Answer:

12.0N

Explanation:

This problem is solved using Hooke's law which states that the extension or compression experienced by an elastic material is proportional the the force or load applied provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded.

$F=ke..................(1)$

where F is the force applied, k is the elastic constant and e is the extension of the material.

$e=l_1-l_o..................(2)$

were $l_o$ is the original length of the material and $l_1$ is its total length after extension.

Given;

F = 8.0N

$l_o=3cm\\l_1=5cm\\k=?$

therefore,

$e=5-3\\e=2cm$

substituting all necessary values into equation (1), we get;

$8=k*2\\k=\frac{8}{2}\\k=4N/cm$

The force required to give the spring a total length of 6cm is thus calculated;

in this case,

$l_1=6cm\\therefore\\e=6-3\\e=3cm$

hence F is given as follows;

$F=(4N/cm) *3cm\\F=12.0N$

1. A 0.40 kg ball is launched at a speed of 16 m/s from a 22 m cliff.

Masja [62]

Answer:

51.2 J, 86.2 J, 137.4 J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the ball is given by:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m = 0.40 kg is its mass

v = 16 m/s is its speed

Substituting,

$K=\frac{1}{2}(0.40)(16)^2=51.2 J$

The potential energy of the ball is given by

$U=mgh$

where

m = 0.40 kg

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

h = 22 m is the heigth of the cliff

Substituting,

$U=(0.40)(9.8)(22)=86.2 J$

Finally, the total mechanical energy is the sum of the kinetic energy and the potential energy:

$E=K+U=51.2 + 86.2=137.4 J$

A bicycle wheel with radius 0.3 m rotates from rest to 3 rev/s in 5 s. What is the magnitude and direction of the total accelera

AlekseyPX

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Radius of bicycle wheel $r=0.3\ m$

Initial angular velocity $\omega _0=0$

It rotates 3 revolution in 5 s therefore

$\omega =2\pi 3=\6\pi =18.85\ rad/s$

using $\omega =\omega _0+\alpha t$

where $\alpha =angular\ acceleration$

$\omega =Final\ angular\ velocity$

$t=time$

$\alpha =\frac{18.85}{5}=3.77 rad/s^2$

Total acceleration of any point will be a vector sum of tangential acceleration and centripetal acceleration

$\omega at t=1$

$\omega =0+3.77\times 1=3.77 rad/s$

$a_c=\omega ^2\cdot r$

$a_c=(3.77)^2\cdot 0.3=4.26 m/s^2$

Tangential acceleration $a_t=\alpha \times r$

$a_t=3.77\times 0.3=1.13 m/s^2$

$a_{net}=\sqrt{a_t^2+a_c^2}$

$a_{net}=\sqrt{(1.13)^2+(4.26)^2}$

$a_{net}=4.41 m/s^2$

Suppose astronomers built a 150-meter telescope. how much greater would its light-collecting area be than that of the 10-meter k

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Almost all telescopes have a circular mirror. The area of a circle is proportional to $r^2$ where $r$ is the radius of the circle, the constant of proportionality being $4\pi$
$S =4\pi r^2$
Therefore the area of 150 meter telescope would be
$S_1/S_2=(r_1/r_2)^2 =(75/5)^2 =15^2=225$
times bigger than the area of the smaller (10 meter) telescope.

A wooden block is sitting on an inclined plane near the bottom. The student gave the block a flick and it moved up the inclined

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The block didn't slide due to balancing of gravitational force with friction force

Explanation:

When the block was given a flick the force provided an acceleration to it and it moved up the inclined plane. when the block reached top it was expected that it would slide back but it didn't this happened because of the frictional force acting on the bottom the block which was balancing the gravitational force component along the plane and this prevented sliding back of the block.

static friction was balancing mg*sin(theta)

fs = mg*sin(theta)
