Answer:
k = 5.05 N/m
Explanation:
In order to calculate the spring mass of the system, you use the following formula:
(1)
T: period of oscillation of the system
m: mass of the air-track glider = 200g = 0.200 kg
k: spring constant = ?
You first calculate the period of oscillation:
Next, you solve the equation (1) for k, and then you replace the values of the other parmateres:
The spring constant of the spring is 5.05 N/m
Answer:
1703.24J
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of brick = 7.9kg
Height of building = 22m
Unknown:
Potential energy of the brick = ?
Solution:
The potential energy of a body is the energy at rest of the body. Mathematically;
P.E = mgh
m is the mass of the brick
g is the acceleration due to gravity
h is the height of the building
Insert the given parameters and solve;
P.E = 7.9 x 9.8 x 22 = 1703.24J
Answer:
Explanation:
See the attachment for the details. A right triangle is formed to find the hypotenuse of the two legs consisting of the actual driving distances and times. The hypotenuse gives the vector information for the displacement at the end of 8 hours of driving.
The individual driving times and distances are summed to provide:
(<u>a) How far did he travel?</u>
103 km
<u>(b) What was his average speed?</u>
12.88 km/h
<u>(c) What was his displacement?</u>
73.82 km
<u>(d) What was his average velocity?</u>
9.228 km/h
Answer: One quarter of the force
Explanation:
According to Newton's law of Gravitation, the force 
exerted between two bodies of masses 
and 
and separated by a distance 
is equal to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance:
(1)
Where 
is the gravitational constant
This means that the gravity force decreases when the distance between these two bodies increases.
In this context, if the distance between the capsule and the Earth increases twice, the new distance will be 
.
Substituting this distance in (1):
(2)
<u>Finally:</u>
>>>This means the force toward Earth becomes one quarter "weaker"
Answer:
a) Explanation below. b) Explanation below
Explanation:
Torque is defined as the product of a force by a radius, while momentum is defined as the product of force by a distance. Mathematically we would have
T = F * r
M = F * d
where:
T = torque = [N*m]
M = moment = [N*m]
F = force =[N]
d = distance [m]
r = radius [m]
Although they have the same units, the difference between them is the application. For the case of torque this is always applied in parts that are in rotation, such as the shafts of cars, the shafts of pumps, torque in gears and etc. While the moment can be applied to a body without the need for it to rotate.
A couple, is as its name suggests a couple of forces of equal magnitude but opposite sense and do not share a line of action. A body under the action of a couple of forces tends to rotate the body without moving it from one point to another.
