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

A spacecraft is moving past the earth at a constant speed of 0.60 times the speed of light. The astronaut measures the time inte
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

the time interval that an earth observer measures is 4 seconds

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

speed of the spacecraft as it moves past the is 0.6 times the speed of light

we know that speed of light c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

so speed of spacecraft v = 0.6 × c = 0.6c

time interval between ticks of the spacecraft clock Δt₀ = 3.2 seconds

Now, from time dilation;

t = Δt₀ / √( 1 - ( v² / c² ) )

t = Δt₀ / √( 1 - ( v/c )² )

we substitute

t = 3.2 / √( 1 - ( 0.6c / c )² )

t = 3.2 / √( 1 - ( 0.6 )² )

t = 3.2 / √( 1 - 0.36 )

t = 3.2 / √0.64

t = 3.2 / 0.8

t = 4 seconds

Therefore, the time interval that an earth observer measures is 4 seconds

3. Consider a locomotive and the rest of a freight train to be a single object. Suppose the locomotive is pulling the train up a
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Action - Pulling up the train.

Reaction - Friction on the locomotive

Explanation:

Locomotive is pulling the train upwards ,

Which is the action force applied by the locomotive,

As a reaction locomotive will be pulled by the train which is the reaction of pulling

Now, considering it as a action on locomotive , friction force will act on it as a reaction upwards which will result to move it upwards.

For train action is pulling up by locomotive and reaction will be friction acting on it downwards.

(20) A rocket is launched vertically. At time t = 0 seconds, the rocket’s engine shuts down. At the time, the rocket has reached
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

h(t) = -9.8t² / 2 + 125t + 500

for t > 0.

At t = 0, the rocket is at height h = 500m, at a velocity of Vo = 125m/s.

We want to find the maximum height reached by rocket

Using mathematics maxima and minima

let find the turning point when dh/dt = 0

dh/dt = -9.8t + 125

dh / dt = 0 = -9.8t + 125

9.8t = 125

t = 125 / 9.8

t = 12.76s

Let find the turning point to know if this time t = 12.76 is maximum or minimum point

Let find d²h / dt²

d²h / dt² = -9.8

Since, d²h/dt² < 0, then, at t = 12.76s is the maximum points.

Then, the maximum height reached is

h =  -9.8t² / 2 + 125t + 500

h =  -9.8(12.76)² / 2 + 125(12.76) + 500

h = -797.80 + 1595 + 500

h = 1297.2 m

The maximum height reached is 1297.2 m

From the attachment, the maximum height is 1297.2m at t = 12.76sec.

Comment, the result are the same for both the analysis aspect and the graphical aspect.
