Answer:

The period of motion is 0.5 second.

Explanation:

Given;

extension of the spring, x = 3.8 cm = 0.038 m

mass of the object, m = 13 g = 0.013 kg

Determine the force constant of the spring, k;

F = kx

k = F / x

k = mg / x

k = (0.013 x 9.8) / 0.038

k = 3.353 N/m

When the object is replaced with a block of mass 20 g, the period of motion is calculated as;

$T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } \\\\T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{0.02}{3.353} } \\\\T = 0.5 \ second$

Therefore, the period of motion is 0.5 second.

The short answer (and the long one for that matter) is physical properties of chemicals. If you are being marked by a machine, likely the answer is going to be physical properties.

using hooke's law, f spring = k triangle x, find the elastic constant of a spring that stretches 2 cm when a 4 newton force is a

Ksivusya [100]

As we know that spring force is given as

$F = kx$

here we know that

F = 4 N

x = 2 cm = 0.02 m

now from the above equation we will have

$4 = k(0.02)$

$k = 200 N/m$

so the elastic constant of the spring will be 200 N/m

81. A 560-g squirrel with a surface area of 930cm2 falls from a 5.0-m tree to the ground. Estimate its terminal velocity. (Use a

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of squirrel $m=560 gm$

Surface area of squirrel $A=930 cm^2$

and the area which face $A_f=\frac{A}{2}=465 cm^2$

height of tree $h=5 m$

Coefficient of drag $C=1$

drag Force $F_d=\frac{1}{2}C\cdot \rho \cdot A\cdot v^2$

Terminal velocity is given

$F_d=mg$

$\frac{1}{2}C\cdot \rho \cdot A\cdot v^2=mg$

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2\times m\times g}{\rho \times C\times A_f}}$

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 0.560\times 9.8}{1.2\times 1\times 465\times 10^{-4}}}$

$v=13.9 m/s$

(b)Mass of person $m=56 kg$

$v^2-u^2=2gh$

$u=0$

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

$v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 5}$

$v=9.89 m/s$
