Answer:

Explanation:

Depression = .75 x 10⁻² m

Load = 120 g

Spring constant = 120g / .75 x 10⁻²

= 160 x 10² g / m

b )

Depression by player

= .48 x 10⁻² m

His weight

= .48 x 10⁻² x 160 x 10² g

= 76.8 kg

So he is eligible.

The gravitational force of a star on an orbiting planet 1 is f1. planet 2, which is three times as massive as planet 1 and orbit
Margaret [11]

Let  us consider two bodies having masses m and m' respectively.

Let they are  separated by a distance of r from each other.

As per the Newtons law of gravitation ,the gravitational force between two bodies is given as -  F = G\frac{mm'}{r^{2} }   where G is the gravitational force constant.

From the above we see that F ∝ mm' and F\alpha \frac{1}{r^{2} }

Let the orbital radius of planet  A is r_{1}  = r and mass of planet is m_{1}.

Let the mass of central star is m .

Hence the gravitational force for planet A  is f_{1} =G \frac{m_{1}*m }{r^{2} }

For planet B the orbital radius  r_{2} =2r_{1} and mass m_{2} = 3 m_{1}

Hence the gravitational force f_{2} =G\frac{m m_{2} }{r^{2} }

                                                 f_{2} =G\frac{m*3m_{1} }{[2r_{1}] ^{2} }

                                                 = \frac{3}{4} G\frac{mm_{1} }{r_{1} ^{2} }

Hence the ratio is  \frac{f_{2} }{f_{1} } = \frac{\frac{3}{4}G mm_{1/r_{1} ^2}  }{Gmm_{1}/r_{1} ^2 }

                                      =\frac{3}{4}     [ ans]

in a human cannonball a person is shot from a cannon with a barrel that is 3.05 m long. 16700 J of work are done to accelerate t
ankoles [38]
The work done to accelerate the acrobat is given by
W=Fd
where F is the force applied and d the distance of application of the force.
If the barrel is 3.05 m long, then d=3.05 m. Therefore we can find the force:
F= \frac{W}{d} = \frac{17600 J}{3.05 m} =5475 N

Car A and Car B approach each other
vagabundo [1.1K]

The original frequency of horn of Car A is 1071 Hz.

Explanation:

Doppler effect describes the change in the frequency of sound waves with respect to the observer. As the sound waves emitted from a source need to travel the air medium to reach observer, it will undergo loss in energy. So there will be change in its frequency compared to original frequency. Depending upon the direction of travel of source and observer the shifting of frequency will vary.

f'=\frac{v-v_{o} }{v-v_{s} } f

Here vo is the observer velocity and vs is the velocity of the source. So Vo = 15 m/s as car B is the observer and Vs = 35 m/s as car A is the source. And f is the frequency of sound wave at source that is car A.

Similarly, the doppler shift in frequency is the frequency of sound heard by car B which is f' = 1140 Hz. And v is the speed of sound that is v = 343 m/s

1140 = \frac{343-15}{343-35}*f= 1.0649 *f

f = 1140/1.0649= 1071 Hz.

Thus, the original frequency of horn of Car A is 1071 Hz.

How many nanoseconds does it take light to travel 3.50 ft in vacuum??
Tresset [83]

light speed in vacuum = 3.8 * 10^8

Distance (Given) = 3.5 ft

now, time = distance/speed = 3.50 / 3.8 * 10^8 = 9.21 * 10^-9 s = 9.21 nanoseconds

So, your answer is 9.21 nano-seconds...
