Energy in a spring:

E = 0.5 * k * x²

k spring constant = 800 n/m
x stretch of the spring = 5 cm = 0.05 m

E = 0.5 * 800 * 0.05² = 1

Given parameters:

Mass on earth = 50kg

Unknown:

Mass on planet Xenon = ?

Weight on planet Xenon = ?

Mass is the amount of matter contained in a particular substance.

Weight is the force on a body and it is derived from the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity.

Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Planet Xenon has half the gravitational force of Earth.

This translated gives $\frac{9.8}{2}$ = 4.9m/s²

Now, mass is always the same every where if the amount of matter in a substance does not change.

In this problem, mass = 50kg on planet xenon.

Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity = 50 x 4.9 = 245N

The weight on Xenon is 245N and the mass is 50kg

Why do raindrops fall with a constant speed during the later stages of their descents?

BartSMP [9]

Firstly they have a acceleration downwards due the force downwards due they gravitational field acting on it's mass.
as it falls it gains speed, and as it gains speed the air Resistance which is a upward force actin on the drop increases, eventually the rain drop's upward and downward forces are balanced and hence there is no RESULTANT force therefore no acceleration, so the drops falls in constant speed (terminal verlocity is a better term)

Are you wondering that why is the raindrop still moving given that the forces are balanced? If so according to Newton's 1st law an object will keep moving or Remain at rest until a RESULTANT force acts on it.

A pulsar is a rapidly rotating neutron star that emits a radio beam the way a lighthouse emits a light beam. We receive a radio

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

$\alpha =-2.2669642\times^{-10}rad/s^2$

Explanation:

Angular acceleration is defined by $\alpha =\frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t}=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{\Delta t}$

Angular velocity is related to the period by $\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}$

Putting all together:

$\alpha =\frac{\frac{2\pi}{T_f}-\frac{2\pi}{T_i}}{\Delta t}=\frac{2\pi}{\Delta t}(\frac{1}{T_f}-\frac{1}{T_i})$

Taking our initial (i) point now and our final (f) point one year later, we would have:

$\Delta t=1\ year=(365)(24)(60)(60)s=31536000
s$

$T_i=0.0786s$

$T_f=0.0786s+7.03\times10^{-6}s$

So for our values we have:

$\alpha =\frac{2\pi}{\Delta t}(\frac{1}{T_f}-\frac{1}{T_i})=\frac{2\pi}{31536000s}(\frac{1}{0.0786s+7.03\times10^{-6}s}-\frac{1}{0.0786s})=-2.2669642\times^{-10}rad/s^2$

Where the minus sign indicates it is decelerating.

A) A mass spectrometer has a velocity selector that allows ions traveling at only one speed to pass with no deflection through s

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

(A). The speed of the ions is $1.2\times10^{6}\ m/s$

(B). The radius of curvature of a singly charged lithium ion is $2.0\times10^{6}\ m$

Explanation:

Given that,

Electric field = 60000 N/C

Magnetic field = 0.0500 T

(A). We need to calculate the velocity

For no deflection

$F_{E}=F_{B}$

$Eq=Bqv$

$v = \dfrac{E}{B}$

$v=\dfrac{60000}{0.0500}$

$v=1.2\times10^{6}\ m/s$

(B). We need to calculate the radius

Using magnetic force balance by centripetal force

$Bqv=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$r=\dfrac{mv^2}{Bqv}$

Put the value into the formula

$r=\dfrac{1.16\times10^{-26}\times(1.2\times10^{6})^2}{0.0500\times1.6\times10^{-19}}$

$r=2.0\times10^{6}\ m$

Hence, (A). The speed of the ions is $1.2\times10^{6}\ m/s$

(B). The radius of curvature of a singly charged lithium ion is $2.0\times10^{6}\ m$

Why were phonograph records placed on the sides of the two voyager spacecraft launched in the 1970s?

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The reason for phonograph installation is to provide information about humans to interstellar aliens.

Explanation:

Phonographs are archaic forms of gramophone which are able to record and reproduce sound.Phonographs were used in early days in voyagers to help transmit information about humans to nearby alien species in space.
