Answer: B. A magnet pulls a nail towards it

Explanation: Out of the list of answers, this is the only answer where a force is acting on an object. the act of the magnet pulling on the nail is the force, and the nail is the object.

A 10-cm-long spring is attached to theceiling. When a 2.0 kg mass is hung from it,the spring stretches to a length of 15 cm.a.Wh
alekssr [168]

(a) 392 N/m

Hook's law states that:

F=k\Delta x (1)

where

F is the force exerted on the spring

k is the spring constant

\Delta x is the stretching/compression of the spring

In this problem:

- The force exerted on the spring is equal to the weight of the block attached to the spring:

F=mg=(2.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=19.6 N

- The stretching of the spring is

\Delta x=15 cm-10 cm=5 cm=0.05 m

Solving eq.(1) for k, we find the spring constant:

k=\frac{F}{\Delta x}=\frac{19.6 N}{0.05 m}=392 N/m

(b) 17.5 cm

If a block of m = 3.0 kg is attached to the spring, the new force applied is

F=mg=(3.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=29.4 N

And so, the stretch of the spring is

\Delta x=\frac{F}{k}=\frac{29.4 N}{392 N/m}=0.075 m=7.5 cm

And since the initial lenght of the spring is

x_0 = 10 cm

The final length will be

x_f = x_0 +\Delta x=10 cm+7.5 cm=17.5 cm

This is physics 11th grade and a homework question I don’t understand how to do this or what the question is asking me
Alexxx [7]

a) Frequency is the number of complete oscillations per second. Looking at the graph, there are 9 complete oscillations in 5 seconds. Thus,

Frequency = 9/5 = 1.8 oscillations per second

Frequency = 1.8 Hz

Period = 1/frequency = 1/1.8

Period = 0.056 s

b) When we differenctiate displacement with respect to time, the result is velocity.

Recall, period = 1/f = 5/9 cycles

1/4 cycle behind = 1/4 x 5/9 = 5/36

It is delayed with 5/36 sec with respect to displacement.

5/36 sec = 0.139 sec

Acceleration = first derivative of velocity = second derivative of displacement = 1/4 cycle behind velocity = 1/2 cycle behind displacement =

5/36 = 0.139 sec delayed with respect to velocity

= 5/18 = 0.2777 secs delayed with respect to displacement

Thus, the number of seconds out of phase with the displacements is 0.278 seconds

c) The formula for calculating the period of an ideal pendulum anywhere is

T = 2π√length/local gravity). We would calculate the local gravity.

From the information given,

length = 0.2

T = P = 5/9

Thus,

5/9 = 2π√0.2/local gravity)

(5/9)/2π = √0.2/local gravity

Square both sides. It becomes

[(5/9)/2π]^2 = 0.2/local gravity

local gravity = 0.2/[(5/9)/2π]^2

local gravity = 25.56 m/s^2

Thus,

acceleration due to gravity = 25.56 m/s^2

Recall, earth's gravity = 9.8 m/s^2

number of g forces = 25.56/9.8

number of g forces = 2.61

A 40 g ball rolls around a 30 cm -diameter L-shaped track, shown in the figure, (Figure 1)at 60 rpm . What is the magnitude of t
levacccp [35]

Answer:

0.47 N

Explanation:

Here we have a ball in motion along a circular track.

For an object in circular motion, there is a force that "pulls" the object towards the centre of the circle, and this force is responsible for keeping the object in circular motion.

This force is called centripetal force, and its magnitude is given by:

F=m\omega^2 r

where

m is the mass of the object

\omega is the angular velocity

r is the radius of the circle

For the ball in this problem we have:

m = 40 g = 0.04 kg is the mass of the ball

\omega =60 rpm \cdot \frac{2\pi rad/rev}{60 s/min}=6.28 rad/s is the angular velocity

r = 30 cm = 0.30 m is the radius of the circle

Substituting, we find the force:

F=(0.040)(6.28)^2(0.30)=0.47 N

A cylinder with a moving piston expands from an initial volume of 0.250 L against an external pressure of 2.00 atm. The expansio
Step2247 [10]

The final volume of the gas is 144.25 L

Explanation:

For an ideal gas kept at constant pressure, the work done by the gas on the surroundings is given by

W=p\Delta V = p(V_f - V_i)

where

p is the pressure of the gas

V_i is the initial volume

V_f is the final volume

For the gas in the cylinder in this problem,

p = 2.00 atm

V_i = 0.250 L

And we also know the work done,

W = 288 J

So we can solve the equation for V_f, the final volume:

V_f = V_i + \frac{W}{p}=0.250 + \frac{288}{2.00}=144.25 L
