Answer:

1keff=1k1+1k2

see further explanation

Explanation:for clarification

Show that the effective force constant of a series combination is given by 1keff=1k1+1k2. (Hint: For a given force, the total distance stretched by the equivalent single spring is the sum of the distances stretched by the springs in combination. Also, each spring must exert the same force. Do you see why?

From Hooke's law , we know that the force exerted on an elastic object is directly proportional to the extension provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded.

Now the spring is in series combination

F\alphae

F=ke

k=f/e.........*

where k is the force constant or the constant of proportionality

k=f/e

f_{eff} =f_{1} +f_{2}............................1

also for effective force constant

divide all through by extension

1) Total force is

Ft=F1+F2

Ft=k1e1+k2e2

F = k(e1+e2) 2)

Since force on the 2 springs is the same, so

k1e1=k2e2

e1=F/k1 and e2=F/k2,

and e1+e2=F/keq

Substituting e1 and e2, you get

1/keq=1/k1+1/k2

Hint: For a given force, the total distance stretched by the equivalent single spring is the sum of the distances stretched by the springs in combination.

While playing football, Chris runs 4.5 m at 20⁰ south of west. If an opponent was trying to tackle him how far west and south wo
rewona [7]

Answer:

South = 1.5m

West =4.2m

Explanation:

Kindly see attached a rough draft of the situation

Step one

Given data

From the sketch the direction of the player is along the resultant of the triangle, corresponding to the Hypotenuse

Step two:

Hence for an opponent to tackle him towards the south, he must be at

sin θ= opp/hyp

sin 20=x/4.5

x=sin 20*4.5

x=0.342*4.5

x= 1.5m

Also, for an opponent to tackle him towards the south, he must be at

cos θ= adj/hyp

cos 20=y/4.5

y=cos 20*4.5

y=0.93*4.5

y= 4.2m

Analogies exist between rotational and translational physical quantities. Identify the rotational term analogous to each of the
damaskus [11]

Explanation:

Acceleration. Angular acceleration: Is the rate of change of the angular velocity of a body with respect to time.

Force. Torque: Is also called rotational force, since an applied torque will change the rotational motion of a body.

Mass. Moment of inertia: It is the resistance that opposes a body to rotates.

Work. Work: In a rotational motion, the work is done by the torque.

Translational kinetic energy. Rotational kinetic energy: is the kinetic energy due to the rotational motion of a body.

Linear momentum. Angular momentum: Represents the quantity of rotational motion of a body.

Impulse. Angular impulse: Is the change in angular momentum of a body.

An object is hanging by a string from the ceiling of an elevator. The elevator is moving upward with a constant speed. What is t
lana [24]

Answer:

Equal to the weight of the object

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the object hanging on the string:

- The tension in the string, T, acting upward

- The weight of the object, mg, acting downward

We can write Newton's second law as:

T-mg=ma

where a is the acceleration of the object.

Here we are told that the elevator is moving at constant speed: this means that the acceleration of the object is zero, therefore a = 0 and the equation becomes

T=mg

therefore, the tension in the string is equal to the weight of the object.
