A 3.0-kg brick rests on a perfectly smooth ramp inclined at 34° above the horizontal. The brick is kept from sliding down the pl

ane by an ideal spring that is aligned with the surface and attached to a wall above the brick.
The spring has a spring constant (force constant) of 120 N/m.

By how much does the spring stretch with the brick attached?- 240 cm- 24 cm- 14 cm- 36 cm- 360 cm

Answer:

d=0.137 m ⇒13.7 cm

Explanation:

Given data

m (Mass)=3.0 kg

α(incline) =34°

Spring Constant (force constant)=120 N/m

d (distance)=?

Solution

F=mg

F=(3.0)(9.8)

F=29.4 N

As we also know that

Force parallel to the incline=FSinα

F=29.4×Sin(34)

F=16.44 N

d(distance)=F/Spring Constant

d(distance)=16.44/120

d(distance)=0.137 m ⇒13.7 cm

A ball of mass M is suspended by a thin string (of negligible mass) from the ceiling of an elevator.uploaded image
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

(a) The elevator is traveling upward and its upward velocity is decreasing as it nears a stop at a higher floor.  T > mg

(b) The elevator is traveling upward and its upward velocity is increasing as it begins its journey towards a higher floor. T > mg

(c) The elevator is traveling downward and its downward velocity is decreasing as it nears a stop at a lower floor. T < mg

(d) The elevator is traveling downward at a constant velocity. T = mg

(e) The elevator is traveling downward and its downward velocity is increasing. T < mg

(f) The elevator is stationary and remains at rest. T = mg

Explanation:

To answer this question, consider all the forces acting on the elevator.

The mass of the ball acting downwards due to gravity = mg

The tension on the string depends on upward or downwards force on the ball. T = m(a+g)

where a is acceleration and increase in velocity causes increase in acceleration, and vice versa. (a = v/t)

(a) The elevator is traveling upward and its upward velocity is decreasing as it nears a stop at a higher floor.

If the upward velocity is decreasing, its acceleration is also decreasing, and acceleration is not equal to Zero

T = m(a+g) > mg

(b) The elevator is traveling upward and its upward velocity is increasing as it begins its journey towards a higher floor.

If the upward velocity is increasing, its acceleration is also increasing.

Then, T = m(a+g) > mg

(c) The elevator is traveling downward and its downward velocity is decreasing as it nears a stop at a lower floor.

If the downward velocity is decreasing, its acceleration is also decreasing, and acceleration is not equal to Zero

T = m(a-g) < mg

(d) The elevator is traveling downward at a constant velocity

At constant velocity, acceleration is zero, because acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.

T = m(0+g) = mg

(e) The elevator is traveling downward and its downward velocity is increasing

If the downward velocity is increasing, its acceleration is also increasing

T = m(a-g) < mg

(f) The elevator is stationary and remains at rest.

if the elevator is at rest, its acceleration is zero

T = m(0+g) = mg

An amoeba has 1.00 x 1016 protons and a net charge of 0.300 pC. Assuming there are 1.88 x 106 fewer electrons than protons, If y
Xelga [282]

Answer:

The fraction of the protons would have no electrons =1.88\times 10^{-10}

Explanation:

We are given that

Amoeba has total number of protons=1.00\times 10^{16}

Net charge, Q=0.300pC

Electrons are fewer than protons=1.88\times 10^6

We have to find the fraction of protons would have no electrons.

The fraction of the protons would have no electrons

=\frac{Fewer\;electrons}{Total\;protons}

The fraction of the protons would have no electrons

=\frac{1.88\times 10^{6}}{1.00\times 10^{16}}

=1.88\times 10^{-10}

Hence, the fraction of the protons would have no electrons =1.88\times 10^{-10}

Which explanation BEST supports Newton's second law of motion which states that force = mass x acceleration?
GaryK [48]
The answer is C. F=ma basically says that force is a function of mass multiplied by acceleration. The first two answers don’t make sense because there’s no necessary relationship between mass and acceleration. And for the last two, the higher the mass, the higher the force needed, therefore C is the correct answer.
