Melissa's favorite exercise equipment at the gym consists of various springs. in one exercise, she pulls a handle grip attached

to the free end of a spring to 0.80 m from its unstrained position. the other end of the spring (spring constant = 45 n/m) is held in place by the equipment frame. what is the magnitude of the force that melissa is applying to the handle grip?

The formula for force exerted on/by a spring is 

F = k*e where k is the spring constant and x is the distance stretched from unstrained position. This should allow you to find what you need.

 

Using F = k x e, 


where k is the spring constant, 


and e is the extension, 


The F is her weight = 45 X 0.80 


= 36 N

Tresset [83]

Answer:

m = 81281.5 pounds.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force, F = 73 kN

Acceleration of the space shuttle, a = 16000 mi/h²

1 miles/h² = 0.0001241 m/s2

16000 mi/h² = 1.98 m/s²

We need to find the mass of the spacecraft.

According to Newton's second law,

F = ma

m is mass of the spacecraft

m=\dfrac{F}{a}\\\\m=\dfrac{73\times 10^3\ N}{1.98\ m/s^2}\\\\m=36868.68\ kg

Since, 1 kg = 2.20462 pounds

m = 81281.5 pounds

Hence, the mass of the spacecraft is 81281.5 pounds.

What's the difference between meteoroids, meteorites, and meteors?
SVEN [57.7K]

You're talking about a grain of sand or a stone or a rock that's drifting in space, and then the Earth happens to get in the way, so the stone falls down to Earth, and it makes a bright streak of light while it's falling through the atmosphere and burning up from the friction.

-- While it's drifting in space, it's a <em>meteoroid</em>.

-- While it's falling through the atmosphere burning up and making a bright streak of light, it's a <em>meteor</em>.

-- If it doesn't completely burn up and there's some of it left to fall on the ground, then the leftover piece on the ground is a <em>meteorite</em>.
