Answer:
0.037 N/m
Explanation:
The web acts as a spring, so it obeys Hook's law:
(1)
where
F is the force exerted on the web
k is the spring constant
x is the stretching/compression of the web
In this problem, we have:
- The mass of the fly is
- The force exerted on the web is the weight of the fly, so:
- The stretching of the web is
So if we solve eq.(1) for k, we find the spring constant:
Answer:
The time that will pass between the feeling and hearing the explosion is 2,86 secs
Explanation:
First, let's calculate the time that the wave takes to travel until the actors feel the explosion:
Now, the time that pass while the actors hear the sound is:
<em>(Remember that the sound speed in the air is 340 m/s on average)</em>
So, the time between the feeling and hearing is 3,23 - 0,37 = 2,86 secs
