An ideal spring is fixed at one end. A variable force F pulls on the spring. When the magnitude of F reaches a value of 49.8 N,

the spring is stretched by 18.1 cm from its equilibrium length. Calculate the additional work required by F to stretch the spring by an additional 10.9 cm from that position.

Answer:

W = 7.06 J

Explanation:

From the given information the spring constant 'k' can be calculated using the Hooke's Law.

F = kx\\49.8 = k(0.181)\\k = 275.13~N/m

Now, using this spring constant the additional work required by F to stretch the spring can be found.

The work energy theorem tells us that the work done on the spring is equal to the change in the energy. Therefore,

W = U_2 - U_1\\W = \frac{1}{2}kx_2^2 - \frac{1}{2}kx_1^2 = \frac{1}{2}(275.13)[0.29^2 - 0.18^2] = 7.06~J

What object best represents a true scale model of the shape of earth?
BabaBlast [244]
Any object that is spherical in shape would best represent a true scale model of the shape of the Earth. Examples are ping pong balls, billiard balls, marble and other smooth spherical objects. The shape of the Earth is called the oblate spheroid. The "oblate" would refer to an oblong shape and "spheroid" would refer to an almost spherical shape. The earth has on almost spherical shape and has a slightly oblong appearance. The diameter from the South pole to the north pole was measured to have a value of 12714 km while the diameter of the equator is approximately 12756 km. As you can see, the values are not equal. This makes the earth not a perfect sphere.

Copernicus incorrectly assumed that the planets?
hammer [34]
Nicholas Copernicus correctly assumed that the planets revolved around the sun but he incorrectly assumed that the planets followed a perfect circle orbit around the sun. It was later on discovered by Johannes Kepler that the planets moved around the sun following an elliptical orbit.

The number of mushrooms needed by a pizza restaurant is given by the
kupik [55]

Answer: 24

Explanation:

Given the following equation:

g=3n

Where g is the number of mushrooms in a pizza and n the number of pizzas.

If we know the restaurant will make 8 pizzas (n=8), then:

g=3(8)

g=24 This is the needed number of mushrooms for 8 pizzas

On Mars, the acceleration due to gravity is 3.77 m / s 2 . 3.77 m/s2. How far would a 15 g 15 g rock fall from rest in 2.5 s 2.5
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

s = 11.78 m

Explanation:

given,

acceleration due to gravity, g = 3.77 m/s²

mass of the rock = 15 g

time = 2.5 s

distance traveled = ?

using equation of motion

s = ut +\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

initial speed = 0 m/s

s = \dfrac{1}{2}at^2

s = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 3.77 \times 2.5^2

s = 11.78 m

distance traveled by the rock is equal to 11.78 m.

Tina is driving her sports car down US1, traveling 27m/s. She sees her friend Rita up ahead, waiting to cross the street at the
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

434 Hz

Explanation:

According to the Doppler effect, when a source of a wave is moving towards an observer at rest, then the observer will observe an apparent frequency which is higher than the original frequency of the source.

In this situation, Tina is driving towards Rita. Tina is the source of the sound wave (the horn), while RIta is the observer. Since the original frequency of the sound is 400 Hz, Rita will hear a sound with a frequency higher than this value.

The only choice which is higher than 400 Hz is 434 Hz, so this is the frequency that Rita will hear.
