Answer:

The weight of the book is, W = 53.9 N          

Explanation:

The mass of the book, m = 5.5 kg

The acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

The weight of an object is defined as the product of of the mass and acceleration due to gravity,

                                 W = m x g

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

                                  W = 5.5 x 9.8

                                      = 53.9 N

Hence, the weight of the book is, W = 53.9 N

A spring has a constant k= 10.32 N/m and is hung vertically. A 0.400kg mass is suspended from the spring. What is the displaceme
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

displacement (x) = 0.003798 meters

Explanation:

from the fact that the string is hung vertically we can deduce that:

Total force acting on the mass = Fs (by spring) + Fg (by gravity)

<em>where</em>

Fs = k*x , x is the displacement..

Fg = m*g

then:

Ftot = m*a, <em>but a = 0 m/(s^2) because the mass becames stationary.</em>

Ftot = 0

Fs + Fg = 0

<em>by direction, take down as negative.</em>

Fs - Fg = 0

k*x = m*g

x = m*g/k = [(0.400)(9.8)]/(10.32)

  = 0.3798 meters

Find the distance (P1, P2) between the points P, and P2:
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

\mathfrak{\huge{\orange{\underline{\underline{AnSwEr:-}}}}}

Actually Welcome to the concept of distance formula.

Distance formula ==>

\sqrt{( {x2 - x1})^{2}  + ( {y2 - y1})^{2} }

so applying this we get as,

D = underoot (9)^2 + (-5)^2

==> D = 10.29 units

distance = 10.29 units

How do asteroids and comets differ?
aalyn [17]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Asteroids: Asteroids are generally made up of rocky material, metals and their size are large in  comparison to comets. Asteroid belt is found between Jupiter and Mars.

Comets: Comets are made up of ice, dust and rocky material. Generally smaller in size and are far from the Sun. With each orbit nearing the sun ice of the comet vaporize in form of blazing tail.

Two horizontal forces are exerted on a large crate. The first force is 317 N to the right. The second force is 173 N to the left
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

A. Refer to the figure.

B. The net force acting on the crate is

F_{net} = F_1 - F_2 = 317 - 173 = 144N

C. We should first find the acceleration of the crate using the following kinematics equation:

v = v_0 + at\\6.5 = 0 + 5a\\a = 1.3 m/s^2

Mass of the crate can be found by Newton’s Second Law:

F = Ma\\M = F/a = 144/1.3 = 110.7 kg

A chemist has two compounds that do not chemically react. He thinks that by finding the right catalyst, he can get them to react
8090 [49]

Answer:

The chemist is incorrect because a catalyst increases the rate of reaction only.

Explanation:

A catalyst is a substance in the presence of which the speed of the reaction increases. It plays no role in the chemical change taking place.

Thus, if the two compounds are not chemically reacting, a catalyst wont make it happen either.

A chemical reaction occurs when atoms tend to lose or gain electrons. A catalyst has no role to play in this process.
