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

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 3 kg</h3>

Explanation:

The mass of the object can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{f}{a}  \\

f is the force

a is the acceleration

From the question we have

m =  \frac{12}{4}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>3 kg</h3>

Question 2 (1 point)
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

I know someone anwsered but it would be 400M

Explanation:

i initial velocity (u)=10m/s

acceleration (a)=0

time taken (t) =40s

then distance (s)=u t +1/2 a t^2

s= u t +0 (as a is 0)

s= 10 x 40

s= 400M

If the sun is 400 times bigger than the moon, how couild the moon possibly cover the sun during a solar eclipse?​
AlekseyPX

Explanation:

the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun Even though the Moon is much smaller than the Sun, because it is just the right distance away from Earth, the Moon can fully block the Sun's light from Earth's perspective This completely blocks out the Sun's light
