Given Information:
Mass of sock = 0.23 kg
Stretched length of sock = x = 2.54 cm = 0.0254 m
Required Information:
Spring constant = k = ?
Answer:
Spring constant = k = 88.82 N/m
Explanation:
We know from the Hook's law that
F = kx
Where k is spring constant, F is the applied force and x is length of sock being stretched.
k = F/x
Where F is given by
F = mg
F = 0.23*9.81
F = 2.256 N
So the spring constant is
k = 2.256/0.0254
k = 88.82 N/m
Therefore, the spring constant of the sock is 88.82 N/m
Heat rises, and it is warmer at the equator, so I think warm air would rise at the equator and move towards the cooler poles.
mass is the same, weight is less because weight =mass ×gravity
Obesity is primarily caused by a lack of physical activity or by unhealthy dietary habits. The positive energy balance underlying obesity is generally attributed to chronic excess energy intake or reduced physical activity.
Answer:
A The force of air resistance becomes equal in magnitude to his weight.
Explanation:
When Carlos jumped out of the helicopter, he fell with a downward force which is proportional to his weight.
His weight is the product of his mass and acceleration due to gravity.
When the parachute is deployed, air resistance between the air molecules and the surface area of the parachute generates a drag force, which acts upwards.
If the drag forces exceeds his weight, then his net force will be directed upwards.
If his weight exceeds the drag forces, then the net force on his body will be downwards.
In the case that his drag force, and his weight are equal, there will be a zero net force on him, and he will experience no acceleration.
So, if after he opens his parachute, his acceleration due to gravity decreases to zero, then we can say that this is because the force of air resistance (drag) becomes equal in magnitude to his weight.
