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.

Define neuron and nerve<br>cell​
san4es73 [151]

Answer: Hi!

A neuron is a basic working unit of the brain. Neurons are special cells designed to transfer information to other nerve, muscle, or gland cells. They are pretty cool - looking too! (A slightly irregular circular shape with branches reaching out from all sides.) A neuron is a nerve cell. Nerve cells are the way of communication in the nervous system.

Hope this helps!

A rotating merry go-round makes one complete revolution in 4.2 s. (a) what is the linear speed of a child seated 1.3 m from the
gregori [183]
The radius, r, of the child from the center of the wheel is
r = 1.3 m

The wheel makes one revolution in 4.2 s. Its angular velocity is
ω = (2π rad)/(4.2 s) = 1.496 rad/s

The linear speed of the child is the tangential velocity, given by
v = rω
   = (1.3 m)*(1.496 rad/s)
   = 1.945 m/s

Answer: 1.95 m/s  (nearest hundredth)

A lead ball is dropped into a lake from a diving board 5.0 m above the water. After entering the water, it sinks to the bottom w
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

|D_{depth} |=19.697m

Explanation:

To find Depth D of lake we must need to find the time taken to hit the water.So we use equation of simple motion as:

Δx=vit+(1/2)at²

x_{f}-x_{i}=v_{i}t+(1/2)at^{2}\\  -5.0m=(o)t+(1/2)(-9.8m/s^{2} )t^{2}\\ -4.9t^{2}=-5.0\\ t^{2}=5/4.9\\t=\sqrt{1.02} \\t=1.01s

As we have find the time taken now we need to find the final velocity vf from below equation as

v_{f}=v_{i}+at\\v_{f}=0+(-9.8m/s^{2} )(1.01s) \\v_{f}=-9.898m/s

So the depth of lake is given by:

first we need to find total time as

t=3.0-1.01 =1.99 s

|D_{depth} |=|vt|\\|D_{depth} |=|(-9.898m/s)(1.99s)|\\|D_{depth} |=19.697m
