Answer:

66.5N

Explanation:

F = kx

Where F = force

K = spring constant

x = compression

Given

K = 950N/m

x = 7.0cm

F = ?

First convert the compression to meters .

7.0cm = 7.0 x 0.01

= 0.07 meters

Therefore

F = 950 x 0.07

= 66.5N

An aircraft flies at sea level at a speed of 220 m/s. What is the highest pressure that can be acting on the surface of the airc
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

An aircraft flying at sea level with a speed of 220 m/s, has a highest pressure of 29136.8 N/m²

Explanation:

Applying Bernoulli's equation, we determine the highest pressure on the aircraft.

P = \frac{1}{2} \rho V^2

where;

P is the highest pressure on the aircraft

\rho is the density of air = 1.204 kg/m³ at sea level temperature.

V is the velocity of the aircraft = 220 m/s

P = 0.5*1.204*(220)² = 29136.8 N/m²

Therefore, an aircraft flying at sea level with a speed of 220 m/s, has a highest pressure of 29136.8 N/m²

Consider a cloudless day on which the sun shines down across the United States. If 2073 kJ of energy reaches a square meter ( m
Mnenie [13.5K]

The total amount of energy per hour is 2.039\cdot 10^{16} kJ

Explanation:

In this problem we are told that the amount of energy reaching a square meter in the United States per hour is

E_1 = 2073 kJ

The total surface area of the United States is

A=9.834\cdot 10^6 km^2

And converting into squared metres,

A=9.834\cdot 10^6 \cdot 10^6 = 9.834\cdot 10^{12} m^2

Therefore, the total energy reaching the entire United States per hour is given by:

E=AE_1 = (9.834\cdot 10^{12})(2073)=2.039\cdot 10^{16} kJ

A spring with spring constant 33N/m is attached to the ceiling, and a 4.8-cm-diameter, 1.5kg metal cylinder is attached to its l
mylen [45]

Answer:

0.423m

Explanation:

Conversion to metric unit

d = 4.8 cm = 0.048m

Let water density be \who_w = 1000 kg/m^3

Let gravitational acceleration g = 9.8 m/s2

Let x (m) be the length that the spring is stretched in equilibrium, x is also the length of the cylinder that is submerged in water since originally at a non-stretching position, the cylinder barely touches the water surface.

Now that the system is in equilibrium, the spring force and buoyancy force must equal to the gravity force of the cylinder. We have the following force equation:

F_s + F_b = W

Where F_s = kxN is the spring force, F_b = W_w = m_wg = \rho_w V_s g is the buoyancy force, which equals to the weight W_w of the water displaced by the submerged portion of the cylinder, which is the product of water density \rho_w, submerged volume V_s and gravitational constant g. W = mg is the weight of the metal cylinder.

kx + \rho_w V_s g = mg

The submerged volume would be the product of cross-section area and the submerged length x

V_s = Ax = \pi(d/2)^2x

Plug that into our force equation and we have

kx + \rho_w \pi(d/2)^2x g = mg

x(k + \rho_w g \pi d^2/4) = mg

x = \frac{m}{(k/g) + (\rho_w\pi d^2/4)} = \frac{1.5}{(33/9.8) + (100*\pi * 0.048^2/4)} = 0.423 m
