Use the equation kx=mg:

k=40

x=.50

m=?

g=9.8


(40)(.5)=m(9.8)

20=9.8m

m=2.04 kg

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

x = 1.95 m

Explanation:

As we know that total mechanical energy is conserved here

So gravitational potential energy of the climber will convert into spring potential energy

So we will have

mg(L + x) = \frac{1}{2}kx^2

here we know that

m = 86 kg

L = 0.750 m

k = 1.20 \times 10^3 N/m

now we will have

86\times 9.8(0.750 + x) = \frac{1}{2}(1.20 \times 10^3) x^2

0.750 + x = 0.71 x^2

x = 1.95 m

A spaceship travels toward the Earth at a speed of 0.97c. The occupants of the ship are standing with their torsos parallel to t
Ket [755]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply length contraction einstein's relativistic formula to calculate the length observed by observer on the earth . For the observer , increased length will be observed for an observer on the earth

L=\frac{.5}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{.97c}{c})^2 } }

L=\frac{.5}{.24}

L= 2.05

The length will appear to be 2.05 m . and width will appear to be .5 m  to the observer on the spaceship. . It is so because it is length which is moving parallel to the direction of travel. Width will remain unchanged.
