After driving a portion of the route, the taptap is fully loaded with a total of 25 people including the driver, with an average

mass of 66 kg per person. In addition, there are three 15-kg goats, five 3-kg chickens, and a total of 25 kg of bananas on their way to the market. Assume that the springs have somehow not yet compressed to their maximum amount. How much are the springs compressed? Enter the compression numerically in meters using two significant figures.

Answer:

Incomplete Question

Explanation:

String constant is not stated

I'll solve this in a general way.

At the end of my explanation, I'll assume any value for string constant.

The total weight on the taptap : Weight of people + Weight of goats + Weight of chickens + weight of banana

= (25 * 66) + (3 * 15) + (5 * 3) + 25 = 1735 kg

The gravitational force exerted on the taptap

Fig = m*g

where m = the total mass 1735kg

and g = 9.8m/s²

Hooke's law of Elasticity states that

Fs = Kx

Where Fs = spring force

k = spring constant

x = spring stretch or compression

Since Fs = Fg

So, Kx = mg

Make x the subject of the formula

x = mg/k --------------- This is the general way of solving for spring compressor in cases like this

I'll replace m and g with their values, respectively.

Because, the spring constant (k) is omitted in the question, I'll assume it to be 30000

x = 1735 * 9.8/30000

x = 17003/30000

x = 0.566767 metres

x = 0.57 metres ------------- Approximated

In conclusion, the spring compression is 0.57 metres if the spring constant is 30000

An electron with a speed of 1.9 × 107 m/s moves horizontally into a region where a constant vertical force of 4.9 × 10-16 N acts

Nimfa-mama [501]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the electron in horizontal region, $v=1.9\times 10^7\ m/s$

Vertical force, $F_y=4.9\times 10^{-16}\ N$

Vertical acceleration, $a_y=\dfrac{F_y}{m}$

$a_y=\dfrac{4.9\times 10^{-16}\ N}{9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg}$

$a_y=5.37\times 10^{14}\ m/s^2$ ..........(1)

Let t is the time taken by the electron, such that,

$t=\dfrac{x}{v_x}$

$t=\dfrac{0.024\ m}{1.9\times 10^7\ m/s}$

$t=1.26\times 10^{-9}\ s$ ...........(2)

Let $d_y$ is the vertical distance deflected during this time. It can be calculated using second equation of motion:

$d_y=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}a_yt^2$

u = 0

$d_y=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 5.37\times 10^{14}\ m/s^2\times (1.26\times 10^{-9}\ s)^2$

$d_y=0.000426\ m$

$d_y=0.426\ mm$

So, the vertical distance the electron is deflected during the time is 0.426 mm. Hence, this is the required solution.

According to the concept of length contraction, what happens to the length of an object as it approaches the speed of light and

lord [1]

When an object moves its length contracts in the direction of motion. The faster it moves the shorter it gets in the direction of motion.
The object in this question moves and then stops moving. So it's length first contracts and then expands to its original length when the motion stops.
The speed doesn't have to be anywhere near the speed of light. When the object moves its length contracts no matter how fast or slow it's moving.

(a) A standard sheet of paper measures 8 1/2 by 13 inches. Find the area of one such sheet of paper in m2.8.5(!meter/39.37in) —

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

a) A = 0.07129 m²

b) A / A ’= 1.77

Explanation:

In this exercise we are asked to find the area in SI units, so let's start by reducing the dimensions to SI units.

width a = 8.5 inch (2.54 cm 1 inch) (1 m / 100 cm)

a = 0.2159 m

length l = 13 inch (2.54 cm / 1 inch) (1 m / 100 cm)

l = 0.3302 m

The area of a rectangle is

A = l a

A = 0.3302 0.2159

A = 0.07129 m²

b) we have a second sheet with reduced dimensions

a ’= 3/4 a

l ’= ¾ l

Let's find the area of this glossy sheet

A ’= l’ a ’

A ’= ¾ l ¾ a

A ’= 9/16 l a

To find the factor we divide the two quantities

A / A ’= l a 16 / (9 l a

A / A ’= 1.77
