Answer:

4.9 N/m

Explanation:

m = 0.1 kg

x = 0.2 m

Let k be the spring constant.

As teh weight is balanced by the tension in the spring

Weight = force = mass x acceleration due to gravity

F = m x g = 0.1 x 9.8 = 0.98 N

This force si balanced by spring force

F = k x

Where, k be the spring constant and x be the displacement in spring

0.98 = k (0.2)

k = 4.9 N/m

A horizontal force of 750 N is needed to overcome the force of static friction between a level floor and a 250-kg crate. What is
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

The acceleration of the crate is 1.8 m/s² so the answer is a.

Explanation:

The very first thing you must do when solving this problem is to draw a free body diagram. (The body diagram is attached to this answer)

So once we got the free body diagram, we can analyze it and build our sum of forces in the x and y directions. Notice that according to the diagram, there are 4 forces to this problem, Normal (N), Weight (W), kinetic friction (fk) and the 750N force.

As one may see in the free body diagram, two of the forces are vertical forces: N and W, so we can use them to build a sum of forces:

Starting with the sum of forces in the y-direction, we get:

ΣF_{y}=0

We set the sum equal to zero because there is no movement in the y-direction, so the system is in vertical equilibrium.

so the sum will be:

N-W=0

when solving for N we get that:

N=W

where W is found by multiplying the mass of the crate by the acceleration of gravity:

N=250kg*9.8m/s²

N=2450N

Once we found the normal force, we can use it to find the kinetic friction which is given by the following formula:

f_{k}=Nμ

where μ is the kinetic friction coefficient.

So we get that the kinetic friction is:

f_{k}=2450N*0.12

so

f_{k}=294

With this information we can go ahead and find the sum of horizontal forces:

ΣF_{x}=ma

In this case the sum is equal to mass times acceleration because the crate is moving horizontally due to the action of a force, so it will have an acceleration.

so the sum of forces look like this:

750N-f_{k}=ma

so

750N-294N=(250kg)a

when solving for a we get:

a=\frac{759N-294N}{250kg}\\ \\a=1.8m/s^{2}

so the crate's acceleration is 1.82m/s².

You weigh 716 newtons on Earth. You
Otrada [13]

Answer:

537 N

Explanation:

The force due to gravity of a planet is:

F = GMm / r²

where G is the universal gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet

m is the mass of the object

and r is the distance between the object and the center of the planet

On Earth, you weigh 716 N, so:

716 N = GMm / r²

On planet X:

F = G (3M) m / (2r)²

F = 3/4 GMm / r²

F = 3/4 (716 N)

F = 537 N

a typical cmall flashlight contains two batteries each having na emf of 2.0 v connected in series with a bulb havin ga resistanc
Helen [10]

Answer:

P = 0.25 W

Explanation:

Given that,

The emf of the battry, E = 2 V

The resistance of a bulb, R = 16 ohms

We need to find the power delivered to the bulb. We know that, the formula for the power delivered is given by :

P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}\\\\P=\dfrac{2^2}{16}\\\\=0.25\ W

So, 0.25 W power is delivered to the bulb.
