Answer:
2.80N/m
Explanation:
Given data
mass m= 56kg
perios T= 11.2s
The expression for the period is given as
T=2π√m/k
Substitute
11.2= 2*3.142*√56/k
square both sides
11.2^2= 2*3.142*56/k
125.44= 351.904/k
k=351.904/125.44
k= 2.80N/m
Hence the spring constant is 2.80N/m
Answer:
Gravity acts to pull the object down.
The object’s inertia carries it forward.
The path of the object is curved.
Explanation:
The motion of a projectile consists of two separate motions:
- A uniform motion along the horizontal direction, where the velocity is constant; since there are no forces along this direction, the velocity does not change, and so the object continues its motion for inertia --> so, the statement "The object’s inertia carries it forward" is true.
- A uniformly accelerated motion along the vertical direction, with a constant downward acceleration (g=9.8 m/s^2, acceleration due to gravity). So, the vertical velocity changes, due to the presence of the gravity that acts to pull the object down.
- As a result of the combination of these two motions, the object follows a curved path (in particular, it is a parabolic path).
Answer:
= 4.3 × 10 ⁻¹⁴ m
Explanation:
The alpha particle will be deflected when its kinetic energy is equal to the potential energy
Charge of the alpha particle q₁= 2 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C = 3.2 × 10⁻¹⁹ C
Charge of the gold nucleus q₂= 79 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ = 1.264 × 10⁻¹⁷C
Kinetic energy of the alpha particle = 5.28 × 10⁶ × 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ J ( 1 eV)
= 8.459 × 10⁻¹³
k electrostatic force constant = 9 × 10⁹ N.m²/c²
Kinetic energy = potential energy = k q₁q₂ / r where r is the closest distance the alpha particle got to the gold nucleus
r = ( 9 × 10⁹ N.m²/c² × 3.2 × 10⁻¹⁹ C × 1.264 × 10⁻¹⁷C) / 8.459 × 10⁻¹³
= 4.3 × 10 ⁻¹⁴ m
