Answer:

The question is incomplete. However, I believe, it is asking for the acceleration of the elevator. This is 3.16 m/s².

Explanation:

By Hooke's law, F = ke

F is the force on a spring, k is the spring constant and e is the extension or compression.

From the question,

F = (1.08\text{ kN/m}) \times (6.0 \times 10^{-2}\text{ m}) = 64.8 \text{ N}

This is the force on the mass suspended on the spring. Its acceleration, a, is given by

F = ma

a = \dfrac{F}{m}

a = \dfrac{64.8 \text{ N}}{5\text{ kg}} = 12.96\text{ m/s}^2

This acceleration is more than the acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s². Hence the elevator must be moving up with an acceleration of

12.96 - 9.8 m/s² = 3.16 m/s²

The magnetic field strength at the north pole of a 2.0-cmcm-diameter, 8-cmcm-long Alnico magnet is 0.10 TT. To produce the same
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

2653 turns

Explanation:

We are given that

Diameter,d=2 cm

Length of magnet,l=8 cm=8\times 10^{-2} m

1m=100 cm

Magnetic field,B=0.1 T

Current,I=2.4 A

We are given that

Magnetic field of solenoid and magnetic are same and size of both solenoid and magnetic are also same.

Length of solenoid=8\times 10^{-2} m

Magnetic field of solenoid

B=\frac{\mu_0NI}{l}

Using the formula

0.1=\frac{4\pi\times 10^{-7}\times 2.4\times N}{8\times 10^{-2}}

Where \mu_0=4\pi\times 10^{-7}

N=\frac{0.1\times 8\times 10^{-2}}{4\pi\times 10^{-7}\times 2.4}=2653 turns

What causes clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar
just olya [345]
<h2>Answer: Gravitational attraction </h2>

Gravity force causes the clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar. As this <u>attraction force</u> is responsible for gathering and compressing the existing elements in the cloud of gas and dust, heating them during this process.

Then, when the amount of material accumulated by gravitational contraction is large enough, and the temperature and pressure reached high enough, the <u>nuclear fusion</u> process will begin.

To understand it better: The hydrogen nuclei will begin to fuse, generating helium nuclei in the process and releasing huge amounts of energy.

It should be noted that the protostars radiate half of the energy contributed by the gravitational collapse and the other half is invested in heating its core.

A rocket is launched from the surface of Earth with a speed v0 that will allow the rocket to escape the gravitational field of E
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

option ( a ) is correct .

Explanation:

Escape velocity on the earth = √ ( 2 GM / R )

where G is universal gravitational constant , M is mass of the earth and R is radius .

V₀ = √ ( 2 GM / R )

escape velocity on the planet where mass is equal is earth's mass and radius is 4 times that of the earth

Radius of the planet = 4 R

escape velocity of planet = √ ( 2 GM / 4R )

= .5 x √ ( 2 GM / R )

= .5 V₀

option ( a ) is correct .
