On your first trip to Planet X you happen to take along a 180 g mass, a 40-cm-long spring, a meter stick, and a stopwatch. You'r

e curious about the free-fall acceleration on Planet X, where ordinary tasks seem easier than on earth, but you can't find this information in your Visitor's Guide. One night you suspend the spring from the ceiling in your room and hang the mass from it. You find that the mass stretches the spring by 22.6 cm . You then pull the mass down 11.4 cm and release it. With the stopwatch you find that 11 oscillations take 19.0 s ?

Answer:

g_x = 3.0 m / s^2

Explanation:

Given:

- Change in length of spring [email protected] = 22.6 cm

- Time taken for 11 oscillations t = 19.0 s

Find:

- The value of gravitational free fall g_x at plant X:

Solution:

- We will assume a simple harmonic motion of the mass for which Time is:

                                 T  = 2*pi*sqrt(k / m )    ...... 1

- Sum of forces in vertical direction @equilibrium is zero:

                                 F_net = k*x - m*g_x = 0

                                 (k / m) = (g_x / x)    .... 2

- substitute Eq 2 into Eq 1:

                                  2*pi / T = sqrt ( g_x / x )

                                   g_x = (2*pi / T )^2 * x

- Evaluate g_x:

                                  g_x = (2*pi / (19 / 11) )^2 * 0.226

                                  g_x = 3.0 m / s^2

A boy starts from point A and walks 3 meters toward the south, then turns around and walks 7 meters toward the north. What is th
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

-3m+7m =  4m

Explanation:

As he walks south, he is going down 3m (-3m). Then he walks up 7m (+7m).

You subtract the final position from the initial position to get displacement.

7m - 3m = 4m

8. two +1 C charges are separated by 3000m. What is the magnitude of the electric force between them?
Sidana [21]

Answer:

1000 N

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charged object is given by

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb constant

q1, q2 is the magnitude of the two charges

r is the distance between the two objects

Moreover, the force is:

- Attractive if the two forces have opposite sign

- Repulsive if the two forces have same sign

In this problem:

q_1=q_2=+1C are the two charges

r = 3000 m is their separation

Therefore, the electric force between the charges is:

F=(9\cdot 10^9)\frac{(1)(1)}{3000^2}=1000 N

A group of workers applied 10.0 networks of force to move a crate 20.0 meter. Calculate the work
olga2289 [7]

The work done is 200 J

Explanation:

The work done by a force applied to move an object is given by:

W= F d cos \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement of the object

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and of the displacement

In this problem, assuming that the force applied by the workers is parallel to the direction of motion of the crate, we have:

F = 10.0 N

d = 20.0 m

\theta=0^{\circ}

Therefore, the work done is:

W=(10.0)(20.0)(cos 0)=200 J

Some hummingbirds beat their wings more than 50 times per second. A scientist is measuring the time it takes for a hummingbird t
Aliun [14]

Answer:

millisecond

Explanation:

Time is measured in seconds in the SI system. The scientist will measure the time it takes to complete one flap of the wings. In the SI system the use of prefix makes it easier to describe the value. It is as follows

1\ ns=10^{-9}\ s

1\ \mu s=10^{-6}\ s

1\ ms=10^{-3}\ s

1\ cs=10^{-2}\ s

Here, the wings flap so fast that the millisecond should be used.
