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

A laser pulse takes 2.56 seconds to travel from Earth to the Moon and return. Use this to calculate how far away the Moon is. Ho
Deffense [45]

Answer:

x = 3.84\times 10^{5}\,km

This delay affect conversations in the sense that recipient will be receive the message just 2.56 seconds after the message was sent.

Explanation:

The laser pulse has an ondulatory nature as electromagnetic wave, which can travel in the void. Speed of light is constant and distance between Earth and the Moon is:

x = 0.5\cdot c\cdot \Delta t

x = 0.5\cdot (3\times 10^{5}\,\frac{km}{s})\cdot (2.56\,s)

x = 3.84\times 10^{5}\,km

This delay affect conversations in the sense that recipient will be receive the message just 2.56 seconds after the message was sent.

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

The part of the earth and its atmosphere in which living organisms exist or that is capable of supporting life.

Explanation:

It’s in the definition of biosphere. “Bio” means “life,” so “biosphere” is that portion of the Earth capable of supporting life.

Calculate the required rate of return for Climax Inc., assuming that (1) investors expect a 4.0% rate of inflation in the future
Westkost [7]

Answer:

Required rate of return = 18.5 %

Explanation:

given,                            

rate of inflection = 4 %

risk free rate = 3 %                      

market risk premium = 5 %                    

firm has a beta  = 2.30                                  

rate of return has averaged 15.0% over the last 5 years

now,                                                                      

Nominal risk free rate = risk free rate  + inflation

                                    = 3%  +  4%

                                   = 7%

Required rate of return = Nominal risk free rate + β (RPM)

                                       = 7%       +          2.3 x 5.0%

Required rate of return = 18.5 %

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST! Briefly describe the three phases of self-regulation.<br> _PSYCHOLOGY_
Zinaida [17]

Phase 1. Forethought/preaction—This phase precedes the actual performance; sets the stage for action; maps out the tasks to minimize the unknown; and helps to develop a positive mindset. Realistic expectations can make the task more appealing. Goals must be set as specific outcomes, arranged in order from short-term to long-term. We have to ask students to consider the following:

<span>When will they start?Where will they do the work?How will they get started?<span>What conditions will help or hinder their learning activities are a part of this phase?
</span></span>

Phase 2. Performance control—This phase involves processes during learning and the active attempt to utilize specific strategies to help a student become more successful.

We have to ask students to consider the following:

<span>Are students accomplishing what they hoped to do?Are they being distracted?Is this taking more time than they thought?Under what conditions do they accomplish the most?What questions can they ask themselves while they are working?<span>How can they encourage themselves to keep working (including self-talk—come on, get your work done so you can watch that television show or read your magazine!)
</span></span>

Phase 3. Self-reflection—This phase involves reflection after the performance, a self-evaluation of outcomes compared to goals.

We have to ask students to consider the following:

<span>Did they accomplish what they planned to do?Were they distracted and how did they get back to work?Did they plan enough time or did they need more time than they thought?<span>Under what conditions did they accomplish the most work. 
Hope this helps!!!!!

An electron moves at 0.130 c as shown in the figure (Figure 1). There are points: A, B, C, and D 2.10 μm from the electron.
Olegator [25]

Hi there!

We can use Biot-Savart's Law for a moving particle:
B= \frac{\mu_0 }{4\pi}\frac{q\vec{v}\times \vec{r}}{r^2 }

B = Magnetic field strength (T)
v = velocity of electron (0.130c = 3.9 × 10⁷ m/s)

q = charge of particle (1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C)

μ₀ = Permeability of free space (4π × 10⁻⁷ Tm/A)

r = distance from particle (2.10 μm)

There is a cross product between the velocity vector and the radius vector (not a quantity, but specifies a direction). We can write this as:

B= \frac{\mu_0 }{4\pi}\frac{q\vec{v} \vec{r}sin\theta}{r^2 }

Where 'θ' is the angle between the velocity and radius vectors.

a)
To find the angle between the velocity and radius vector, we find the complementary angle:

θ = 90° - 60° = 30°

Plugging 'θ' into the equation along with our other values:

B= \frac{\mu_0 }{4\pi}\frac{q\vec{v} \vec{r}sin\theta}{r^2 }\\\\B= \frac{(4\pi *10^{-7})}{4\pi}\frac{(1.6*10^{-19})(3.9*10^{7}) \vec{r}sin(30)}{(2.1*10^{-5})^2 }

B = \boxed{7.07 *10^{-10} T}

b)
Repeat the same process. The angle between the velocity and radius vector is 150°, and its sine value is the same as that of sin(30°). So, the particle's produced field will be the same as that of part A.

c)

In this instance, the radius vector and the velocity vector are perpendicular so

'θ' = 90°.

B= \frac{(4\pi *10^{-7})}{4\pi}\frac{(1.6*10^{-19})(3.9*10^{7}) \vec{r}sin(90)}{(2.1*10^{-5})^2 } = \boxed{1.415 * 10^{-9}T}

d)
This point is ALONG the velocity vector, so there is no magnetic field produced at this point.

Aka, the radius and velocity vectors are parallel, and since sin(0) = 0, there is no magnetic field at this point.

\boxed{B = 0 T}
