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.

Electrons are important to the electric current because they are able to move from one atom to another. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes positively charged and when an atom gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged.

A boat is traveling at a speed of 36 km/h. It has to travel a distance of 210 km. How long will it take?
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

If the boat is going 36 km/h, then it will take about 5.8 hours to travel a distance of 210 km/h.

Explanation:

To calculate time, you have to divide the distance by the speed.

In this case, we take 210 and divide it by 36. The answer you will get is 5.83...

joe forgot his homework at home.he runs home to get it.he accelerates from 0 to 15m/s in 5 seconds,runs at 15m/s for 50 seconds,
Fantom [35]

15m/s is his running speed which is faster than the around 28mph limit for humans and he stops in 3 seconds with division he slows down at a rate of 5 meters per second which means he loses 5m/s velocity per second so 5meters per second per second

In the film, 2001: A Space Odyssey, astronauts travel through space and experience artificial gravity created by a spinning, cyl
katrin2010 [14]

Artificial gravity is created by rotating the cylinder

So here we can say that the acceleration is due to centripetal acceleration

So here we know that the formula of centripetal acceleration is given by

a_c = \frac{v^2}{R}

so here we know that

a_c = 9.8 m/s^2

v = 30.9 m/s

now we will plug in all values

9.8 = \frac{30.9^2}{R}

R = \frac{30.9^2}{9.8}

R = 97.43 m

So above is the radius of the cylinder

Now to find the diameter

d = 2R

d = 2*97.43

d = 194.8 m

so its diameter is 194.8 m
