A 10.0 kg mass is placed on a frictionless, horizontal surface. The mass is connected to the end of a horizontal compressed spri

ng which has a spring constant 339 N/m. When the spring is released, the mass has an initial, positive acceleration of 10.2 m/s2. What was the displacement of the spring, as measured from equilibrium, before the block was released? Watch the sign of your answer.

Answer:

The displacement of the spring, as measured from equilibrium, is 0.301 m

Explanation:

Hi there!

Using Hooke´s law, we can calculate the displacement of the spring:

F = -kx

Where:

F = restoring force exerted by the spring.

k = spring constant.

x = displacement of the spring.

The force exerted by the spring can also be calculated using the Newton law:

F = m · a

Where:

F = force.

m = mass of the object.

a = acceleration.

Then, combining both laws:

F = -k · x = m · a

-k · x = m · a

-339 N/m · x = 10.0 kg · 10.2 m/s²

x = 10.0 kg · 10.2 m/s² / -339 N/m

x = -0.301 m

The displacement of the spring, as measured from equilibrium, is 0.301 m

Answer:

4 kg at 30 m/s

Explanation:

comparing in pair, the 3rd is more than the 1st, and the 4th is more than the 2nd, so it boils down to the lasts two. calculate, and im pretty sure you get 4 kg at 30 m/s...

The Sun's declination is 0° at the _________. A. summer and winter solstice B. summer and winter equinox C. vernal and autumnal

Olegator [25]

-- "Declination zero" means the object is in the sky at some point directly over the Earth's equator.

-- If it's the sun and it appears to be over the equator, then that tells us that the Earth's axis is not tilted toward or away from it.

-- That in turn tells us that the Earth is at one of the two equinoxes in its orbit, either the Spring one or the Autumn one. <em> (D)</em>

-- (The first days of Summer and Winter coincide with solstices, not equinoxes.)

A car is moving at a constant speed of 14 m/s when the driver presses down on the gas pedal and accelerates for 14 s with an acc

Vinil7 [7]

acceleration of car is 1.8 m/s^2

time = 14 s

initial speed = 14 m/s

so the final speed is calculated by

$v_f = v_i + at$

$v_f = 14 + 14 * 1.8$

$v_f = 39.2 m/s$

so the total distance moved in this interval of time is

$d = \frac{v_f + v_i}{2}* t$

$d = \frac{39.2 + 14}{2}* 14$

$d = 372.4 m$

now the average speed is given as

$v = \frac{d}{t}$

$v = \frac{372.4}{14}$

$v = 26.6 m/s$

so the average speed will be 26.6 m/s

Car A starts out traveling at 35.0 km/h and accelerates at 25.0 km/h2 for 15.0 min. Car B starts out traveling at 45.0 km/h and

lawyer [7]

1 kilometre=1000 metre

1 hour = 3600 second

$1\ km/hr=\frac{1000}{3600} m/s$

$1\ km/hr=\frac{5}{18} m/s$

The initial velocity of car A is 35.0 km/hr i.e

$35.0\ km/hr=35*\frac{5}{18} m/s$

= 9.72 m/s

The initial velocity of car B is 45 km/hr =12.5 m/s

The initial velocity of car C is 32 km/hr = 8.89 m/s

The initial velocity of car D is 110 km/hr=30.56 m/s

The acceleration of car A is given as $25\ km/hr^2$

$=\ 25*\frac{1000}{3600*3600} m/s^2$

$=0.00192901234 m/s^2$

The time taken by car A = 15 min.

From equation of kinematics we know that-

v= u+at [Here v is the final velocity and a is the acceleration and t is the time]

Final velocity of A, v = 9.72 m/s +[0.00192901234×15×60]m/s

=11.456111106 m/s

The acceleration of B is given as $15\ km/hr^2$

$=0.00115740740740 m/s^2$

The time taken by car B =20 min

The final velocity of B is -

v= u+at

= u-at [Here a is negative due to deceleration]

=12.5 m/s +[0.0011574074074×20×60]

=13.8888888.....

=13.9

The acceleration of C is given as $40\ km/hr^2$

$=\ 0.003086419753 m/s^2$

The time taken by car C =30 min

The final velocity of C is-

v = u+at

=8.89 m/s+[0.003086419753×30×60] m/s

=14.4455555555..m/s

=14.45 m/s

The car C is decelerating.The deceleration is given as- $60\ km/hr^2$

$=0.0046296296296m/s^2$

The time taken by car D= 45 min.

The final velocity of the car D is-

v =u+at

=30.56 -[0.00462962962962×45×60]m/s

=18.06 m/s

Hence from above we see that the magnitude of final velocity car C and B is close to 15 m/s. The car C is very close as compared to car B.

A 0.775-m3 rigid tank initially contains air whose density is 1.18 kg/m3. The tank is connected to a high-pressure supply line t

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

2.9 kg

Explanation:

Given that a 0.775-m3 rigid tank initially contains air whose density is 1.18 kg/m3.

According to the definition of density

Density = mass/volume

1.18 = mass / 0.775

Mass = 1.18 × 0.775

Mass = 0.9145 kg

Given that the tank is connected to a high-pressure supply line through a valve. The valve is opened, and air is allowed to enter the tank until the density in the tank rises to 4.95 kg/m3.

Using the same density formula

Density = mass/volume

4.95 = mass / 0.775

mass = 3.83625 kg

To determine the mass of air that has entered the tank, take away the mass of the air initial in the tank from the mass calculated

Mass = 3.83625 - 0.9145

Mass = 2.923kg

Therefore, the mass of air that has entered the tank is 2.9 kg approximately.
