A single mass m1 = 3.6 kg hangs from a spring in a motionless elevator. The spring is extended x = 15.0 cm from its unstretched

length. . . Now, three masses m1 = 3.6 kg, m2 = 10.8 kg and m3 = 7.2 kg hang from three identical springs in a motionless elevator. The springs all have the same spring constant that you just calculated above. . . What is the distance the lower spring is stretched from its equilibrium length?

The distance the lower spring is stretched from its equilibrium length is 45cm because the weight is 3x as much as the reference spring and the spring constant is the same. 

<span>2) The force the bottom spring exerts on the mass is its weight (=mg) PLUS 10.8kg x 3.8m/s^2 = 133N </span>

<span>3) The distance the upper spring is extended from its unstretched length when not accelerated is 15cm </span>

<span>4) Rank the distances the springs are extended from their unstretched lengths: </span>
<span>c) x1 < x2 < x3 </span>

<span>5) The distance the MIDDLE spring is extended from its unstretched length when not accelerated is 45cm </span>

<span>6) Finally, the elevator is moving downward with a velocity of v = -3.4 m/s and also accelerating downward at an acceleration of a = -2.1 m/s2. </span>
<span>a)speeding up </span>
<span>because the v and a are in the same direction</span>

Which of the following choices correctly identifies the process created by moving a magnet through a conducting loop?
jolli1 [7]

Answer: D.) electromagnetic induction

Explanation: Electroctromagnetic induction may be explained as a process whereby electric current is induced or produced by difference in potential resulting from the movement of conductor across a magnetic field.

In simple terms, an electromotive force is induced when a magnet is moved through a conducting loop.

The electromotive force produced by moving a magnet through a conducting loop can be represented by the relation:

E = - N (dΦ / dt)

Where E = electromotive force in voltage

N = number of loop in conductor

dΦ = change in magnetic Flux

dt = change in time

This term means that we are interacting with an item at a high-level, with lower-level internal details hidden from the user.
katovenus [111]

Option d) abstraction is the correct answer.

Abstraction is the process of taking away or removing characteristics from something in order to reduce it to a set of essential characteristics. In object-oriented programming, abstraction is one of three central principles Through this process, a programmer hides all but the relevant data about an object in order to reduce complexity and increase efficiency.

Q.1- Find the distance travelled by a particle moving in a straight line with uniform acceleration, in the 10th unit of time.
Korolek [52]

Answer:

If the acceleration is constant, the movements equations are:

a(t) = A.

for the velocity we can integrate over time:

v(t) = A*t + v0

where v0 is a constant of integration (the initial velocity), for the distance traveled between t = 0 units and t = 10 units, we can solve the integral:

\int\limits^{10}_0 {A*t + v0} \, dt = ((A/2)10^2 + v0*10) = (A*50 + v0*10)

Where to obtain the actual distance you can replace the constant acceleration A and the initial velocity v0.

A model railroad train travels at a constant speed of 8 cm/s . How far would the train travel in one minute ?
Furkat [3]

Answer:

Answer:

480cm or 0.48m

Explanation:

Given parameter:

Speed of the train = 8cm/s

time of travel = 1minute

Unknown:

Distance traveled = ?

Solution:

Speed is the rate of change of distance with time. This suggests that mathematically;

         Speed =  

       Distance covered = speed   x   time

Now to solve for the distance;

 Convert the time to seconds;

             60seconds = 1 minute

 Distance covered = 8cm/s  x 60s = 480cm

Distance covered is 480cm or 0.48m
