A block with mass m = 4.5 kg is attached to two springs with spring constants kleft = 36 N/m and kright = 50 N/m. The block is p

ulled a distance x = 0.25 m to the left of its equilibrium position and released from rest. 1)What is the magnitude of the net force on the block (the moment it is released)?

Answer:

21.5 N

Explanation:

As the block is pulled to a distance of 0.25 m to the left of its equilibrium position, the left spring is compressed by x = 0.25 m and exerting an elastic force to the right, the right spring is stretched by x =0.25 m and also exerting an elastic force to the right. Knowing their spring constant, we can calculate the total net force at that instant

F = F_{left} + F_{right}

F = k_{left}x + k_{right}x

F = x(k_{left} + k_{right}) = 0.25(36 + 50) = 0.25*86 = 21.5 N

Definition of termperature in thermodynamics
antoniya [11.8K]
"Temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance, which is related to how hot or cold that substance is. Historically, two equivalent concepts of temperature have developed, the thermodynamic description and a microscopic explanation based on statistical physics"

What would be a good reason to increase friction between surfaces? to allow objects to slide past each other easily to reduce we
Lelu [443]
So basically the objects would be sandpaper and smooth metal, the sandpaper can indirectly touch the metal since it’s so smooth and it won’t cause any temp change either

A satellite orbits the earth at a speed of 8.0x 10^3m/s . Calculate the period of orbit of the satellite if the distance between
gladu [14]

Hi there!

The period of an orbit can be found by:

T = \frac{2\pi r}{v}

T = Period (? s)
r = radius of orbit (6400000 m)

v = speed of the satellite (8000 m/s)

This is the same as the distance = vt equation. The total distance traveled by the satellite is the circumference of its circular orbit.

Let's plug in what we know and solve.

T = \frac{2\pi (6400000)}{8000} = \boxed{5026.55 s}
