Inside a NASA test vehicle, a 3.50-kg ball is pulled along by a horizontal ideal spring fixed to a friction-free table. The forc

e constant of the spring is 230 N/m . The vehicle has a steady acceleration of 5.00 m/s2, and the ball is not oscillating.

F(of spring)=230x=ma=3.5(5)=17.5=230x; x=0.07m.

A pickup truck is carrying a toolbox, but the rear gate of the truck is missing, so the box will slide out if it is set moving.

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

t=7.33 s

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law:

$\sum F=m*a$

because we don't want the box to slide, the acceleration has to be zero.

$\sum F=-F_{friction}+F_{truck}=0\\F_{truck}=F_{friction}\\F_{friction}=\µ*m*g=0.500*9.81*m\\F_{friction}=4.91*m$

we know that:

$F=m*a\\4.91m=m*a\\a=4.91m/s^2$

Now having the acceleration, we can use the following formula.

$v_f=a*t\\t=\frac{36.0m/s}{4.91m/s^2}\\\\t=7.33s$

Which sound waves in the electromagnetic spectrum are considered low energy waves

Mariulka [41]

Radio waves are the waves with the lowest energy in the electromagnetic spectrum. X-rays and gamma rays are the highest. Sound is not part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

I attach a 4.1 kg block to a spring that obeys Hooke's law and supply 3.8 J of energy to stretch the spring. I release the block

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

The amplitude of the oscillation is 2.82 cm

Explanation:

Given;

mass of attached block, m = 4.1 kg

energy of the stretched spring, E = 3.8 J

period of oscillation, T = 0.13 s

First, determine the spring constant, k;

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$

where;

T is the period oscillation

m is mass of the spring

k is the spring constant

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } \\\\k = \frac{m*4\pi ^2}{T^2} \\\\k = \frac{4.1*4*(3.142^2)}{(0.13^2)} \\\\k = 9580.088 \ N/m\\\\$

Now, determine the amplitude of oscillation, A;

$E = \frac{1}{2} kA^2$

where;

E is the energy of the spring

k is the spring constant

A is the amplitude of the oscillation

$E = \frac{1}{2} kA^2\\\\2E = kA^2\\\\A^2 = \frac{2E}{k} \\\\A = \sqrt{\frac{2E}{k} } \\\\A = \sqrt{\frac{2*3.8}{9580.088} }\\\\A = 0.0282 \ m\\\\A = 2.82 \ cm$

Therefore, the amplitude of the oscillation is 2.82 cm

Two carts have a compressed spring between them and are initially at rest. One of the carts has total mass, including its conten

ladessa [460]

Answer:

A) - 1.8 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that whole system is initially at rest and there is no external force on this system

So total momentum of the system must be conserved

so we will have

$m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 = 0$

now plug in all data into above equation

$5(v) + 3(3)$

$5v = -9$

$v = -1.8 m/s$

so correct answer is

A) - 1.8 m/s
