A cylinder is fitted with a piston, beneath which is a spring, as in the drawing. The cylinder is open to the air at the top. Fr

iction is absent. The spring constant of the spring is 4900 N/m. The piston has a negligible mass and a radius of 0.029 m. (a) When the air beneath the piston is completely pumped out, how much does the atmospheric pressure cause the spring to compress

Answer:

x = 0.0537 m or 5.37 cm

Explanation:

Given:

spring constant'k'= 4900 N/m

radius 'r' =0.029 m

Area 'A' =r²π = 0.029²π => 2.6 x 10^{-3} m²

Here, Pressure 'P' is given by,

Pressure = Force / Area

And we know that, for a spring :

F = kx, where k is the spring constant and x is the change in length.

P = kx/A

As P = 101325 Pa

101325 = 4900x / ( 2.6 x 10^{-3})

x = 0.0537 m or 5.37 cm

Starburst galaxies:
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

are often associated with a galaxy that is colliding with another galaxy.

Explanation:

A starburst galaxy is a galaxy that undergoes very fast formation of stars. The rate at which stars are born is 100 times more than 3 solar masses per year of the Milky Way. The starburst is stage of the formation of a galaxy. After this stage is complete the stars will have used almost all the gas in it. As the star formation rate is very fast the difference between the age of the stars and the galaxy itself is very less. The star formation is triggered by mergers and tidal interactions between gas-rich galaxies.

A space probe is coasting through space at a steady speed of 100p feet per second. the booster rocket fires for 1/2 seconds so t
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Acceleration: 9800 ft/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is equal to the rate of change of velocity:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time taken for the velocity to change from u to v

For the space probe in this problem, we have:

u = 100 ft/s (initial velocity)

v = 5000 ft/s (final velocity)

t = 0.5 s (time taken)

Therefore, the acceleration is

a=\frac{5000-100}{0.5}=9800 ft/s^2
