Answer:

33627.4 N/m

Explanation:

By Hook's law F = k x

where F= force applied

K= Spring constant

x= distance it compresses.

Since the force applied in this case will be the weight of the object that causes it to compress, so, the weight will be (175 * 9.8) = 1715N force which causes a compression (x) of 0.0510m.

So,

F = K x

K = F / x

K = 1715 / 0.0510

K = 33627N/m

Wave traveling at 330 m/sec has a wavelength of 4.3 meters. What is the frequency of this wave?
Rasek [7]

Answer:

76.74 Hz

Explanation:

Given:

Wave velocity ( v ) = 330 m / sec

wavelength ( λ ) = 4.3 m

We have to calculate Frequency ( f ):

We know:

v = λ / t [ f = 1 / t ]

v = λ f

= > f = v / λ

Putting values here we get:

= > f = 330 / 4.3 Hz

= > f = 3300 / 43 Hz

= > f = 76.74 Hz

Hence, frequency of sound is 76.74 Hz.

Six artificial satellites circle a space station at constant speed. The mass m of each satellite, distance L from the space stat
nikklg [1K]

Answers:

a) T_{2}>T_{5}>T_{1}>T_{3}=T_{6}>T_{4}

b) a_{4}>a_{6}>a_{1}>a_{3}>a_{5}>a_{2}

Explanation:

a) Since we are told the satellites circle the space station at constant speed, we can assume they follow a uniform circular motion and their tangential speeds V are given by:

V=\omega L=\frac{2\pi}{T} L (1)

Where:

\omega is the angular frequency

L is the radius of the orbit of each satellite

T is the period of the orbit of each satellite

Isolating T:

T=\frac{2 \pi L}{V} (2)

Applying this equation to each satellite:

T_{1}=\frac{2 \pi L}{V_{1}}=261.79 s (3)

T_{2}=\frac{2 \pi L}{V_{2}}=1570.79 s (4)

T_{3}=\frac{2 \pi L}{V_{3}}=196.349 s (5)

T_{4}=\frac{2 \pi L}{V_{4}}=98.174 s (6)

T_{5}=\frac{2 \pi L}{V_{5}}=785.398 s (7)

T_{6}=\frac{2 \pi L}{V_{6}}=196.349 s (8)

Ordering this periods from largest to smallest:

T_{2}>T_{5}>T_{1}>T_{3}=T_{6}>T_{4}

b) Acceleration a is defined as the variation of velocity in time:

a=\frac{V}{T} (9)

Applying this equation to each satellite:

a_{1}=\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}}=0.458 m/s^{2} (10)

a_{2}=\frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}=0.0254 m/s^{2} (11)

a_{3}=\frac{V_{3}}{T_{3}}=0.4074 m/s^{2} (12)

a_{4}=\frac{V_{4}}{T_{4}}=1.629 m/s^{2} (13)

a_{5}=\frac{V_{5}}{T_{5}}=0.101 m/s^{2} (14)

a_{6}=\frac{V_{6}}{T_{6}}=0.814 m/s^{2} (15)

Ordering this acceerations from largest to smallest:

a_{4}>a_{6}>a_{1}>a_{3}>a_{5}>a_{2}

A pendulum has 294 J of potential energy at the highest point of its swing. How much kinetic energy will it have at the bottom o
baherus [9]

Newton's law of conservation states that energy of an isolated system remains a constant. It can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to the other.


Implying the above law of conservation of energy in the case of pendulum we can conclude that at the bottom of the swing the entire potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy. Also the potential energy is zero at this point.


Mathematically also potential energy is represented as


Potential energy= mgh


Where m is the mass of the pendulum.


g is the acceleration due to gravity


h is the height from the bottom z the ground.


At the bottom of the swing,the height is zero, hence the potential energy is also zero.


The kinetic energy is represented mathematically as


Kinetic energy= 1/2 mv^2


Where m is the mass of the pendulum


v is the velocity of the pendulum


At the bottom the pendulum has the maximum velocity. Hence the kinetic energy is maximum at the bottom.


Energy can neither be created e destroyed. It can only be transferred from one form to another. Implying this law and the above explainations we conclude that at the bottom of the pendulum,the potential energy=0 and the kinetic energy=294J as the entire potential energy is converted to kinetic energy at the bottom.
