If the window is 11 m above the ground, find the time the stone is in flight.
rjkz [21]
d=vi*t+(1/2)gt²

d=11 m
g=9.8 m/s²
vi=0 m/s

11 m=0 m/s*t+(1/2)9.8 m/s²t²
11 m=4.9 m/s²t²
t²=11 m / 4.9 m/s²
t=√(11 m / 4.9 m/s²)=1.489... s≈1.5 s

Answer: the time the sone is in flight is 1.5 s

Consider two massless springs connected in parallel. Springs 1 and 2 have spring constants k1 and k2 and are connected via a thi
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

k1 + k2

Explanation:

Spring 1 has spring constant k1

Spring 2 has spring constant k2

After being applied by the same force, it is clearly mentioned that spring are extended by the same amount i.e. extension of spring 1 is equal to extension of spring 2.

x1 = x2

Since the force exerted to each spring might be different, let's assume F1 for spring 1 and F2 for spring 2. Hence the equations of spring constant for both springs are

k1 = F1/x -> F1 =k1*x

k2 = F2/x -> F2 =k2*x

While F = F1 + F2

Substitute equation of F1 and F2 into the equation of sum of forces

F = F1 + F2

F = k1*x + k2*x

= x(k1 + k2)

Note that this is applicable because both spring have the same extension of x (I repeat, EXTENTION, not length of the spring)

Considering the general equation of spring forces (Hooke's Law) F = kx,

The effective spring constant for the system is k1 + k2
