Let's call m=565~g=0.565~kg the mass of the glider and m_w=7\cdot12~g =84~g=0.084~kg the total mass of the seven washers hanging from the string. 
The net force on the system is given by the weight of the hanging washers:
F_{net} = m_w g
For Newton's second law, this net force is equal to the product between the total mass of the system (which is m+m_w) and the acceleration a:
F_{net}=(m+m_w)a
So, if we equalize the two equations, we get
m_w g = (m+m_w)a
and from this we can find the acceleration:
a= \frac{m_w g}{(m+m_w)} = \frac{0.084~kg \cdot 9.81~m/s^2}{(0.565~kg+0.084~kg)}=1.27~m/s^2

Explain what the core muscles do and why it's important to have a strong set of core muscles.
Alika [10]

Answer:

Since your spine runs by your core, having a strong core will help protect and stabilize your spine, and you're also are able to control movements such as walking or standing better with a strong core.

Suppose that you observe light emitted from a distant star to be at a wavelength of 525 nm. The wavelength of light to an observ
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

The velocity of the star is 0.532 c.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of observer = 525 nm

Wave length of source = 950 nm

We need to calculate the velocity

If the direction is from observer to star.

From Doppler effect

\lambda_{0}=\sqrt{\dfrac{c+v}{c-v}}\times\lambda_{s}

Put the value into the formula

525=\sqrt{\dfrac{c+v}{c-v}}\times950

\dfrac{c+v}{c-v}=(\dfrac{525}{950})^2

\dfrac{c+v}{c-v}=0.305

c+v=0.305\times(c-v)

v(1+0.305)=c(0.305-1)

v=\dfrac{0.305-1}{1+0.305}c

v=−0.532c

Negative sign shows the star is moving toward the observer.

Hence, The velocity of the star is 0.532 c.
