The stretch of the spring is
\Delta x = 0.4 m-0.3 m=0.1 m
The constant of the spring is k=15 N/m, so we can find the force produced by the weight by using Hook's law:
F=k\Delta x=(15 N/m)(0.1 m)=1.5 N

A 72 kg skydiver is descending on a parachute. His speed is still increasing at 1.2 m/s2. What are the magnitude and direction o
denis23 [38]

Answer:

Parachute exerts a force of 619.2 N upward

The net force is 86.4 N acting downward

Explanation:

As the gravitational acceleration g = 9.8 m/s2, the parachute help reduces the net acceleration to 1.2m/s. So it must exerted an upward acceleration on the skydiver of

9.8 - 1.2 = 8.6 m/s2

Since the skydiver mass is 72 kg, we can use Newton's 2nd law to calculate the force that causes this acceleration of 8.6

F = ma = 8.6*72 = 619.2 N acting upward

The net force is also the product of net acceleration and mass

= 1.2 * 72 = 86.4 N acting downward

a satellite is traveling in a orbit around the earth. what change would cause it to experience more gravitational force from the
never [62]
The correct answer is:
<span>A. orbiting closer to the earths surface. 

In fact, the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the satellite is
</span>F=G \frac{Mm}{r^2}
<span>where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the Earth mass
m is the satellite mass
r is the distance of the satellite from the Earth's surface

We can see that, if the satellite orbits closer to the Earth's surface, its distance r from the centre of the planet decreases. But when r decreases, F (the gravitational force) increases, so A is the correct answer.</span>

When a plane flies with the​ wind, it can travel 1575 miles in 3.5 hours. when the plane flies in the opposite​ direction, again
Zepler [3.9K]

When plane is flying along the wind then we can say

V_{plane} + v_{wind} = \frac{distance}{time}

V_{plane} + v_{wind} = \frac{1575}{3.5}

V_{plane} + v_{wind} = 450 mph

Now when its going against the wind the speed is given by

V_{plane} - v_{wind} = \frac{distance}{time}

V_{plane} - v_{wind} = \frac{1575}{4.5}

V_{plane} - v_{wind} = 350 mph

Now by the above two equations we will have

V_{plane} = 400 mph

v_{wind} = 50 mph

two equal and unlike parallel forces of magnitude 34N act on a rigid body,such that the moment of couple is 8.50 Nm. calculate t
goldfiish [28.3K]

The moment of a couple is Force × perpendicular distance from the arm of the line of action

so the arm of the couple= moment of couple/force=8.5/34=0.25m

the arm is 0.25m
