Answer:

a) $k = 1343.6\,\frac{N}{m}$ , b) $l = 0.501\,m\,(50.1\,cm)$

Explanation:

a) The Hooke's law states that spring force is directly proportional to change in length. That is to say:

$F \propto \Delta l$

In this case, the force is equal to the weight of the object:

$F = m\cdot g$

$F = (8.22\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )$

$F = 80.614\,N$

The spring constant is:

$k = \frac{F}{\Delta l}$

$k = \frac{80.614\,N}{0.408\,m-0.348\,m}$

$k = 1343.6\,\frac{N}{m}$

b) The length of the spring is:

$F = k\cdot (l-l_{o})$

$l = l_{o} + \frac{F}{k}$

$l=0.348\,m+\frac{205\,N}{1343.6\,\frac{N}{m} }$

$l = 0.501\,m\,(50.1\,cm)$

Why is it important to know the direction of the force applied to a moving object and the direction in which the object is movin

erastova [34]

Answer

(C).

When there is an angle between the two directions, the cosine of the angle must be considered.

Step by step Solution

The work done by a force is defined as the product of the force and the distance traveled in the direction of motion.

The first answer "Only the component of the force perpendicular to the motion is used to calculate the work" is wrong because, the force perpendicular to motion does no work.

The second choice "If the force acts in the same direction as the motion, then no work is done" is wrong because the work in the direction of the force is $W=F\times d$ .

Fourth answer "A force at a right angle to the motion requires the use of the sine of the angle" is wrong because the $sin(90)=0$ meaning that there is no work done in the direction perpendicular to the motion.

The third answer" When there is an angle between the two directions, the cosine of the angle must be considered." is correct because the work is calculated using the force in the direction of the motion. The magnitude of this force is $F\times d\times \cos(\theta).$

If the period of a spring is 5 seconds what is the frequency

Scilla [17]

Answer:

C. 0.2 Hertz

Explanation:

The frequency of a spring is equal to the reciprocal of the period:

$f=\frac{1}{T}$

where

f is the frequency

T is the period

For the spring in this problem,

T = 5 s

therefore, the frequency is

$f=\frac{1}{5 s}=0.2 Hz$

A Ferris wheel on a California pier is 27 m high and rotates once every 32 seconds in the counterclockwise direction. When the w

Leto [7]

A) 140 degrees

First of all, we need to find the angular velocity of the Ferris wheel. We know that its period is

T = 32 s

So the angular velocity is

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2\pi}{32 s}=0.20 rad/s$

Assuming the wheel is moving at constant angular velocity, we can now calculate the angular displacement with respect to the initial position:

$\theta= \omega t$

and substituting t = 75 seconds, we find

$\theta= (0.20 rad/s)(75 s)=15 rad$

In degrees, it is

$15 rad: x = 2\pi rad : 360^{\circ}\\
x=\frac{(15 rad)(360^{\circ})}{2\pi}=860^{\circ} = 140^{\circ}$

So, the new position is 140 degrees from the initial position at the top.

B) 2.7 m/s

The tangential speed, v, of a point at the egde of the wheel is given by

$v=\omega r$

where we have

$\omega=0.20 rad/s$

r = d/2 = (27 m)/2=13.5 m is the radius of the wheel

Substituting into the equation, we find

$v=(0.20 rad/s)(13.5 m)=2.7 m/s$

One watt is A. equal to one kilogram per second B. the power that can be delivered by an average horse C. the same as one-foot p

Naddik [55]

Answer:

D. the proper replacement unit for one joule per second

Explanation:

When energy is divided by the time the energy was used we get power

$P=\dfrac{E}{t}\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{mv^2}{t}\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{kg(\dfrac{m^2}{s^2})}{s}\\\Rightarrow P=kg(\dfrac{m^2}{s^2})}\times \dfrac{1}{s}\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{kgm^2}{s^3}$

$kg\dfrac{m^2}{s^2}=Joule$

$P=\dfrac{kgm^2}{s^3}$

So, the answer is D. the proper replacement unit for one joule per second
