As a planet's semimajor axis gets smaller, its speed will _ and its period will ___ .

Well first of all, a planet doesn't have a semimajor axis, although it's orbit does.

In an orbit with a smaller semimajor axis, the planet moves faster, and its orbital period is shorter.

That's why the International Space Station circles the Earth in less time than the Moon does.

What is the net work done on the 20kg block while it moves the 4 meters?

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 784.8 J. None of your answer, did you forget some information?

Explanation:

Data

mass = 20 kg

distance = 4 m

work = ?

Formula

Work = force x distance

Force = mass x gravity

Process

1.- Calculate the weight of the block

Weight = 20 x 9.81

Weight = 196.2 N

2.- Calculate the work done

Work = 196.2 x 4

Work = 784.8 J

Several springs are connected as illustrated below in (a). Knowing the individual springs stiffness k1 = 20 N/m, k2 = 30 N/m, k3

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

The equivalent stiffness of the string is 8.93 N/m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Spring stiffness is

$k_{1}=20\ N/m$

$k_{2}=30\ N/m$

$k_{3}=15\ N/m$

$k_{4}=20\ N/m$

$k_{5}=35\ N/m$

According to figure,

$k_{2}$ and $k_{3}$ is in series

We need to calculate the equivalent

Using formula for series

$\dfrac{1}{k}=\dfrac{1}{k_{2}}+\dfrac{1}{k_{3}}$

$k=\dfrac{k_{2}k_{3}}{k_{2}+k_{3}}$

Put the value into the formula

$k=\dfrac{30\times15}{30+15}$

$k=10\ N/m$

k and $k_{4}$ is in parallel

We need to calculate the k'

Using formula for parallel

$k'=k+k_{4}$

Put the value into the formula

$k'=10+20$

$k'=30\ N/m$

$k_{1}$ ,k' and $k_{5}$ is in series

We need to calculate the equivalent stiffness of the spring

Using formula for series

$k_{eq}=\dfrac{1}{k_{1}}+\dfrac{1}{k'}+\dfrac{1}{k_{5}}$

Put the value into the formula

$k_{eq}=\dfrac{1}{20}+\dfrac{1}{30}+\dfrac{1}{35}$

$k_{eq}=8.93\ N/m$

Hence, The equivalent stiffness of the string is 8.93 N/m.
