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

he same mass on the same spring be on the Moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is one sixth that of Earth? Show your work.

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

If two variables have a non-related relationship and one of the variables is changed, how will the other variable change?
PolarNik [594]

If one of the variables is changed, that tells nothing about what happens to the other one, or IF anything happens, or when, or how long it lasts. Because they are UN-RELATED. You just said so yourself.

None of the choices says this.

"how do the fundamental laws of physics make manifest that space has 3 dimensions?"
bazaltina [42]
If you are asking for a proof on having at least 3 dimensions in space, you can find the physical proof anywhere in your daily life activities. Just the fact that solids have volumes is a proof already that we live in a three-dimensional space. We can move forwards, backwards, sidewards and in all other directions possible.

When you go right into detail, the fundamental laws governing these proofs are very technical. They have differential equations to show as proof. It is too detailed to discuss here. The important things is that, these fundamental laws are what explains the science in our basic activities and natural phenomena:

*Gravitation and planetary motion
* Translation, rotation, magnetic field, forces
* Integrals of equations:

If a 0.08 kg cell phone falls off a table at 15 m/s, then what is its kinetic energy right before it hits the ground?
Mariana [72]

The kinetic energy of the phone right before it hits the ground is 9J.

<h3>Kinetic energy of the phone</h3>

The kinetic energy of the phone right before it hits the ground is calculated as follows;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

where;

  • m is mass of the phone
  • v is velocity of the phone

K.E = ¹/₂(0.08)(15)²

K.E = 9 J

Thus, the kinetic energy of the phone right before it hits the ground is 9J.

What best explains whether bromine (Br) or neon (Ne) is more likely to form a covalent bond? On left, a purple circle labeled Br
blondinia [14]

Answer:

I believe the answer is Bromine forms covalent bonds because it has many electron shells, but neon has only two electron shells and is tightly bound to its electrons.

Explanation:

valence electrons are the outermost shell, so when you go through keeping that in mind it helps you find the right answer
