The spring force = kx = mg.
k is spring constant = 200 N/m
x is the spring elongation = 0.2 m
F = 200×0.2= 40 N
Now, F = mg wil be the weight of the object
Thus, weight is 40 N.
Thus, now we can also find the mass of object, m = F/g = 40 N/9.8
Because g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/sec ^2
m = 4.08 kg

N capacitors are connected in parallel to form a "capacitor circuit". The capacitance of first capacitor is C, second one is C/2
liberstina [14]

Answer:

2C

Explanation:

The equivalent capacitance of a parallel combination of capacitors is the sum of their capacitance.

So, if the capacitance of each capacitor is half the previous one, we have a geometric series with first term = C and rate = 0.5.

Using the formula for the sum of the infinite terms of a geometric series, we have:

Sum = First term / (1 - rate)

Sum = C / (1 - 0.5)

Sum = C / 0.5 = 2C

So the equivalent capacitance of this parallel connection is 2C.

Question 5 At 12:00 pm, a spaceship is at position ⎡⎣324⎤⎦ km ⎣ ⎢ ⎡ ​ 3 2 4 ​ ⎦ ⎥ ⎤ ​ km away from the origin with respect to so
Anettt [7]

Answer:

[1, 6, -2]

Explanation:

Given the following :

Initial Position of spaceship : [3 2 4] km

Velocity of spaceship : [-1 2 - 3] km/hr

Location of ship after two hours have passed :

Distance moved by spaceship :

Velocity × time

[-1 2 -3] × 2 = [-2 4 -6]

Location of ship after two hours :

Initial position + distance moved

[3 2 4] + [-2 4 -6] = [3 + (-2)], [2 + 4], [4 + (-6)]

= [3-2, 2+4, 4-6] = [1, 6, -2]

If a player through a basketball to the target with an initial velocity of 17 m/s making an angle of 30 degrees with the horizon
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

The final position made with the vertical is 2.77 m.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the ball, V = 17 m/s

angle of projection, θ = 30⁰

time of motion, t = 1.3 s

The vertical component of the velocity is calculated as;

V_y = Vsin \theta\\\\V_y = 17 \times sin(30)\\\\V_y = 8.5 \ m/s

The final position made with the vertical (Yf) after 1.3 seconds is calculated as;

Y_f = V_yt  - \frac{1}{2}g t^2\\\\Y_f = (8.5 \times 1.3 ) - (\frac{1}{2} \times 9.8 \times 1.3^2)\\\\Y_f = 11.05 \ - \ 8.281\\\\Y_f = 2.77 \ m

Therefore, the final position made with the vertical is 2.77 m.

Two identical satellites are in orbit about the earth. One orbit has a radius r and the other 2r. The centripetal force on the s
velikii [3]

Answer:

the centripetal force on the satellite in the larger orbit is _one fourth_ as that on the satellite in the smaller orbit.

Explanation:

Mass of satellite, m

orbit radius of first, r1 = r

orbit radius of second, r2  = 2r

Centripetal force is given by

F= \frac{mv^{2}}{r}

Where v be the orbital velocity, which is given by

v=\sqrt{gr}

So, the centripetal force is given by

F= \frac{mgr}}{r}}=mg

where, g bet the acceleration due to gravity

g=\frac{GM}{r^{2}}

So, the centripetal force

F= \frac{GMm}}{r^{2}}}

Gravitational force on the satellite having larger orbit

F= \frac{GMm}{4r^{2}} .... (1)

Gravitational force on the satellite having smaller orbit

F'= \frac{GMm}{r^{2}} .... (2)

Comparing (1) and (2),

F' = 4 F

So, the centripetal force on the satellite in the larger orbit is _one fourth_ as that on the satellite in the smaller orbit.
