Answer: a scientific law

Explanation:

Scientific law can be define as the statement which is based upon repeated experiments and observations. It describes the aspects of the natural world. It can be useful in describing the observed patterns that are found in nature. It is not an explanatory approach and but can be used to predict the range of natural phenomena.

A mass of 0.5 kg hangs motionless from a vertical spring whose length is 1.10 m and whose unstretched length is 0.50 m. Next the

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

The maximum length during the motion is $L_{max} = 1.45m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass is $m =0.5 kg$

The vertical spring length is $L = 1.10m$

The unstretched length is $L_{un} = 1.30m$

The initial speed is $v_i = 1.3m/s$

The new length of the spring $L_{new} = 1.30 m$

The spring constant k is mathematically represented as

$k = -\frac{F}{y}$

Where F is the force applied $= m * g = 0.5 * 9.8=4.9N$

y is the difference in weight which is $=1.10-0.50=0.6m$

The negative sign is because the displacement of the spring (i.e its extension occurs against the force F)

Now substituting values accordingly

$k = \frac{4.9}{0.6}$

$= 8.17 N/m$

The elastic potential energy is given as $E_{PE} = \frac{1}{2} k D^2$

where D is this the is the displacement

Since Energy is conserved the total elastic potential energy would be

$E_T = initial \ elastic\ potential \ energy + kinetic \ energy$

$E_T = \frac{1}{2} k D_{max}^2 = \frac{1}{2} k D^2 + \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Substituting value accordingly

$\frac{1}{2} *8.17 *D_{max}^2 =\frac{1}{2} * 8.17*(1.30 - 0.50)^2 + \frac{1}{2} * 0.5 *1.30^2$

$4.085 * D_{max}^2 = 3.69$

$D^2_{max} = 0.9033$

$D_{max} = 0.950m$

So to obtain total length we would add the unstretched length

So we have

$L_{max} = 0.950 + 0.5 = 1.45m$

A 6.89-nC charge is located 1.76 m from a 4.10-nC point charge. (a) Find the magnitude of the electrostatic force that one charg

iogann1982 [59]

Answer: a) 8.2 * 10^-8 N or 82 nN and b) is repulsive

Explanation: To solve this problem we have to use the Coulomb force for two point charged, it is given by:

$F=\frac{k*q1*q2}{d^{2}}$

Replacing the dat we obtain F=82 nN.

The force is repulsive because the points charged have the same sign.

Projectile A is launched horizontally at a speed of 20. Meters per second from the top of a cliff and strikes a level surface be

miv72 [106K]

consider the motion of projectile A in vertical direction :

v₀ = initial velocity of projectile A in vertical direction = 0 m/s (since the projectile was launched horizontally)

a = acceleration of the projectile = g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

t = time of travel for projectile A = 3.0 seconds

Y = vertical displacement of projectile A = height of the cliff = h = ?

using the kinematics equation along the vertical direction as

Y = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

h = (0) (3.0) + (0.5) (9.8) (3.0)²

h = 44.1 m

When a gun is fired at the shooting range, the gun recoils (moves backward). Explain this using the law of conservation of momen

12345 [234]

The total momentum is unchanged according to the law of conservation of momentum. When the gun is fired, the bullet gains a high velocity forward (positive velocity), and that velocity multiplied by its mass is the momentum the bullet gains. Therefore, the gun must gain a momentum backwards to cancel out that momentum forward, so the gun recoils back with a negative velocity.

In the Bronsted-Lowry Theory of acids and bases, an acid is this.

madreJ [45]

Answer: An acid is a substance that donates a proton and produces a conjugate base.

Explanation:

According to Bronsted-Lowry theory, an acid is a substance that donates a proton and produces a conjugate base while a base is a molecule or ion which accepts the proton.

An example of Bronsted-Lowry acid and base is Ethanoic acid, CH3COOH and hydroxide ion, OH- respectively as shown in the reaction below

CH3COOH(aq) + OH-(aq) <---> CH3COO-(aq) + H2O(l)

Thus, ethanoic acid acts as an acid by donating a proton to the hydroxide ion which accepts it, thus producing ethanoate ion, CH3COO- as a conjugate base.
