A 0.76-kg block is hung from and stretches a spring that is attached to the ceiling. A second block is attached to the first one

, and the amount that the spring stretches from its unstretched length triples. What is the mass of the second block?

Answer:

1.54 kg

Explanation:

mass of first block (m) = 0.76 kg

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s

what is the mass (m) of the second block

  • force = kx ⇒ mg = kx

        mg = kx

        where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, k is the  

        spring constant and x is the extension

        0.76 x 9.8 = kx

       7.5 = kx

        k = 7.5/x ... equation 1

  • when a second block is attached to the first one the amount of stretch triples (this means that extension (x) = 3x)

        therefore the new mass becomes m + 0.76 and the extension  

        becomes 3x

        with the new mass and extension, mg = kx now becomes

        (m+0.76)g = k(3x) ... equation 2

        Recall that k = 7.5/x from equation 1, substituting this value of k into      

        equation 2 we have

         (m+0.76)g =  \frac{7.5}{x} × (3x)

         (m+0.76)g =  7.5 × 3

          substituting the value of g = 9.8 m/s^{2}

         (m + 0.76) x 9.8 = 7.5 x 3

          m + 0.76 = 22.5 ÷ 9.8

          m + 0.76 = 2.3

          m = 2.3 - 0.76 = 1.54 kg

What happens to the magnitude of the gravitational force as the distance between two bodies increase?
Anna [14]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force will decrease

Explanation:

The gravitational force is one of the four fundamental forces of nature. It is an attractive force exerted between every object having mass.

Its magnitude is given by the equation:

F=\frac{Gm_1 m_2}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1 is the mass of the first object

m2 is the mass of the second object

r is the separation between the objects

As we see from the equation, the magnitude of the gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects:

F\propto \frac{1}{r^2}

Therefore, this means that as the distance between two bodies increases, the gravitational force will decrease.

uppose two train cars are moving toward one another, the first with a mass of 150,000 kg and a velocity of 0.300 m/s; the second
kondaur [170]

The value was determined to be 0.122 m/s. The velocity of a body or object determines its direction of motion. Speed is a scalar quantity in its most fundamental form.

Velocity is essentially a vector quantity. It is the rate of change in distance. The initial speed of the first train, which has a mass of 150,000 kg, is 0.3 m/s. The second train has an initial speed of -0.120 m/s and a mass of 110,000 kg.

Let v represent the post-collision speed of the connected mass.

Utilize the idea of momentum.

The speed of the trains is constant both before and after a collision.

150.000 + 110.000v 45.000 - 13200 = 260.000 v 31800 = 260.000 v v = 0.122 m/s 150000 x 0.3 - 110000 x 0.120

After colliding, they move at a speed of 0.122 m/s towards the direction of the right.
