First, we should understand the spring constant. Different springs may have different spring constants. A spring constant tells us that how much force is needed to bring a 1-centimeter stretch in a particular spring. Here the force applied is 16 N and the change in length is 8 cm.(18-10). Now we divide 16 by 8 and we get 2. So 2 N force is required here to bring a 1 cm stretch in this specific spring. So, the answer is A. 2.0 N/cm.

The planets move eastward against the background of fixed stars with the exception of Venus, Uranus and Pluto moving westward as seen in Earth's sky . This apparent retreating movement is called Retrograde motion. It is illusion created by Earth's movement going by outer planets in their respective orbits.

Sonja [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) speed of passenger = circumference / time

= 2π R / Time

= 2 x 3.14 x 50 / 60

= 5.23 m /s

b )

centrifugal force = m v² /R

= (882 /9.8 ) x 5.23² / 50

= 77.47 N

Apparent weight at the highest point

real weight  - centrifugal force

= 882 - 77.47

= 804.53 N

Apparent weight at the lowest point

real weight  + centrifugal force

= 882 +77.47

= 959.47 N

c )  if the passenger’s apparent weight at the highest point were zero

centrifugal force = weight

mv² /R = mg

v² = gR

= 9.8 X 50

v = 22.13 m /s

d )

apparent weight

mg - mv² / R

= 882 - (882 / 9.8 )x 22.13²/50

= 882 +  882

= 1764 N

Suppose an event is measured to be at a = (0,-2, 3, 5) in one reference frame. Find the components of this event in another refe
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The components of the moving frame is (8.07c, -2, 3, 9.493)

Solution:

As per the question:

Velocity of moving frame w.r.t original frame v_{m} 0.85c

Point 'a' of an event in one reference frame corresponds to the (x, y, z, t) coordinates of the plane

a = (0, - 2, 3, 5)

Now, according the the question, the coordinates of moving frame, say (X, Y, Z, t'):

New coordinates are given by:

X = \frac{x - v_{m}t}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v_{m}^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

X = \frac{0 - 0.85c\times 5}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{(0.85c)^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

X = 8.07 c

Now,

Y = y = - 2

Z = z = 3

Now,

t' = \frac{t - \frac{vx}{c}^{2}}{\sqrt{1 - (\frac{v}{c})^{2}}}

t' = \frac{5 - 0}{\sqrt{1 - (\frac{0.85c}{c})^{2}}} = 9.493 s
