Hi there!

1.

Hooke's law states that:

F = -kx

k = Spring constant (N/m)

x = DISPLACEMENT from equilibrium (m)

Essentially, the force of a spring is PROPORTIONAL to its spring constant and its displacement from its equilibrium point.

2.

The force of the spring (T) is not proportional to the spring's length (l), but rather its DISPLACEMENT from its equilibrium length. (Δl)

3.

The equilibrium length is where the force of the spring (T) = 0N. Looking at the graph, the line intersects this value at l = 30cm.

4.

We can begin by looking at the given graph.

When the spring force = 4N, the total length of the spring is 35 cm.

Now, the EQUILIBRIUM length is 30 cm, so the total elongation is:

35 - 30 = 5 cm.

5.1.

If the spring elongates by 10 cm, the total length of the spring is:

30 + 10 = 40 cm

According to the graph, a length of 40 cm corresponds to a force of 8N.

5.2.

We can solve for the weight of the ball using the following:

W (weight) = m (mass) · acceleration due to gravity (10N/kg)

Using a summation of forces:

∑F = T - W

The elongation that we are solving for occurs at the equilibrium point (net force = 0 N), so:

0 = T - W

T = W = 8 N

5.3.

0 = T - Mg

T = Mg

Use the prior value of T and gravity to solve:

8 = 10M

m = 0.8 kg

Why is silicon needed in solar panels?
kodGreya [7K]
Hi, silicon is essential in solar panels because, silicon is a semiconductor material (meaning a solid substance that has a conductivity of an insulator and is an essential component of most electric circuits ) now, when dipped with impurities such as gallium and arsenic it has the ability to capture the suns energy and convert to electricity. hope this is helpful if it is than put a thank you plz.

In the combo circuit diagrammed, R1 = 19.2 Ω, R2 = 20.7 Ω, and R3 = 25.8 Ω. Find the equivalent resistance of the circuit.
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Equivalent resistance: 13.589 Ω

Explanation:

R series = R1 + R2 + R3 ...

\frac{1}{R_{eq} } = \frac{1}{R1} +\frac{1}{R2} +\frac{1}{R3} ...

Find the equivalent resistance of the right branch of the circuit:

R_{eq}  = R_{2} +R_{3} \\R_{eq} = 20.7 + 25.8 = 46.5 ohms

\frac{1}{R_{eq} } = \frac{1}{19.2} +\frac{1}{46.5}\\\\\frac{1}{R_{eq} } = 0.0735887097\\\\R_{eq} = 13.5890411

Serhud [2]

Answer:

1362000 kgm/s

Explanation:

So the total mass combination of the plane and the people inside it is

M = 35000 + 160*65 = 45400 kg

After 15 seconds at an acceleration of 2 m/s2, the plane speed would be

V = 2*15 = 30 m/s

So the magnitude of the plane 15s after brakes are released is

MV = 45400 * 30 = 1362000 kgm/s
