A spring on Earth has a 0.500 kg mass suspended from one end and the mass is displaced by 0.3 m. What will the displacement of t

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Force of gravity given by Newton's second law (which defines the weight of an object) and at the same time we will apply the Hooke relation that talks about the strength of a body in a system with spring.

The extension of the spring due to the weight of the object on Earth is 0.3m, then

F_k = F_{W,E}

kx_1 = mg

The extension of the spring due to the weight of the object on Moon is a value of x_2, then

kx_2 = mg_m

Recall that gravity on the moon is a sixth of Earth's gravity.

kx_2 = m\frac{g}{6}

kx_2 = \frac{1}{6} mg

kx_2 = \frac{1}{6} kx_1

x_2 = \frac{1}{6} x_1

We have that the displacement at the earth was x_1 = 0.3m, then

x_2 = \frac{1}{6} 0.3

x_2 = 0.05m

Therefore the displacement of the mass on the spring on Moon is 0.05m

6. The image to the right shows a moment of inertia
Trava [24]

The moment of inertia is the rotational analog of mass, and it is given by

the  product of mass and the square of the distance from the axis.

  • The moment of inertia changes as the position of the weight is changed, which indicates that; statement is incorrect

Reasons:

The weight on each arm that have adjustable positions can be considered as point masses.

The moment of inertia of a point mass is <em>I</em> = m·r²

Where;

m = The mass of the weight

r = The distance (position) from the center to which the weight is adjusted

Therefore;

The moment of inertia, <em>I </em>∝ r²

Which gives;

Doubling the distance from the center of rotation, increases the moment of inertia by factor of 4.

Therefore, the statement contradicts the relationship between the radius of rotation and moment of inertia.

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

you mean this halo right

Explanation:

Halo is an American military science fiction media franchise managed and developed by 343 Industries and published by Xbox Game Studios. The franchise and its early main installments were originally developed by Bungie. The central focus of the franchise builds off the experiences of Master Chief John-117, one of a group of supersoldiers codenamed Spartans, and his artificial intelligence (AI) companion, Cortana.

The original trilogy centers on an interstellar war between humanity and an alliance of aliens known as the Covenant. The Covenant, led by their religious leaders called the Prophets, worship an ancient civilization known as the Forerunners, who perished while defeating the parasitic Flood. The eponymous Halo Array are a group of immense, habitable, ring-shaped superweapons that were created by the Forerunners to destroy the Flood, but which the Covenant mistake for religious artifacts that, if activated, would transport them on a Great Journey to meet the Forerunners. They are similar to the Orbitals in Iain M. Banks' Culture novels, and to a lesser degree to author Larry Niven's Ringworld concept.[1][2][3][4]

The games in the series are critically acclaimed, with the original considered the Xbox's "killer app".[5] This led to the term "Halo killer" being used to describe console games that aspire, or are considered, to be better than Halo.[6] Fueled by the success of Halo: Combat Evolved, and by marketing campaigns from publisher Microsoft, its sequels went on to record-breaking sales.[7][8][9] The games have sold over 65 million copies worldwide, with the games alone grossing almost $3.4 billion.[10][11][12] Halo has since become one of the highest-grossing media franchises of all time. These strong sales led to the franchise's expansion to other media; the Halo Universe now spans multiple best-selling novels, graphic novels, comic books, short movies, animated movies and feature films, as well as other licensed products.
