5. (II) A fisherman’s scale stretches 3.6 cm when a 2.4-kg fish hangs from it. (a) What is the spring stiffness constant and (b)

what will be the amplitude and frequency of oscillation if the fish is pulled down 2.1 cm more and released so that it oscillates up and down?

Answer:

(1)  K = 6.5 N/m

(2) amplitude =2.1 cm

Explanation:

extension (x) = 3.6 cm

mass (m) = 2.4 kg

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

(1).  we can get the spring stiffness constant from the formula F = Kx

  where

  • F = force = m x g = 2.4 x 9.8 = 23.52 N
  • x = extension = 3.6 cm
  • K = spring stiffness constant
  • substituting all required values into the formula we have

        23.52 = 3.6K

       K = 6.5 N/m

(2).  what will be the amplitude and frequency of oscillation if the fish is pulled down 2.1 cm more and released so that it oscillates up and down?

  • Amplitude is the maximum extent of a vibration or an oscillation measured from its position of equilibrium. In this case, the position of equilibrium of the scale was when the fish was hanging with the scale stretched by 3.6 cm and that is where the amplitude will be measured from. with the fish pulled down 2.1 cm and released to oscillate, it would not go higher than the initial length to which it was pulled hence the initial length of 2.1 cm would be its amplitude.

A 1150 kg pile driver is used to drive a steel I-beam into the ground. The pile driver falls 7.69 m before contacting the beam,
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

the average force 11226 N  

Explanation:

Let's analyze the problem we are asked for the average force, during the crash, we can find this from the impulse-momentum equation, but this equation needs the speeds and times of the crash that we could look for by kinematics.

Let's start looking for the stack speeds, it has a free fall, from rest  (Vo=0)

             

           Vf² = Vo² - 2gY

            Vf² = 0 - 2 9.8 7.69 = 150.7

            Vf = 12.3 m / s

This is the speed that the battery likes when it touches the beam.  They also give us the distance it travels before stopping, let's calculate the time

         

            Vf = Vo - g t

             0 = Vo - g t

             t = Vo / g

             t = 12.3 / 9.8

             t = 1.26 s

This is the time to stop

Now let's use the equation that relates the impulse to the amount of movement

                 I = Δp

                F t = pf-po

The amount of final movement is zero because the system stops

                F = - po / t

                F = - mv / t

                F = - 1150 12.3 / 1.26

                F = -11226 N

This is the average force exerted by the stack on the vean

What is the relationship between sunspots and geomagnetic storms?
shutvik [7]
Sunspots are spot like structure on the surface of sun, they are created due to geomagnetic flux which inhibits the convection of heat waves thus reducing the temperature of spot with some factor

A piece of driftwood moves up and down as water waves pass beneath it. However, it does not move toward the shore with the waves
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

It's A

Explanation:

As the waves progress through the medium, the particles they are made of move perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move. The particles do not move with the wave. So waves transmit energy but not matter as they progress through a medium.
