One end of a 7-cm-long spring is attached to the ceiling. When a 5.4 kg mass is hung from the other end, the spring is stretched

by a length of 4.3 cm. How long is the spring when a 3.3 kg mass is suspended from it in cm?

Answer:

2.63 cm

Explanation:

Hooke's law gives that the force F is equal to cy where c is spring constant and x is extension

Making c the subject of the formula then

$c=\frac {F}{y}$

Since F is gm but taking the given mass to be F

$c=\frac {5.4 kg}{4.3 cm}=1.2558139534883720930232558139534883720930$

By substitution now considering F to be 3.3 kg

$y=\frac {3.3 kg}{1.2558139534883720930232558139534883720930}=2.6277777777777 cm\approx 2.63 cm$

If the car’s speed decreases at a constant rate from 64 mi/h to 30 mi/h in 3.0 s, what is the magnitude of its acceleration, ass

mixas84 [53]

Answer: $3.874 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given

Car speed decreases at a constant rate from 64 mi/h to 30 mi/h

in 3 sec

$60mi/h \approx 26.8224m/s$

$34mi/h \approx 15.1994 m/s$

we know acceleration is given by $=\frac{velocity}{Time}$

$a=\frac{15.1994-26.8224}{3}$

$a=-3.874 m/s^2$

negative indicates that it is stopping the car

Distance traveled

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$\left ( 15.1994\right )^2-\left ( 26.8224\right )^2=2\left ( -3.874\right )s$

$s=\frac{488.419}{2\times 3.874}$

s=63.038 m

A 0.150 kg baseball has 118 j of KE. how fast is the ball moving?(unit=m/s)

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Explanation 118 = (1/2) * 0.15 * v² 118 = 0.075 * v² v² = 1573.33 m/s ... since KE = m/2*V^2 , then : V = √2KE/m = √20*118/1.5 = 39.67 m//sec ( 142.8 km/h ; 88.75 mph).:

Consider a satellite in a circular orbit around the Earth. If it were at an altitude equal to twice the radius of the Earth, 2RE

Elenna [48]

Answer:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{gR_E}{2}}$

Explanation:

Satellites experiment a force given by Newton's Gravitation Law:

$F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}$

where M is Earth's mass, m the satellite's mass, r the distance between their gravitational centers and G the gravitational constant.

We also know from Newton's 2nd Law that <em>F=ma, </em>so putting both together we will have:

$ma=\frac{GMm}{r^2}$

$a=\frac{GM}{r^2}$

If we are on the surface of the Earth, the acceleration would be g and $r=R_E$ (Earth's radius):

$g=\frac{GM}{R_E^2}$

Which we will write as:

$gR_E^2=GM$

If we are on orbit the acceleration is centripetal ( $a=\frac{v^2}{r}$ ), so we have:

$\frac{v^2}{r}=a=\frac{GM}{r^2}=\frac{gR_E^2}{r^2}$

$v^2=\frac{gR_E^2}{r}$

$v=\sqrt{\frac{gR_E^2}{r}}$

And if this orbit has a radius $r=2R_E$ we have:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{gR_E^2}{2R_E}}=\sqrt{\frac{gR_E}{2}}$
