An unstrained horizontal spring has a length of 0.31 m and a spring constant of 220 N/m. Two small charged objects are attached

to this spring, one at each end. The charges on the objects have equal magnitudes. Because of these charges, the spring stretches by 0.022 m relative to its unstrained length. Determine (
a. the possible algebraic signs and (
b. the magnitude of the charges.

The solution you should use is Hooke's law: F=-kx

It should have the same signs because they repel due to the stretch of the spring. 

a. Since there is a constant energy within the spring, then Hooke's law will determine the possible algebraic signs. The solution should be 
<span>F = kx 
270 N/m x 0.38 m = 102.6 N 
</span>
b. Then use Coulomb's law; F=kq1q2/r^2 to find the charges produced in the force.

Serhud [2]

Answer: 12.67 cm, 8 cm

Explanation:

Given

Normal distance of separation of eyes, d(n) = 6 cm

Distance of separation is your eyes, d(y) = 9.5 cm

Angle created during the jump, θ = 0.75°

To solve this, we use the formula,

θ = d/r, where

θ = angle created during the jump

d = separation between the eyes

r = distance from the object

θ = d/r

0.75 = 9.5 / r

r = 9.5 / 0.75

r = 12.67 cm

θ = d/r

0.75 = 6 / r

r = 6 / 0.75

r = 8 cm

Thus, the object is 12.67 cm far away in your own "unique" eyes, and just 8 cm further away to the normal person eye

What does a wave do that is so important?
expeople1 [14]
Waves transmit energy without transmitting matter, This means that we can move energy or information from one place to another without moving any substance from one place to another.

What is the relationship between kinetic energy and changing states of matter?
oee [108]

Answer:

The kinetic molecular theory of matter states that: Matter is made up of particles that are constantly moving. All particles have energy, but the energy varies depending on the temperature the sample of matter is in. This in turn determines whether the substance exists in the solid, liquid, or gaseous state.

What is speed of light in crown glass?
german

Answer:

1.97 x 10^8 m/s

Explanation:

refractive index of crown glass with respect to air, n = 1.52

speed of light in air, c = 3 x 10^8 m/s

Let v be the speed of light in crown glass.

By use of the definition of refractive index

n = \frac{c}{v}

where, n be the refractive index of crown glass, c be the speed of light in vacuum and v be the speed of light in crown glass

1.52 = \frac{3 \times 10^{8}}{v}

v = \frac{3 \times 10^{8}}{1.52}

v = 1.97 x 10^8 m/s

Thus, the speed of light in crown glass is 1.97 x 10^8 m/s.
