Incomplete question.The complete question is here

A strong man is compressing a lightweight spring between two weights. One weight has a mass of 2.3 kgkg , the other a mass of 5.3 kgkg . He is holding the weights stationary, but then he loses his grip and the weights fly off in opposite directions. The lighter of the two is shot out at a speed of 6.0 m/sm/s .What is the speed of the heavier weight?

Answer:

v_{2f}=2.60m/s

Explanation:

Given data

First weight mass m₁=2.3 kg

Second weight mass m₂=5.3 kg

Lighter weight speed v₁i= -6.0 m/s

To find

Heavier weight velocity v₂f

Solution

From law of conservation of momentum

p_{f}=p_{i}\\ m_{1}v_{1f}+m_{2}v_{2f}=m_{1}v_{1i}+m_{2}v_{2i}\\as\\v_{1i}=v_{2i}=0\\So\\ m_{1}v_{1f}+m_{2}v_{2f}=0\\ m_{1}v_{1f}=-m_{2}v_{2f}\\v_{2f}=(\frac{ m_{1}v_{1f}}{-m_{2}} )\\v_{2f}=(\frac{ 2.3kg*(-6.0m/s)}{-(5.3kg)} )\\v_{2f}=(-13.8/-5.3)\\v_{2f}=2.60m/s

A weight of 200 n is hung from a spring with a spring constant of 2500 n/m and lowered slowly. How much will the spring stretch?
melisa1 [442]

The length by which the spring got stretched will be 0.08 m. The force is directly propotional to the distance by which the spring stretched.

<h3>What is spring force?</h3>

The force required to extend or compress a spring by some distance scales linearly with respect to that distance is known as the spring force. Its formula is

F = kx

The given data in the problem is;

F is the spring force =200

K is the spring constant= 2500 N/m

x is the length by which spring got stretched =?

The stretch of the spring is found as;

\rm F=kx \\\\ x = \frac{F}{k} \\\\\ x= \frac{200}{2500} \\\\ x=0.08 \ m

Hence the length by which the spring got stretched will be 0.08 m.

1. Infer how the height of the lines on a seismograph change with an increase in
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

his movement is proportional to the intensity of the earthquake,

Explanation:

An earthquake is a record of the intensity of an earthquake as a function of time.

Where the intensity is plotted on the y-axis, which corresponds to the vertical movement of the detector, this movement is proportional to the intensity of the earthquake, therefore the intensity increases the amplitude of the oscillation increases.

And the in x corresponds to time

Imagine that the satellite described in the problem introduction is used to transmit television signals. You have a satellite TV
denpristay [2]

Answer:

R₁ = 0.126 m

Explanation:

Let's use the definition of intensity which is the power per unit area

          I = P / A

the generated power is constant

          P = I A

power is

         P = E / t

if we perform the calculations for a given time, the wave energy is

        E = q V

we substitute

        P = \frac{q V\ A}{t}

we can write this equation for two points, point 1 the antenna and point 2 the receiver

         V₁A₁ = V₂A₂

          A₁ = \frac{V_2}{V_1} \ A_2

          A₁ = 0.1 10⁻³  5 10⁻⁴ /V₁

          A₁ = 5 10⁻⁸ /V₁

In general, the electric field on the antenna is very small on the order of micro volts, suppose V₁ = 1 10⁻⁶ V

           

let's calculate

          A₁ = 5 10⁻⁸ / 1 10⁻⁶

         A₁ = 5 10⁻² m²

the area of ​​a circle is

          A = π r²

we substitute

         π R1₁²= 5 10⁻²

         R₁ = \sqrt{    \frac{5 \ 10^{-2} }{\pi } }}

         R₁ = 0.126 m

4. Water is flowing at 12m/s in a horizontal pipe under a pressure of 600kpa
shusha [124]

Answer:

a. 192 m/s

b. -17,760 kPa

Explanation:

First let's write the flow rate of the liquid, using the following equation:

Q = A*v

Where Q is the flow rate, A is the cross section area of the pipe (A = pi * radius^2) and v is the speed of the liquid. The flow rate in both parts of the pipe (larger radius and smaller radius) needs to be the same, so we have:

a.

A1*v1 = A2*v2

pi * 0.02^2 * 12 = pi * 0.005^2 * v2

v2 = 0.02^2 * 12 / 0.005^2

v2 = 192 m/s

b.

To find the pressure of the other side, we need to use the Bernoulli equation: (600 kPa = 600000 N/m2)

P1 + d1*v1^2/2 = P2 + d1*v2^2/2

Where d1 is the density of the liquid (for water, we have d1 = 1000 kg/m3)

600000 + 1000*12^2/2 = P2 + 1000*192^2/2

P2 = 600000 + 72000 - 1000*192^2/2

P2 = -17760000 N/m2 = -17,760 kPa

The speed in the smaller part of the pipe is too high, the negative pressure in the second part means that the inicial pressure is not enough to maintain this output speed.

g Two masses are involved in a collision on an axis (one dimensional). One mass is six times the mass of the second. Both masses
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

v₁f = 0.5714 m/s   (→)

v₂f = 2.5714 m/s   (→)

e = 1  

It was a perfectly elastic collision.

Explanation:

m₁ = m

m₂ = 6m₁ = 6m

v₁i = 4 m/s

v₂i = 2 m/s

v₁f = ((m₁ – m₂) / (m₁ + m₂)) v₁i +  ((2m₂) / (m₁ + m₂)) v₂i

v₁f = ((m – 6m) / (m + 6m)) * (4) +  ((2*6m) / (m + 6m)) * (2)  

v₁f = 0.5714 m/s   (→)

v₂f = ((2m₁) / (m₁ + m₂)) v₁i +  ((m₂ – m₁) / (m₁ + m₂)) v₂i

v₂f = ((2m) / (m + 6m)) * (4) + ((6m -m) / (m + 6m)) * (2)

v₂f = 2.5714 m/s   (→)

e = - (v₁f - v₂f) / (v₁i - v₂i)   ⇒   e = - (0.5714 - 2.5714) / (4 - 2) = 1  

It was a perfectly elastic collision.
