A 20-newton weight is attached to a spring.

Physics
1 answer:
Makovka662 [10]3 years ago

Answer:

40 N/m

Explanation:

The diagram attached is used to answer the question

We know from Hooke's law that extension is directly proportional to the applied force hence

F=kx where x is extension, F is applied force and k is the spring constant. Making k the subject of the formula then

k=\frac {F}{k}

From the attached diagram extension is given by subtracting unstretched spring from stretched spring hence extension, x=1-0.5=0.5m

Substituting 20 N for F and 0.5 m for x then

k=\frac {20}{0.5}=40 N/m

A+10 u charge and a -10 4C (1 HC - 106 C), at a distance of 0.3 m,
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

B. Attract each other with a force of 10 newtons.

Explanation:

Statement is incorrectly written. <em>The correct form is: A </em>+10\,\mu C<em> charge and a </em>-10\,\mu C<em> at a distance of 0.3 meters. </em>

The two particles have charges opposite to each other, so they attract each other due to electrostatic force, described by Coulomb's Law, whose formula is described below:

F = \frac{\kappa \cdot |q_{A}|\cdot |q_{B}|}{r^{2}} (1)

Where:

F - Electrostatic force, in newtons.

\kappa - Electrostatic constant, in newton-square meters per square coulomb.

|q_{A}|,|q_{B}| - Magnitudes of electric charges, in coulombs.

r - Distance between charges, in meters.

If we know that \kappa  = 8.988\times 10^{9}\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{C^{2}}, |q_{A}| = |q_{B}| = 10\times 10^{-6}\,C and r = 0.3\,m, then the magnitude of the electrostatic force is:

F = \frac{\kappa \cdot |q_{A}|\cdot |q_{B}|}{r^{2}}

F = 9.987\,N

In consequence, correct answer is B.

Recall that the spring constant is inversely proportional to the number of coils in the spring, or that shorter springs equate t
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

x_1= 0.0425m

Explanation:

Using the tension in the spring and the force of the tension can by describe by

T = kx

, T = mg

Therefore:

m*g = k*x

With two springs, let, T1 be the tension in each spring,  x1 be the extension of each spring.  The spring constant of each spring is 2k so:

T_1 = 2k*x_1

2T_1 = m*g=4k x_1

Solve to x1

x_1=\frac{m*g}{4k}

x_1=\frac{k*x}{4*k}

x_1=\frac{x}{4}

x_1 = 0.170 / 4

x_1= 0.0425m

The glass in a window is 35 inches wide and 20 inches tall, and standard atmospheric pressure is 14.7 pounds per square inch. Wh
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:103 pounds

Explanation:

Given

width of window b=35 in.

height of window h=20 in.

standard atmospheric pressure P_{outside}=14.7 psi

Also P_{inside}=1.01P_{outside}

Thus Net Force on the window will be the algebraic sum of Force due to outside and inside Pressure .

F_{net}=(P_{inside}-P_{outside})\cdot A

F_{net}=P_{outside}(1.01-1)\times 35\times 20

F_{net}=14.7\times 0.01\times 35\times 20

F_{net}=102.9\ pounds\approx 103\ pounds
