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

1. List one way mitosis and meiosis are the same and one way they are different.
kolbaska11 [484]
1. They both are same in the process, I mean they both are types of cell division they both form and give rise to new cells from the existing ones
difference would be in their division a mitotic cell gives rise to 2 cells where as a meiotic cell gives rise to 4.
2. the advantage of sexual reproduction is that , it produces genetic variation, disadvantage is it's a very slow process and takes lot of time
3. the advantage is that ,it's a very rapid process as it doesn't involve complex interactions. of genes and chromosomal recombination, the disadvantage would be is that they don't produce variation which can have adverse affect on their survival, even due to slightest change in the environment
4. Undergoing both the type of cell division is good as in human mitotic division is meant for growth and development whereas meiotic divisions are necessary and important for gametes formation and for raising new generation
