The distance a spring stretches varies directly as the amount of weight that is hanging on it. A weight of 2.5 pounds stretches

a spring 18 inches. Find the stretch of the spring when a weight of 6.4 pounds is hanging on it.

We use the equation y = kx
y = 18, x = 2.5

18 = k2.5
k = 7.2

x = 6.4
y = 7.2*6.4
y = 46.08

hope this help

Answer:

The stretch of the spring is 46.08 inches.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight = 2.5 pounds

Stretches a spring = 18 inches

new weight = 6.4

We need to calculate the stretch of the spring

let stretch of the spring is x .

Using formula of restoring force

F=-kx

For first weight,

2.5=k\times18....(I)

For another weight,

6.4=k\times x....(II)

Ratio of equation (I) and (II)

\dfrac{2.5}{6.4}=\dfrac{18}{x}

x=\dfrac{18\times6.4}{2.5}

x = 46.08\ inches

Hence, The stretch of the spring is 46.08 inches.

A 60 kg swimmer suddenly dives from a 150 kg raft with a speed of 1.5 m/s. The raft is initially at
inessss [21]

Answer:

v2 = 0.6 m/s in opposite direction

Explanation:

The computation of the speed of the raft is as follows

The center of system mass would be remains at the same place also it has no external force applied

Therefore

V = 0

So,  

M1.V1= - (M2.V2)

where,

M1 = 60 kg, V1 = 1.5 m/s

M2 = 150 kg

Now  

60 × 1.5 = - 150 × v2

v2 = -0.6 m/s

v2 = 0.6 m/s in opposite direction

.Una moto circula a 72km/h. Frena hasta detenerse y tarda 10 segundos en dicha operación.
adell [148]

Answer:

I. Aceleración, a = -2 m/s²

II. Distancia, S = 100 metros

Explanation:

<u>Dados los siguientes datos;</u>

Velocidad inicial = 72 km / h

Tiempo = 10 segundos

Velocidad final = 0 m/s

<u><em>Conversión:</em></u>

72 km/h a metros por segundo = 72 * 1000/3600 = 72000/3600 = 20 m/s

I. Para encontrar la aceleración, usaríamos la primera ecuación de movimiento;

V = U + at

Dónde;

  • V es la velocidad final.
  • U es la velocidad inicial.
  • a es la aceleración.
  • t es el tiempo medido en segundos.

Sustituyendo en la fórmula, tenemos;

0 = 20 + a*10

-20 = 10a

Aceleracion = \frac{-20}{10}

<em>Aceleración, a = -2 m/s²</em>

<em>Nota: el signo negativo indica desaceleración o retraso.</em>

II. To find the acceleration, we would use the third equation of motion;

V^{2} = U^{2} + 2aS

Dónde;

  • V es la velocidad final.
  • U es la velocidad inicial.
  • a es la aceleración.
  • S es la distancia.

Sustituyendo en la fórmula, tenemos;

0^{2} = 20^{2} + 2*(-2)*S

0 = 400 - 4S

4S = 400

S = \frac {400}{4}

<em>Distancia, S = 100 metros</em>

A test charge of +3 �C is at a point P where an external electric field is directed to the right and has a magnitude of 4 106 N/
Anni [7]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The Coulomb's Law gives us the Electric Field strength of charge as follows:

E = k* (Q) / R^2

Where,

k : Coulomb constant 8.99 * 10^9 N /C

Q: Charge generating Electric Field strength

R: Distance from source to any point

In our case the value of E = 4.106 N /C is experienced by charge +3 C. This charge is replaced by an equal magnitude of charge but with negative sign -3 C. Scrutinizing on the above formula we can see that all quantities remain same hence, the magnitude of field strength remains same.

However, we also know a positive magnitude is directed away from the source charge while a negative magnitude is directed towards the source. We can conclude that only the direction of electric field reverses while magnitude remains same.

How did the horizontal velocity vector component change during the flight of the cannonball in the simulation
arlik [135]

Answer:

<em>The horizontal velocity vector of the canonball does not change at all, but is constant throughout the flight.</em>

Explanation:

First, I'll assume this is a projectile simulation, since no simulation is shown here. That been the case, in a projectile flight, there is only a vertical component force (gravity) acting on the body, and no horizontal component force on the body. The effect of this on the canonball is that the vertical velocity component on the canonball goes from maximum to zero at a deceleration of 9.81 m/s^2, in the first half of the flight. And then zero to maximum at an acceleration of 9.81 m/s^2 for the second half of the flight before hitting the ground. <em>Since there is no force acting on the horizontal velocity vector of the canonball, there will be no acceleration or deceleration of the horizontal velocity component of the canonball. This means that the horizontal velocity component of the canonball is constant throughout the flight</em>

How are ice liquid water and water vapor different from each other?
olga_2 [115]
The molecules of ice stick together in the process of cohesion. They are tightly packed so there isn't much room to move. Liquid water is a looser hold. The molecules can go past one another, and they will take the shape of whatever container they occupy. Water vapor is loosely contained, and it will will fill whatever container it is kept in, and it will take its shape, too.
