A 0.40-kg block is attached to the end of a horizontal ideal spring and rests on a frictionless surface. The block is pulled so

that the spring stretches for 2.0 cm relative to its unstrained length. When the block is released, it moves with an acceleration of 8.0 m/s2. What is the spring constant of the spring

Answer:

160N/m

Explanation:

According to Hooke's law which states that the extension of an elastic material is directly proportional to the applied force provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded. Mathematically,

F = ke where

F is the applied force

k is the spring constant

e is the extension

From the formula k = F/e

Since the body accelerates when the block is released, F = ma according to Newton's second law of motion.

The spring constant k = ma/e where

m is the mass of the block = 0.4kg

a is the acceleration = 8.0m/s²

e is the extension of the spring = 2.0cm = 0.02m

K = 0.4×8/0.02

K = 3.2/0.02

K = 160N/m

The spring constant of the spring is therefore 160N/m

The angular velocity of a flywheel obeys the equa tion w(1) A Br2, where t is in seconds and A and B are con stants having numer
makkiz [27]

Answer:

A \to rad/s

B  \to rad/s^3

Explanation:

\omega_z(t)=A + Bt^2

Required

The units of A and B

From the question, we understand that:

\omega_z(t) \to rad/s

This implies that each of A and Bt^2 will have the same unit as \omega_z(t)

So, we have:

A \to rad/s

Bt^2 \to rad/s

The unit of t is (s); So, the expression becomes

B * s^2 \to rad/s

Divide both sides by s^2

B  \to \frac{rad/s}{s^2}

B  \to rad/s^3

With certain exceptions, Class E airspace extends upward from either 700 feet or 1,200 feet AGL to, but does not include,A) 14,5
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

B) 18,000 feet MSL

Explanation:

There are three-dimensional parts in the navigation airspace in the world. The class E airspace is mostly used in the regions with coastal areas that are relatively populated. If we consider certain forms of exceptions, the class E airspace can move in the upward direction to few feet (i.e. 1200 ft). However, this doesn't include 18,000 feet MSL.
