Answer:

D) 7500 N/m

Explanation:

Given :

Work done by the spring, W = 6 J

Stretch in the spring, x = 4 cm = 0.04 m

Consider k be the spring constant.

The relation between work done and stretch of the spring is:

$W=\frac{1}{2}kx^{2}$

Substitute the suitable values in the above equation.

$6=\frac{1}{2}k(0.04)^{2}$

$k=\frac{12}{1.6\times10^{-3} }$

k = 7500 N/m

Oxana [17]

Answer:

(D) 3

Explanation:

The angular momentum is given by:

$\vec{L}=\vec{r}\ X \ \vec{p}$

Thus, the magnitude of the angular momenta of both solar systems are given by:

$L_1=Rm_1v_1=Rm_1(\omega R)=R^2m_1(\frac{2\pi}{T_1})=2\pi R^2\frac{m_1}{T_1}\\\\L_2=Rm_2v_2=2\pi R^2\frac{m_2}{T_2}$

where we have taken that both systems has the same radius.

By taking into account that T1=3T2, we have

$L_1=2\pi R^2\frac{m_1}{3T_2}=\frac{1}{3}2\pi R^2\frac{1}{T_2}m_1=\frac{1}{3}\frac{L_2}{m_2}m_1$

but L1=L2=L:

$L=\frac{1}{3}L\frac{m_1}{m_2}\\\\\frac{m_1}{m_2}=3$

Hence, the answer is (D) 3

Suppose the entire solar nebula had cooled to 50 K before the solar wind cleared the early solar system of its gases. How would

Butoxors [25]

Suppose the entire solar nebula had cooled to 50 K before the solar wind cleared the early solar system of its gases. How would the composition and sizes of the planets of the inner solar system be different from what we see today is given below

Explanation:

1.In astronomy or planetary science, the frost line, also known as the snow line or ice line, is the particular distance in the solar nebula from the central protostar where it is cold enough for volatile compounds such as water, ammonia, methane, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide to condense into solid ice grains.

2.The frost line in the solar nebula lies between Mars and Jupiter. It is the distance where it was cold enough for hydrogen compounds to condense into ices. Frost line: Explain how temperature differences led to the formation of two distinct types of planets.

3. The frost line is the point moving away from the Sun where it is cool enough for hydrogen compounds to freeze. Since the solar nebula was hotter near the center of the disk, hydrogen compounds such as water stayed gaseous in the inner solar system. Outside of the frost line, they froze.

4.The solar nebula flattened into a rotating disk. As gas became dense and hot, then it spins faster and pulled towards the center whereby the sun is formed. Solar nebula they collapse where the protostellar disk rotates. In the center of of nebula, there is a fusion begins and then sun is being formed

5.When it comes to the formation of our Solar System, the most widely accepted view is known as the Nebular Hypothesis. In essence, this theory states that the Sun, the planets, and all other objects in the Solar System formed from nebulous material billions of years ago.

A 0.29 kg particle moves in an xy plane according to x(t) = - 19 + 1 t - 3 t3 and y(t) = 20 + 7 t - 9 t2, with x and y in meters

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Part a)

$F = 7.76 N$

Part b)

$\theta = -137.7 degree$

Part c)

$\theta = -127.7 degree$

Explanation:

As we know that acceleration is rate of change in velocity of the object

So here we know that

$x = -19 + t - 3t^3$

$y = 20 + 7t - 9t^2$

Part a)

differentiate x and y two times with respect to time to find the acceleration

$a_x = \frac{d^2}{dt^2}(-19 + t - 3t^3)$

$a_x = \frac{d}{dt}(0 +1 - 9t^2)$

$a_x = -18t$

$a_y = \frac{d^2}{dt^2}(20 + 7t - 9t^2)$

$a_y = \frac{d}{dt}(0 +7 - 18t)$

$a_y = -18$

Now the acceleration of the object is given as

$\vec a = (-18t)\hat i + (-18)\hat j$

at t= 1.1 s we have

$\vec a = -19.8 \hat i - 18 \hat j$

now the net force of the object is given as

$\vec F = m\vec a$

$\vec F = (0.29 kg)(-19.8 \hat i - 18 \hat j)$

$\vec F = -5.74 \hat i - 5.22 \hat j$

now magnitude of the force will be

$F = \sqrt{5.74^2 + 5.22^2} = 7.76 N$

Part b)

Direction of the force is given as

$tan\theta = \frac{F_y}{F_x}$

$tan\theta = \frac{-5.22}{-5.74}$

$\theta = -137.7 degree$

Part c)

For velocity of the particle we have

$v_x = \frac{dx}[dt}$

$v_x = (0 +1 - 9t^2)$

$v_y = \frac{dy}{dt}$

$v_y = (0 +7 - 18t)$

now at t = 1.1 s

$\vec v = -9.89\hat i - 12.8 \hat j$

now the direction of the velocity is given as

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{v_y}{v_x})$

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{-12.8}{-9.89})$

$\theta = -127.7 degree$
