First determine the net force. Let's say the downwards force is negative and the upwards force is positive.
Since the forces act in opposite directions, the net force would be:
400N - 600N = -200N

Since I said negative is downwards, this translates to the net force being 200N downwards.

Force = mass*acceleration
200N = 60kg * acceleration
acceleration = 3.33 m/s^2

4. How does the type of medium affect a sound wave?

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The type of medium affects a sound wave as sound travels with the help of the vibration in particles.

Explanation:

As different mediums have different amount and size of particles, for example, the speed of sound is faster through solid than liquid as solids have closely packed particles whereas liquids are loosely packed.

A 0.683 kg mass moves in SHM at the end of a spring. It takes 1.41 s to move from the position with the spring fully extended to

dsp73

Answer:

Spring constant of the spring will be equal to 9.255 N /m

Explanation:

We have given mass m = 0.683 kg

Time taken to complete one oscillation is given T = 1.41 sec

We have to find the spring constant of the spring

From spring mass system time period is equal to $T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{K}}$ , here m is mass and K is spring constant
