Answer:

A) 35.5N/m b) 20.1cm

Explanation:

Using Hooke's law;

F = Ke where F is the weight of the object = mass of the object in kg * acceleration due to gravity in m/s^2 and k if the force constant of the spring in N/m and e is the extension of the spring which original length of the spring - new length after extension in meters

For the first body, m*g = K * (0.25- li)

Where li is the initial length of the spring

0.175*9.81 = k(0.25-li)

1.72 = k(0.25-li) as equation 1

For the second body, m *g = K* ( 0.775-li)

2.075*9.81 = k (0.775-li) equation 2

20.36 = k(0.775-li)

Make li subject of the formula;

li = 0.775 - 20.36/k

Substitute for li in equation 1

1.72 = k(0.25- (0.775 - 20.36/k))

1.72 = k ( 0.25 - 0.775 + 20.36/k)

Open the bracket with k

1.72 = 0.25k - 0.775k + 20.36 (since k cancel k)

Collect the like terms:

1.72 - 20.36 = - 0.525k

- 18.64 = -0.525k

Divide both side by -0.525

-18.64/-0.525 = -0.525/-0.525k

K = 35.5N/m

B) substitute for k in using

li = 0.775 - 20.36/k

li = 0.775 - 20.36/35.5

li = 0.775 - 0.574

li = 0.201 in meters

li = 0.201 * 100 centimeters = 20.1cm

The nebula hypothesis of the formation of the solar system assumes that the material that became the solar system began as a lar
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

According to the nebula hypothesis that explains the formation of solar system, there occurs changes in terms of its shape as well as the rate of rotation. It is because of the conservation of angular momentum.

The total angular momentum comprising a system remains same or constant, throughout its period of rotation in the absence of net torque. Due to the increasing density, the nebula eventually collapses, and these clouds of gases collides with one another and forms a large cloud. These clouds attains an average velocity and results in an orderly motion, which eventually take the shape of a disk. This is how with time, the sun and the planets have formed, comprising the solar system.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

Suppose a soccer ball is kicked from the ground at an angle 20.0º above the horizontal at 8.00 m/s. The y-velocity is determined
julia-pushkina [17]

initial speed of the ball by which it is kicked is 8 m/s

now the angle at which it is kicked is 20 degree

here we will have

v_y = v sin20

v_y = 8 sin20 = 2.74 m/s

now we will have

\Delta y = v_y t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

so if the ball again land on the ground at same level then we have

\Delta y = 0

0 = 2.74 t - \frac{1}{2}(9.8) t^2

0 = 2.74 - 4.9 t

t = 0.56 s

so total time will be 0.56 s
