Answer:

a = 64 ft / s²

Explanation:

The force in a spring is given by Hooke's law

          F = -k x

Let's use the initial data to calculate the spring constant

         k = F / x

Reduscate to the English system

          x = 3 in (1foot/12 in) =0.25 foot

         k = 0.3 / 0.25

         k = 1.2  lb / foot

Now we can use Newton's second law

        F = ma

        a = F / m

        a = -k x / m

        m = w / g

        m = 0.3 / 32 = 0.009375

         x= 6 in (1foot /12 in)= 0.5 foot

        a = - 1.2  0.5  / 0.009375

        a = 64 ft / s²

You attach a 1.70 kg block to a horizontal spring that is fixed at one end. You pull the block until the spring is stretched by
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

maximum speed of the block is 3.14 m/s

Explanation:

given data

mass = 1.70 kg

stretch in the spring = 0.2 m

time take by block to come to zero  t = 0.2 s

solution

we know that Time period of oscillation (T) that is express as

T = 2t    ......................1

put here value

T = 2 (0.2)

T = 0.4 s

so here time period is express as

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}     ................2

here k is spring constant of the spring so  put here value

0.4  =  2(\pi ) \sqrt{\frac{1.70}{k}}  

here k will be

k = 419.02 N/m

so we use here conservation of energy that is

Maximum kinetic energy = Maximum spring potential energy   ............3

(0.5) m v² = (0.5) k x²

here v is maximum speed block

so put here value and we get

(1.70) v² = (419.02) (0.2)²

v = 3.14 m/s

so maximum speed of the block is 3.14 m/s

What is the function of the brain?
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

It assembles the messages in a way that has meaning for us, and can store that information in our memory. The brain controls our thoughts, memory and speech, movement of the arms and legs, and the function of many organs within our body. The central nervous system (CNS) is composed of the brain and spinal cord.Explanation:

A ball is thrown from the top of one building toward a tall building 50 m away. The initial velocity of the ball is 20 m/s at 40
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Ball hit the tall building 50 m away below 10.20 m its original level

Explanation:

Horizontal speed = 20 cos40 = 15.32 m/s

Horizontal displacement = 50 m

Horizontal acceleration = 0 m/s²

Substituting in s = ut + 0.5at²

    50 = 15.32 t + 0.5 x 0 x t²

     t = 3.26 s

Now we need to find how much vertical distance ball travels in 3.26 s.

Initial vertical speed  = 20 sin40 = 12.86 m/s

Time = 3.26 s

Vertical acceleration = -9.81 m/s²

Substituting in s = ut + 0.5at²

    s = 12.86 x 3.26 + 0.5 x -9.81 x 3.26²

    s = -10.20 m

So ball hit the tall building 50 m away below 10.20 m its original level
