A spring is laid horizontally on a table and a force of 62 N is required to stretch the spring 12 cm. The spring is then held ve

rtically and an object is attached to the end of it which causes the spring to stretch 9.7 cm. What is the Mass of the object?

Answer:

5.11 kg

Explanation:

Hooke's law states that stress is directly proportional to strain. It can be represented by the equation:

F = -kx

Where x is the displacement of the spring’s end from its equilibrium position, F is the force applied to the spring, k is a constant known as spring constant.

At first a force (F) of 62 N i used to stretch a spring by 12 cm (x).

Substituting into Hooke's equation:

F = kx

k = F/x = 62 / 12 = 5.17 N/cm

The spring is then held vertically and an object. The object is acted by upon by acceleration due to gravity since it is vertically upward. Therefore the force created by the object F = mg where g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s². It causes a stretch (x) of 9.7 cm

Therefore:

mg =  5.17 N/cm × 9.7 cm

9.81m = 50.117

m = 50.117 / 9.81 = 5.11 kg

Lelu [443]

Answer:

The greatest acceleration the man can give the airplane is 0.0059 m/s².

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of man = 85 kg

Mass of airplane = 109000 kg

Distance = 9.08

Coefficient of static friction = 0.77

We need to calculate the greatest friction force

Using formula of friction

F=\mu mg

Where, m = mass of man

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value into the formula

F = 0.77\times85\times9.8

F= 641.41\ N

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using formula of newton's second law

F = ma

a=\dfrac{F}{m}

Put the value into the formula

a=\dfrac{ 641.41}{109000}

a=0.0059\ m/s^2

Hence, The greatest acceleration the man can give the airplane is 0.0059 m/s².

A bike rider was moving to the right at a constant speed. Suddenly the wind then starts blowing against her with 3 N of force to
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The correct option is D

Explanation:

This question can be better understood when discussed using the Newton's first law of motion which states that an object would continue to move with a uniform speed (in a straight line) unless acted upon by an external force. What happens here (in the question) is that the bike rider would have continued moving at a constant speed (to the right) if not for the opposing force of the wind that acted against her (to the left). <u>This wind/force would cause her speed to reduce or slow down (as posited by the law)</u>.

a street light is mounted at the top of a 15 foot pole. A man 6 ft tall walks away from the pole wit a speed of 7 ft/s along a s
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

16.3 ft/s

Explanation:

Let d=distance

and

x = length of shadow.

Therfore,

x=(d + x)

 = 6/15

So,

    15x = 6x + 6d

     9x = 6d.

x = (2/3)d.

As we know that:

dx=dt

   = (2/3) (d/dt) 

Also,

Given:

d(d)=dt

     = 7 ft/s

Thus,

d(d + x)=dt

           = (7/3)d (d/dt)

Substitute, d= 7  

d(d + x) = 49/3 ft/s.

Hence,

d(d + x) = 16.3 ft/s.

What type of animals does Dr. Grant study?
Rasek [7]
Dr. Alan Grant is the main protagonist in Jurassic Park, with the book written primarily from his perspective. He is a paleontology professor at the University of Denver and receives research funding from the Hammond Foundation. He became a world-renowned paleontologist after discovering dinosaur nest fossils in Montana. Billionaire John Hammond chooses Dr. Grant to evaluate his dinosaur amusement park because of his professional expertise and unbiased opinion on dinosaurs.
