Answer:
F = - k (x-xo) a graph of the weight or applied force against the elongation obtaining a line already proves Hooke's law.
Explanation:
The student wants to prove hooke's law which has the form
F = - k (x-xo)
To do this we hang the spring in a vertical position and mark the equilibrium position on a tape measure, to simplify the calculations we can make this point zero by placing our reference system in this position.
Now for a series of known masses let's get them one by one and measure the spring elongation, building a table of weight vs elongation,
we must be careful when hanging the weights so as not to create oscillations in the spring
we look for the mass of each weight
W = mg
m = W / g
and we write them in a new column, we make a graph of the weight or applied force against the elongation and it should give a straight line; the slope of this line is sought, which is the spring constant.
The fact of obtaining a line already proves Hooke's law.
Planes don’t have mirrors
I think that mechanism is called a <em>"lens turret"</em>.
Answer:
(a) 
(b) 
Explanation:
(a) According to the law of conservation of energy, the potential energy of the person at 0.40 m is equal to its kinetic energy before the colision with the floor:
This is the initial velocity in the negative y-direction. Impulse is given by:
(b) The average force is:
Answer:
Explanation:
for vertical movement , time to reach the top = time to reach the hand = 2.5 s
v = u - gt
At the top , v = 0 , time t = 2.5 s
0 = u - g x 2.5
u = 2.5 x 9.8 = 24.5 m /s
velocity of throw = 24.5 m /s
So , when it passes the hand on its way down , it will have velocity equal to 24.5 m /s and it will accelerate downwards . Let its velocity down by 22 m be v
v² = u² + 2 g s
= 24.5² + 2 x 9.8 x 22
= 600.25 + 431.2
= 1031.45
v = 32.11 m /s .
