A 0.40 kg object is attached to a spring with force constant 157 N/m so that the object is allowed to move on a horizontal frict

ionless surface. The object is released from rest when the spring is compressed 0.17 m.
(a) Find the force on the object.
(b) Find its acceleration at that instant.

Answer:

Part a)

F = 26.7 N

Part b)

a = 66.7 m/s^2

Explanation:

Part a)

Force on the object due to spring force is given as

F = kx

here we know that

k = 157 N/m

x = 0.17 m

so we have

F = 157\times 0.17

F = 26.7 N

Part b)

Acceleration of the object is given as

a = \frac{F}{m}

a = \frac{26.7}{0.40}

a = 66.7 m/s^2

Which of these would NOT produce visible light? A) flint B) lightning C) microwave D) sun
ioda

Answer:

A microwave

Explanation

The human retina can only detect incident light that falls in waves 400 to 720 nanometers long, so we can't see microwave or ultraviolet wavelengths. This also applies to infrared lights which has wavelengths longer than visible and shorter than microwaves, thus being invisible to the human eye.

A particle moves on a line away from its initial position so that after t hours it is s = 6t2 + 2t miles from its initial positi
docker41 [41]
<span>32 mph
   First, let's calculate the location of the particle at t=1, and t=4
 t=1
 s = 6*t^2 + 2*t
 s = 6*1^2 + 2*1
 s = 6 + 2
 s = 8 t = 4
 s = 6*t^2 + 2*t s = 6*4^2 + 2*4
 s = 6*16 + 8
 s = 96 + 8
 s = 104
   So the particle moved from 8 to 104 over the time period of 1 to 4 hours. And the average velocity is simply the distance moved over the time spent. So:
 avg_vel = (104-8)/(4-1) = 96/3 = 32
   And since the units were miles and hours, that means that the average speed of the particle over the interval [1,4] was 32 miles/hour, or 32 mph.</span>

An astronaut is taking a space walk near the shuttle when her safety tether breaks. What should the astronaut do to get back to
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

option (c)

Explanation:

According to the newton's third law, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

As the astronaut throw the tool away from the shuttle, it means the action force is in the direction away from the shuttle and according to Newton's third law, the reaction force is getting in the direction of shuttle.
