ω
Voltage=12v
Current =\frac{voltage}{resistance}
Current= 2A
In a series circuit, equal current passes through every resistance.

A 125kg bumper car going 12m/s hits a 235kg bumper car going -13m/s.if the first car bounces back at -12.5m/s what is the veloci
vovikov84 [41]
According to the law of conservation of momentum:

m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}'+m_{2}v_{2}'

m1 = mass of first object
m2 = mass of second object
v1 = Velocity of the first object before the collision
v2 = Velocity of the second object before the collision
v'1 = Velocity of the first object after the collision
v'2 = Velocity of the second object after the collision

Now how do you solve for the velocity of the second car after the collision? First thing you do is get your given and fill in what you know in the equation and solve for what you do not know. 

m1 = 125 kg     v1 = 12m/s      v'1 = -12.5m/s
m2 = 235kg      v2 = -13m/s     v'2 = ?

m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}'+m_{2}v_{2}'
(125kg)(12m/s)+(235kg)(-13m/s)=(125kg)(-12.5m/s)+(235kg)(v_{2}'
1,500kg.m/s+(-3055kg.m/s)=(-1562.5kg.m/s)+(235kg)(v_{2}')
-1,555kg.m/s=(-1562.5kg.m/s)+(235kg)(v_{2}')

Transpose everything on the side of the unknown to isolate the unknown. Do not forget to do the opposite operation. 

-1,555kg.m/s + 1562.5kg.m/s=(235kg)(v_{2}')
7.5kg.m/s=(235kg)(v_{2}')
(7.5kg.m/s)/(235kg)=(v_{2}')
0.03m/s=(v_{2}')

The velocity of the 2nd car after the collision is 0.03m/s.
