Answer:

A spring whose spring constant is 200 lbf/in has an initial force of 100 lbf acting on it. Determine the work, in Btu, required to compress it another 1 inch.

Step 1 of 4

The force at any point during the deflection of the spring is given by,

where is the initial force

and x is the deflection as measured from the point where the initial force occurred.

The work required to compress the spring is

Therefore work required to compress the spring is

The work required to compress the spring in Btu is calculated by

Where 1Btu =778

The work required to compress the spring,

If all else stays the same, which would cause an increase in the gravitational force on a space shuttle?
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer: Decreasing the distance of the space shuttle from Earth .

Explanation:

According to expression of gravitational force:

F=\frac{G\times m_1\times m_2}{r^2}

G = gravitational constant

m_1, m_2 = masses of two objects

r = Distance between the two objects.

F = Gravitational force

From the above expression we can say that gravitational force is inversely proportional to squared of the distance between the two masses.

F\propto \frac{1}{r^2}

So, in order to increase the gravitational force on space shuttle distance between the space space shuttle  must be decreased.

Hence, the correct answer 'decreasing the distance of the space shuttle from Earth '.

Question 24
Verizon [17]
Q 24: Newton's first law of motion states that anything that stands still will stay still unless unbalanced force is acted upon that object. Newton's second law of motion states that the velocity of an object changes when subjected to external Force. Newton's third law of motion says that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. when bumper cars crash into each other one car goes one way and the other goes the other way.

Q 25: if the bumper cars doubled their Mass the motion would be halfed but if the net force is doubled the motion will double.

Part b suppose the magnitude of the gravitational force between two spherical objects is 2000 n when they are 100 km apart. what
kobusy [5.1K]
<span>b) The force with a distance of 150 km is 889 N c) The force with a distance of 50 km is 8000 N This question looks like a mixture of a question and a critique of a previous answer. I'll attempt to address the original question. Since the radius of the spherical objects isn't mentioned anywhere, I will assume that the distance from the center of each spherical object is what's being given. The gravitational force between two masses is given as F = (G M1 M2)/r^2 where F = Force G = gravitational constant M1 = Mass 1 M2 = Mass 2 r = distance between center of masses for the two masses. So with a r value of 100 km, we have a force of 2000 Newtons. If we change the distance to 150 km, that increases the distance by a factor of 1.5 and since the force varies with the inverse square, we get the original force divided by 2.25. And 2000 / 2.25 = 888.88888.... when rounded to 3 digits gives us 889. Looking at what looks like an answer of 890 in the question is explainable as someone rounding incorrectly to 2 significant digits. If the distance is changed to 50 km from the original 100 km, then you have half the distance (50/100 = 0.5) and the squaring will give you a new divisor of 0.25, and 2000 / 0.25 = 8000. So the force increases to 8000 Newtons.</span>
