We need to calculate the k'
Using formula for parallel

Put the value into the formula


,k' and
is in series
We need to calculate the equivalent stiffness of the spring
Using formula for series

Put the value into the formula


Hence, The equivalent stiffness of the string is 8.93 N/m.
Answer:
0.173 m.
Explanation:
The fundamental frequency of a closed pipe is given as
fc = v/4l .................. Equation 1
Where fc = fundamental frequency of a closed pipe, v = speed of sound l = length of the pipe.
Making l the subject of the equation,
l = v/4fc ................ Equation 2
also
v = 331.5×0.6T ................. Equation 3
Where T = temperature in °C, T = 18.0 °c
Substitute into equation 3
v = 331.5+0.6(18)
v = 331.5+10.8
v = 342.3 m/s.
Also given: fc = 494 Hz,
Substitute into equation 2
l = 342.3/(4×494)
l = 342.3/1976
l =0.173 m.
Hence the length of the organ pipe = 0.173 m.
Answer:

Explanation:
for the unit vector, we need to divide the given vector by its norm, because it should be in the SAME direction as the original vector, but of magnitude "1".
We notice that the norm of the given vector is:

Then, the unit vector becomes:

Answer:
b) The downward force of gravity
Explanation:
The gravity force has the biggest influence on the deceleration of the ball because no matter how much force you applied on the ball, it will eventually go down again, according to newton's second law:
right after you throw the ball, only the force exerted by the gravity will affect the ball (neglecting air resistance):
so the object will eventually be going down again.
