Answer:

320 N/m

Explanation:

From Hooke's law, we deduce that

F=kx where F is applied force, k is spring constant and x is extension or compression of spring

Making k the subject of formula then

$k=\frac {F}{x}$

Conversion

1m equals to 100cm

Xm equals 25 cm

25/100=0.25 m

Substituting 80 N for F and 0.25m for x then

$k=\frac {80}{0.25}=320N/m$

Therefore, the spring constant is equal to 320 N/m

A bug flying horizontally at 0.65 m/s collides and sticks to the end of a uniform stick hanging vertically. After the impact, th

irina [24]

The angular momentum is defined as,

$L=I\omega$

Acording to this text we know for conservation of angular momentum that

$L_i=L_f$

Where $L_i$ is initial momentum

$L_f$ is the final momentum

How there is a difference between the stick mass and the bug mass, we define that

Mass of the bug= m

Mass of the stick=10m

At the point 0 we have that,

$L_i=mvl$

Where l is the lenght of the stick which is also the perpendicular distance of the bug's velocity

vector from the point of reference (O), and ve is the velocity

At the end with the collition we have

$L_f=(I_b+I_s)\omega$

Substituting

$L_f=(ml^2+\frac{10ml^2}{3})\omega$

$L_f=\frac{13}{10}ml^2w$

$m(0.65)l=\frac{13}{10}ml^2 \omega$

$\omega=\frac{1}{2l}$

Applying conservative energy equation we have

$\frac{1}{2}(I_b+I_s)\omega^2=mgh+10mgh'$

$\frac{1}{2}(ml^2+\frac{10ml^2}{3})(\frac{1}{2l})^2=mg(l-lcos\theta)+\frac{10}{2}mg(l-lcos\theta)$

Replacing the values and solving

$l=\frac{13}{0.54g}$

Substituting

l=\frac{13}{0.54(9.8)}

$l=2.45cm$

A group of students prepare for a robotic competition and build a robot that can launch large spheres of mass M in the horizonta

jeyben [28]

Answer:

$V_0$

Explanation:

Given that, the range covered by the sphere, $M$ , when released by the robot from the height, $H$ , with the horizontal speed $V_0$ is $D$ as shown in the figure.

The initial velocity in the vertical direction is $0$ .

Let $g$ be the acceleration due to gravity, which always acts vertically downwards, so, it will not change the horizontal direction of the speed, i.e. $V_0$ will remain constant throughout the projectile motion.

So, if the time of flight is $t$ , then

$D=V_0t\; \cdots (i)$

Now, from the equation of motion

$s=ut+\frac 1 2 at^2\;\cdots (ii)$

Where $s$ is the displacement is the direction of force, $u$ is the initial velocity, $a$ is the constant acceleration and $t$ is time.

Here, $s= -H, u=0,$ and $a=-g$ (negative sign is for taking the sigh convention positive in $+y$ direction as shown in the figure.)

So, from equation (ii),

$-H=0\times t +\frac 1 2 (-g)t^2$

$\Rightarrow H=\frac 1 2 gt^2$

$\Rightarrow t=\sqrt {\frac {2H}{g}}\;\cdots (iii)$

Similarly, for the launched height $2H$ , the new time of flight, $t'$ , is

$t'=\sqrt {\frac {4H}{g}}$

From equation (iii), we have

$\Rightarrow t'=\sqrt 2 t\;\cdots (iv)$

Now, the spheres may be launched at speed $V_0$ or $2V_0$ .

Let, the distance covered in the $x-$ direction be $D_1$ for $V_0$ and $D_2$ for $2V_0$ , we have

$D_1=V_0t'$

$D_1=V_0\times \sqrt 2 t$ [from equation (iv)]

$\Rightarrow D_1=\sqrt 2 D$ [from equation (i)]

$\Rightarrow D_1=1.41 D$ (approximately)

This is in the $3$ points range as given in the figure.

Similarly, $D_2=2V_0t'$

$D_2=2V_0\times \sqrt 2 t$ [from equation (iv)]

$\Rightarrow D_2=2\sqrt 2 D$ [from equation (i)]

$\Rightarrow D_2=2.82 D$ (approximately)

This is out of range, so there is no point for $2V_0$ .

Hence, students must choose the speed $V_0$ to launch the sphere to get the maximum number of points.

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer: B. development of female sex

Development of female sex characteristic is not associated with the amount of cortisol in the body.

Explanation:

Cortisol is a steroid hormone secreted by the adrenal gland. It facilitates stress response, regulates blood sugar level and helps fight infections. High cortisol level leads to Cushing syndrome and low cortisol level leads to Addison disease.

Obesity is a symptom of Cushing syndrome while weight loss is a symptom of Addison disease. Thus levels of cortisol can affect body weight as well. When in a stressful situation, our body pumps excess cortisol.

Cortisol level in our body is generally high in the mornings and low in the midnight.

$\\ \bull\sf\dashrightarrow a\propto\dfrac{1}{m}$

$\\ \bull\sf\dashrightarrow a\propto F$

Lower mass=Higher acceleration
Lower Force=Lower Acceleration

Option B has lowest mass and highest force hence its correct
