The distance that a spring will stretch varies directly as the force applied to the spring. A force of 8080 pounds is needed to
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

F₂= 210 pounds

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

Hooke's law

Hooke's law establishes that the elongation (x) of a spring is directly proportional to the magnitude of force (F) applied to it, provided that said spring is not permanently deformed:

F= K*x   Formula (1)

Where;

F  is the magnitude of the force applied to the spring in Newtons (Pounds)

K is the elastic spring constant, which relates force and elongation. The higher its value, the more work it will cost to stretch the spring. (Pounds/inch)

x the elongation of the spring (inch)

Data

The data given is incorrect because if we apply them the answer would be illogical.

The correct data are as follows:

F₁ =80 pounds

x₁= 8 inches

x₂= 21  inches

Problem development

We replace data in formula 1 to calculate  K :

F₁= K*x₁

K=( F₁) / (x₁)

K=( 80) / (8) = 10 pounds/ inche

We apply The formula 1 to calculate  F₂

F₂= K*x₂

F₂= (10)*(21)

F₂= 210 pounds

A +2e charge is at the point (-1,0) mm in the x,y plane. A –e charge is at the point (0,1) mm. What is the electric field at the
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

Let I and j be the unit vector along x and y axis respectively.

Electric field at origin is given by

E= kq1/r1^2 i + kq2/r2^2j

= 9*10^9*1.6*10^-19*/10^-6*(2i+ j)

= (2.88i + 1.44j)*10^-3 N/C

Force on charge= qE= 3*10^-19*1.6*(2.88i +1. 44 j) *10^-3

F= (1.382 i + 0.691 j) *10^-21

 

 Goodluck

A ball is thrown straight up with a speed of 30 m/s, and air resistance is negligible. How long does it take the ball to reach t
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

3 seconds

Explanation:

Applying,

Applying,

v = u±gt................ Equation 1

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time, g = acceleration due to gravity.

From the question,

Given: v = 0 m/s ( at the maximum height), u = 30 m/s

Constant: g = -10 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

0 = 30-10t

10t = 30

t = 30/10

t = 3 seconds

Why do temperatures differ between air, land, and water?
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:the ocean water isn't moving into or through the atmosphere as a result of the sun's heating of the water, convection isn't the process influencing air and water temperature difference. The heat of the ocean is being given off radiated into the air, making the air substantially warmer
