Answer:

D) 15s

Explanation:

let Te be the period of the block-spring system on earth and Tm be the period of the same system on the moon.let g1 be the gravitational acceleration on earth and g2 be the gravitational acceleration on the moon.

the period of a pendulum is given by:

T = 2π√(L/g)

so on earth:

Te = 2π√(L/g1)

     =  6s

on the moon;

Tm = 2π√(L/g2)

since g2 = 1/6 g1 then:

Tm = 2π√(L/(1/6×g1))

      = √(6)×2π√(L/(g1))

and 2π√(L/(g1)) = Te = 6s

Tm = (√(6))×6 = 14.7s ≈ 15s

Therefore, the period of the block-spring system on the moon is 15s.

If a an object is traveling at a rate of 5 meters per second squared with a force of 10 Newtons, what is the mass of the object?
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

2 kg

Explanation:

Acceleration = 5 m/s^2

Force = 10 N

Force = mass * acceleration

mass = force / acceleration

mass = 10 / 5

mass = 2 kg

A father pushes his child on a swing. He pushes with a force of 20 N or a distance of 1 m, with the force always maintained para
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

20 Joules

Explanation:

Work is done whenever a force moves a body through a certain distance in the direction of the force. So, work done is the product of force and distance moved.

Therefore, we have;

Work done = Force x distance

i.e   Wd = Fs

Given that: F = 20 N and s = 1 m, then;

Wd = 20 N x 1 m

     = 20 Nm

The work done by the father is 20 Joules(Nm).

Calculate the gravitational potential energy is a bicycle of mass 20kg and its rider of mass 50kg cycle to the top of a hill 120
Travka [436]

Explanation:

Gravitational Potential Energy can be calculated with the following formula:

mgh

Where m is mass, g is Gravitational Field Strength, and h is height. GFS on Earth is always 9.81, the combined mass of the cyclist and the bicycle is 70, and the height is 120. Multiplying these values together, we get:

82,404J.

A runner moves west with an initial velocity of 4 m/s. She accelerates 3 m/s2 for 30 seconds. The runner's final velocity is
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

v = 94m/s

Explanation:

Using the first equation of motion

v = u + at

u = 4m/s , a = 3m/s² , t = 30s , v = ?

v = u + at

v = 4 + 3 × 30

v = 4 + 90

v = 94m/s
