A mass of 3.0 kg rests on a smooth surface inclined 34° above the horizontal. It is kept from sliding down the plane by a spring

attached to a wall. The spring is aligned with the plane and has a spring constant of 120 N/m. How much does the spring stretch?

Answer:

The spring stretched by x = 13.7 cm

Explanation:

Given data

Mass = 3 kg

k = 120 \frac{N}{m}

Angle \theta = 34°

From the free body diagram

Force acting on the box = mg sin\theta

⇒ F = 3 × 9.81 × \sin34

⇒ F = 16.45 N ------- (1)

Since box is attached with the spring so a spring force also acts on the box.

F_{sp} = k x

F_{sp} = 120 x -------- (2)

The net force acting on the body is given by

F_{net} = ma

Since acceleration of the box is zero so

F_{net} = 0

F - F_{sp} = 0

F = F_{sp}

Put the values from equation (1) & (2) we get

16.45 = 120x

x = 0.137 m

x = 13.7 cm

Therefore the spring stretched by x = 13.7 cm

How do you calculate the electric force by object a exerted on object a (itself)?
max2010maxim [7]

I don't think an object can exert a force on itself.

Try it: Get up on a skateboard, and see if you can do anything to yourself that makes you start moving ... without touching anything else.

It'll be easy to tell if you succeed. If you actually do exert an unbalanced force on yourself, then you'll begin to accelerate.

As part of an interview for a summer job with the Coast Guard, you are asked to help determine the search area for two sunken sh
MrMuchimi

Answer:37^{\circ} North of west

Explanation:

Given

40,000-ton luxury line traveling 20 knots towards west and

60,000 ton freighter traveling towards North with 10 knots

suppose v is the common velocity after collision

conserving momentum in west direction

20\times 40,000=(20,000+60,000)v\cos \theta

suppose the final velocity makes \theta angle with x axis

v\cos \theta =10----1

Conserving Momentum in North direction

10\times 60,000=80,000\times v\sin\theta

v\sin \theta =\frac{15}{2}----2

divide 1 and 2

\tan \theta =\frac{3}{4}

\theta =37^{\circ}

so search in the area 37^{\circ} North of west to find the ship

An engineer has the task of producing an aluminum alloy with a density of 3.0 grams per cubic centimeter. She comes up with the
pochemuha

Answer:

The best option is for the following option m = 15 [g] and V = 5 [cm³]

Explanation:

We have that the density of a body is defined as the ratio of mass to volume.

Ro =m/V

where:

Ro = density = 3 [g/cm³]

Now we must determine the densities with each of the given values.

<u>For m = 7 [g] and V = 2.3 [cm³]</u>

Ro=7/2.3\\Ro=3.04 [g/cm^{3} ]

<u>For m = 10 [g] and V = 7 [cm³]</u>

<u />Ro=10/7\\Ro=1.42[g/cm^{3} ]\\<u />

<u>For m = 15 [g] and V = 5 [cm³]</u>

<u />Ro=15/5\\Ro=3[g/cm^{3} ]\\<u />

<u>For m = 21 [g] and V = 8 [cm³]</u>

<u />Ro=21/8\\Ro=2.625[g/cm^{3} ]\\<u />

Based on the data in the table...especially the provided melting points, which two substances are
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

The two substances that are mostly likely examples of covalent bonding are Sucrose and Ethanol.

<h3 /><h3 /><h3>What is a covalent Bond?</h3>
  • A covalent bond is a type of chemical bond that involves the sharing of pairs of electron between atoms.

Examples of compounds with covalent bond include the following;

  • Distilled water
  • Sucrose
  • Ethanol

Olive oil is a mixture not a compound

Sodium Chloride & Potassium lodide are examples of ionic bond.

Thus, the two substances that are mostly likely examples of covalent bonding are Sucrose and Ethanol.
