A mass of 0.54 kg attached to a vertical spring stretches the spring 36 cm from its original equilibrium position. The accelerat

UNO [17]

<h2>Spring constant is 14.72 N/m</h2>

Explanation:

We have for a spring

Force = Spring constant x Elongation

F = kx

Here force is weight of mass

F = W = mg = 0.54 x 9.81 = 5.3 N

Elongation, x = 36 cm = 0.36 m

Substituting

F = kx

5.3 = k x 0.36

k = 14.72 N/m

Spring constant is 14.72 N/m

How many orders of magnitude (powers of ten) is the distance to the moon greater than the distance across the Atlantic ocean?

kupik [55]

Answer:

The distance to the moon greater than the distance across the Atlantic ocean by an order of 1.

Explanation:

We have the average distance across the Atlantic ocean, $d_i=3700\ mi$

the average distance to the moon, $d_m=238,900\ mi$

The factor by which the distance to moon is greater than the width of Atlantic ocean:

$f=\frac{d_m}{d_i}$

$f=\frac{238,900}{3700}$

$f=64.57$

i.e.

the distance to the moon greater than the distance across the Atlantic ocean by an order of 1.

8. Gravity pulls a skydiver down as air

sweet [91]

Answer:

Air resistance is pushing up on the parachute and force of gravity is pulling down so she slows down. This increases friction which slows free fall down. So when the skydiver reaches terminal velocity, the force of gravity is balance by air resistance. But when the forces are balance, there is no acceleration.

A 100 kg boat is floating in water. half of the boat is submerged under water. what is the weight of the boat?

Alex17521 [72]

W=MG
w is weight
m is mass
g is gravity
W=(100 kg)(9.8 m/s)
W= 980 N
hope this helps
