If the springs are connected together from end to end, they are arranged in series. For springs in series, the forces are additive. 

Spring 1: F1 = k1(Δx1)
Spring 2: F2 = k2(Δx2)
Spring 1: F3 = k3(Δx3)

Total Force = k1(Δx1)+k2(Δx2)+k3(Δx3)
Total Force = (k1+k2+k3)(Δx,total)

The spring constants are added together and multiplied with the total length of elongation to find the total force acting on it.

Ainat [17]

Answer:

The asteroid's acceleration at this point is 2.71\ m/s^2

Explanation:

The equation that governs the trajectory of asteroid is given by :

x=6.5t-2.3t^3

The velocity of asteroid is given by :

v=\dfrac{dx}{dt}\\\\v=\dfrac{d(6.5t-2.3t^3)}{dt}\\\\v=6.5-6.9t^2

At some point during the trip across the screen, the asteroid is at rest. It means, v = 0

So,

6.5-6.9t^2=0\\\\t=0.971\ s                      

Acceleration,

a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}\\\\a=\dfrac{d(6.5-6.9t^2)}{dt}\\\\a=-13.8t                        

Put t = 0.971 s

a=-13.8\times 0.197\\\\a=-2.71\ m/s^2

So, the asteroid's acceleration at this point is 2.71\ m/s^2 and it is decelerating.

An electric generator converts kinetic energy into which kind of energy?
dem82 [27]

Answer:

Electrical Energy

Explanation:

An electric generator is a device that changes kinetic energy to electrical energy through electromagnetic induction. Electromagnetic induction is the process of generating electric current with a magnetic field. ... Because the coil is rotating in a magnetic field, electric current is generated in the wire.

Light is incident along the normal to face AB of a glass prism of refractive index 1.54. Find αmax, the largest value the angle
marusya05 [52]

To solve this problem it is necessary to use the concepts related to Snell's law.

Snell's law establishes that reflection is subject to

n_1sin\theta_1 = n_2sin\theta_2

Where,

\theta = Angle between the normal surface at the point of contact

n = Indices of refraction for corresponding media

The total internal reflection would then be given by

n_1 sin\theta_1 = n_2sin\theta_2

(1.54) sin\theta_1 = (1.33)sin(90)

sin\theta_1 = \frac{1.33}{1.54}

\theta = sin^{-1}(\frac{1.33}{1.54})

\theta = 59.72\°

Therefore the \alpha_{max} would be equal to

\alpha = 90\°-\theta

\alpha = 90-59.72

\alpha = 30.27\°

Therefore the largest value of the angle α is 30.27°
