Well first you need to know the formula for the spring force. It’s -1/2k*d

K being the constant

D being the displacement

We can actually find the force on the spring by calculating the weight of the block. It would be mass multiplied by gravity, convert the grams to kilograms first tho.

600/1000 = 0.6kg

0.6kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 5.88N

Now plug everything into the equation, also convert the centimeters to meters:

1.2/100 = 0.012 meters

5.88 = -1/2k*(0.012)

5.88 = k*(0.006)

We could drop the negative sign because we really just want the magnitude of the spring constant.

K = 980N

Alpha particles, because they are the heaviest ones (helium nuclei) and will travel around the body.

The dimensions of a cylinder are changing, but the height is always equal to the diameter of the base of the cylinder. If the he

Answer:

dV/dt = 9 cubic inches per second

Explanation:

Let the height of the cylinder is h

Diameter of cylinder = height of the cylinder = h

Radius of cylinder, r = h/2

dh/dt = 3 inches /s

Volume of cylinder is given by

$V = \pi r^{2}h$

put r = h/2 so,

$V = \pi \frac{h^{3}}{4}$

Differentiate both sides with respect to t.

$\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{3h^{2}}{4}\times \frac{dh}{dt}$

Substitute the values, h = 2 inches, dh/dt = 3 inches / s

$\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{3\times 2\times 2}{4}\times 3$

dV/dt = 9 cubic inches per second

Thus, the volume of cylinder increases by the rate of 9 cubic inches per second.
