Answer:

Explanation:

There seems to be a typo in the problem statement.  It says the spring stretches to a shorter length after more mass is added.  Please check the problem statement.  I'm going to do the calculations assuming that the first length should be 11.80 cm and the second length should be 12.05 cm.

Hooke's law states that the force needed to compress or extend a linear spring is:

F = kΔx, where k is the stiffness and Δx is the displacement.

When a 20g object is placed in the pan, the spring stretches to a length of 11.80 cm.  The force of the spring is counteracting the weight of both the pan and the object. Therefore:

(m + 0.020) g = k (0.1180 - 0.100)

And when another 30g object is placed in the pan, the spring stretches to a length of 12.05 cm.

(m + 0.020 + 0.030) g = k (0.1205 - 0.100)

We now have two equations and two variables.  If we divide the second equation by the first equation:

(m + 0.050) / (m + 0.020) = (0.1205 - 0.100) / (0.1180 - 0.100)

(m + 0.050) / (m + 0.020) = 0.02050 / 0.0180

0.0180 (m + 0.050) = 0.02050 (m + 0.020)

0.0180 m + 0.0009 = 0.02050 m + 0.00041

0.00049 = 0.0025 m

m = 0.196

The pan has a mass of 0.196 kg, or 196 g.

A jogger runs at a constant rate of 10.0 m every 2.0 seconds. The jogger starts at the origin and runs in the positive direction
Elis [28]

Answer:

(a) 25 m

(b) 75 m

Explanation:

Given that the jogger runs at a constant rate of 10.0 m every 2.0 seconds.

So, the speed of the jogger,

v=\frac{10}{2}=5m/s\;\cdots(i)

Let d be the distance covered by him in time, t s.

As distance=(speed) x (time)

So, d=vt

From equation (i)

\Rightarrow d=5t\;\cdots(ii)

As the jogger starts from origin, so, the distance, d, also represents the position of the jogger at the time t s.

The position-time graph has been shown.

(a) From equation (ii), for t=5.0 s

d=5\times 5=25 m

So, the jogger is at a distance of 25 m from the origin.

(b) Similarly, for t=15.0 s

d=5\times 15=75 m

So, the jogger is at a distance of 75 m from the origin.

Along the line connecting the two charges, at what distance from the charge q1 is the total electric field from the two charges
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

r = d (\frac{\sqrt {q_1}}{\sqrt{q_1} + \sqrt{q_2}})

Explanation:

Here two charges are placed at distance "d" apart

now the net value of electric field at some position between two charges will be ZERO

so we will have

electric field due to charge 1 = electric field due to charge 2

E_1 = E_2

Let the position where net field is zero will lie at distance "r" from q1

\frac{kq_1}{r^2} = \frac{kq_2}{(d-r)^2}

now we will have

\frac{(d - r)^2}{r^2} = \frac{q_2}{q_1}

now square root both sides

\frac{d}{r} - 1 = \sqrt{\frac{q_2}{q_1}}

now we have

\frac{d}{r} = \sqrt{\frac{q_2}{q_1}} + 1

so we have

r = d (\frac{\sqrt {q_1}}{\sqrt{q_1} + \sqrt{q_2}})

Winds are named based on different factors. How are winds usually named?
eduard
Winds are named based on which compass direction the wind is blowing. For example some common ones are NE or N or SE or SW. NE stands for Northeast, N for North, SE for South East and SW for Southwest.

A light-rail commuter train accelerates at a rate of 1.35 m/s. D A 33% Part (a) How long does it take to reach its top speed of
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

a) 17.49 seconds

b) 13.12 seconds

c) 2.99 m/s²

Explanation:

a) Acceleration = a = 1.35 m/s²

Final velocity = v = 85 km/h = 85\frac{1000}{3600}=23.61\ m/s

Initial velocity = u = 0

Equation of motion

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 23.61=0+1.35t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{23.61}{1.35}=17.49\ s

Time taken to accelerate to top speed is 17.49 seconds.

b) Acceleration = a = -1.8 m/s²

Initial velocity = u = 23.61\ m/s

Final velocity = v = 0

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=23.61-1.8t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{23.61}{1.8}=13.12\ s

Time taken to stop the train from top speed is 13.12 seconds

c) Initial velocity = u = 23.61 m/s

Time taken = t = 7.9 s

Final velocity = v = 0

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=23.61+a7.9\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{-23.61}{7.9}=-2.99\ m/s^2

Emergency acceleration is 2.99 m/s² (magnitude)
