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

a bicycle accelerates at 1 m/s² from an initial velocity of 4 m/s² for 10s. Find the distance moved by it during this interval o
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

90 m

Explanation:

Acceleration, a=\frac {v-u}{t} where v and u are final and initial velocities respectively, t is the time taken

Substituting 1 m/s^{2} for a,  4 m/s for u and 10 s for t then

1*10=v-4

v=14 m/s

From kinematic equations

v^{2}=u^{2}+2as

Making s the subject then

s=\frac {v^{2}-u^{2}}{2a}=\frac {14^{2}-4^{2}}{2\times 1}=90 m

meriva

Answer:

4948020

Explanation:

(6.9*10-6)(770*102)

<u>Multiply  6.9  by  10 . </u>

( 69 − 6 ) ( 770 ⋅ 102 )

<u>Subtract  6  from  69 . </u>

63 ( 770 ⋅ 102 )

<u>Multiply  770  by 102 . </u>

63 ⋅ 78540

<u>Multiply  63  by  78540 . </u>
