A 500kg wagon is pushed against a wall with a spring between the wall and the wagon. The spring has a stiffness coefficient of 3

00 N/m. If the spring is compressed a distance of .6m and the wagon continues to apply a 55N force toward the wall, then what will the acceleration of the wagon be?

Answer: 0.36 meter per second square

Explanation from hooke's law f = ke

from motion, F=ma

Ma=me

Where a= ?

K=300

e=0.6

M=500kg

500×a =300×0.6

a = 180÷500

a = 0.36 meter per second square

I've had a similar question on an assignment myself, so I'm going to assume it had the same idea.

When you organize them in such a way, the pattern that emerges tells you elements organized by atomic weight have the same number of valence electrons.

Hope this helps!

A ray of light traveling in air is incident on the flat surface of a piece of glass at an angle of 65.9° with respect to the nor
stich3 [128]

Answer:

n_{glass} = 1.6

Explanation:

\theta _{i} = Angle of incidence = 65.9°

\theta _{r} = Angle of refraction = 34.8°

n_{air} = Index of refraction of air = 1

n_{glass} = Index of refraction of glass = ?

Using Snell's law

n_{air} Sin\theta _{i} = n_{glass} \theta _{r}

(1) Sin65.9 =  n_{glass} Sin34.8

n_{glass} = 1.6

On a typical clear day, the atmospheric electric field points downward and has a magnitude of approximately 103 N/C. Compare the
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

a) FE = 0.764FG

b) a = 2.30 m/s^2

Explanation:

a) To compare the gravitational and electric force over the particle you calculate the following ratio:

\frac{F_E}{F_G}=\frac{qE}{mg}              (1)

FE: electric force

FG: gravitational force

q: charge of the particle = 1.6*10^-19 C

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2

E: electric field = 103N/C

m: mass of the particle = 2.2*10^-15 g = 2.2*10^-18 kg

You replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):

\frac{F_E}{F_G}=\frac{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(103N/C)}{(2.2*10^{-18}kg)(9.8m/s^2)}\\\\\frac{F_E}{F_G}=0.764

Then, the gravitational force is 0.764 times the electric force on the particle

b)

The acceleration of the particle is obtained by using the second Newton law:

F_E-F_G=ma\\\\a=\frac{qE-mg}{m}

you replace the values of all variables:

a=\frac{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(103N/C)-(2.2*10^{-18}kg)(9.8m/s^2)}{2.2*10^{-18}kg}\\\\a=-2.30\frac{m}{s^2}

hence, the acceleration of the particle is 2.30m/s^2, the minus sign means that the particle moves downward.
