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.

Two astronauts of mass 100 kg are 2 m apart in outer space. What is the
fredd [130]

The force of gravity between the astronauts is 1.67\cdot 10^{-7}N

Explanation:

The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by:

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where :

G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

m_1, m_2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between them

In this problem, we have two astronauts, whose masses are:

m_1 = 100 kg\\m_2 = 100 kg

While the separation between the astronauts is

r = 2 m

Substituting into the equation, we can find the gravitational force between the two astronauts:

F=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(100)(100)}{2^2}=1.67\cdot 10^{-7}N

What is the Kinetic Energy of a tennis ball after 40.0cm of freefall?
OlgaM077 [116]
The kinetic energy is the same as the potential energy of raising it 40cm (0.4m). That's mgh where m is mass of ball. Its then 3.924*m, whatever m is equal to in kg.

Where does pressure come from?
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

It is made up of molecules which are pulled down to Earth by gravity. That pull makes molecules bump into each other, exerting pressure. Our bodies are specially adapted to living under 1 kilogram per square centimeter (14.7 pounds per square inch) of pressure pushing down on us at sea level!
