When a 600 g mass is suspended from a spring, the spring stretches 1.2 cm. What is the spring constant of the spring? ​

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

An airplane is flying with a velocity of 100 m/s at an angle of 25° above the horizontal. When the plane is 114 m directly above
alex41 [277]

Answer:

The suitcase will land 976.447m from the dog.

Explanation:

The velocity in its component in the X and Y axis is decomposed:

Vx= 100m/s × cos(25°)= 90.63m/s

Vy= 100m/s × sen(25°)= 42.26m/s

Time it takes for the suitcase to reach maximum height, the final speed on the axis and at the point of maximum height is zero whereby:

VhmaxY= Voy- 9.81(m/s^2) × t ⇒ t= (42.26 m/s) / (9.81(m/s^2)) = 4.308s

The space traveled on the axis and from the moment the suitcase is thrown until it reaches its maximum height will be:

Dyhmax= Voy × t - (1/2) × 9.81(m/s^2) × (t^2) =

= 42.26m/s × 4.308s - 4.9 (m/s^2)  × (4.308s)^2 =

=182.056m - 90.938m= 91.118m

The time from the maximum height to touching the ground is:

Dtotal y= 114m + 91.118m = (1/2) × 9.81(m/s^2) × (t^2) =

= 205.118m = 4.9 (m/s^2) × (t^2) ⇒ t= (41.818 s^2) ^ (1/2)= 6.466s

The total time of the bag in its rise and fall will be:

t= 4.308s + 6.466s = 10.774s

With this time and the initial velocity at x which is constant I can obtain the distance traveled by the suitcase on the x-axis:

Dx= 90.63 (m/s) × 10.774s = 976.447m

Interrelationship between health population and environment education and Science and Technology​
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Answer: Science and technology are relatively modern developments. For most of the past 50,000 years of civilization, there was religion, dogma, ritual an tradition. These kept civilization safe but prevented growth.

After the modern scientific method was developed during the Rennaisance, civil action took off.

Health, as expressed as life expectancies, has increased massively. Population growth has increased to levels thought impossible before. But yes, the environment has suffered.

A railroad car of mass M moving at a speed v1 collides and couples with two coupled railroad cars, each of the same mass M and m
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

vf = v₁/3 + 2v₂/3

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of linear momentum,

momentum before impact = momentum after impact

So, Mv₁ + 2Mv₂ = 3Mv (since the railroad cars combine) where v₁ = initial velocity of first railroad car, v₂ = initial velocity of the other two coupled railroad cars, and vf = final velocity of the three railroad cars after impact.

Mv₁ + 2Mv₂ = 3Mvf

dividing through by 3M, we have

v₁/3 + 2v₂/3 = vf

vf = v₁/3 + 2v₂/3
