Answer:

40 N/m

Explanation:

F = -kx (This is the Hooke's Law equation)

F is the force the spring exerts = 8 N

-k = spring constant

x = displacement (The distance stretched past it's natural length) = 20cm

x needs to be in meters, and 20 cm is = to 0.2 meters

Finally:

8N = -k (0.2m)

-k = 8N / 0.2 m

k = -40 N/m

Water drips from a shower head (the sprayer at the top of the shower) and falls onto the floor 2.4 m below. The droplets are fal
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

The third drop is 0.26m

Explanation:

The drop 1 impacts at time T is given by:

T=sqrt(2h/g)

T= sqrt[(2×2.4)/9.8]

T= sqrt(4.8/9.8)

T= sqrt(0.4898)

T= 0.70seconds

4th drops starts at dT=0.70/3= 0.23seconds

The interval between the drops is 0.23seconds

Third drop will fall at t= 0.23

h=1/2gt^2

h= 1/2×9.81×(0.23)^2

h= 0.26m

The speed of light in a vacuum is 299,792,458 m/s. Which gives this number in three significant digits? 299,000,000. m/s 2.99 x
dexar [7]

Answer: 2.99(10)^{-8} m/s

Explanation:

When a number is written in scientific notation (representing the number using powers of base ten) it is expressed so that it contains a digit in the place of the units and all other digits after the decimal point, multiplied by the respective exponent.  

Then, the significant figures (or significant digits) will be the digits that are before the power of ten.  

Now, in the case of the number 299,792,458 if we want to write it with three significant digits, we have to write it in scientific notation as:

2.99(10)^{-8}

A projectile is fired at an upward angle of 45.0º from the top of a 265-m cliff with a speed of .sm 185 What will be its speed w
nignag [31]

The final velocity of the projectile when it strikes the ground below is 198.51 m/s.

<h3>Time of motion of the projectile</h3>

The time taken for the projectile to fall to the ground is calculated as follows;

h = vt + ¹/₂gt²

where;

  • h is height of the cliff
  • v is velocity
  • t is time of motion

265 = (185 x sin45)t + (0.5)(9.8)t²

265 = 130.8t + 4.9t²

4.9t² + 130.8t - 265 = 0

solve the quadratic equation using formula method,

t = 1.89 s

<h3>Final velocity of the projectile</h3>

vyf = vyi + gt

where;

  • vyf is the final vertical velocity
  • vyi is initial vertical velocity

vyf = (185 x sin45) + (9.8 x 1.89)

vyf = 149.322 m/s

vxf = vxi

where;

  • vxf is the final horizontal velocity
  • vxi is the initial horizontal velocity

vxf = 185 x cos(45)

vxf = 130.8 m/s

vf = √(vyf² + vxf²)

where;

  • vf is the speed of the projectile when it strikes the ground below

vf = √(149.322²  +  130.8²)

vf = 198.51 m/s
