What is the net force at the equilibrium point? Derive an equation for the location of the equilibrium point based on the accele

To find a general equilibrium point for a spring based on the hook law, it is possible to start from the following premise:

Hook's law is given by:

F = k\Delta X

Where,

k= Spring Constant

\Delta X = Change in Length

F = Force

When there is a Mass we have two force acting at the System:

W= mg

Where W is the force product of the weigth. Then the force net can be defined as,

F_{net} = F+W

But we have a system in equilibrium, so

0 = K\Delta X -mg

We find the equilibrium for any location when

\Delta X = \frac{mg}{k}

How do motors use energy? Do they convert electrical energy into mechanical energy OR mechanical energy into electrical energy?
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

Motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy

Explanation:

A motor uses electrical energy to create mechanical energy by creating magnetic fields causing the motor to spin. A generator is the opposite and converts mechanical into electrical by spinning a motor in a magnetic field.

How much heat is required to convert 0.3 kg of ice at 0°C to water at the same temperature
madreJ [45]

Answer:  

100,800 Jkg


The heat that is used to change the state of a mater is called latent heat.

In this case it is converting ice to water and it is called latent heat of fusion.

It is given by:

Heat  = mc

where m is the mass of ice and l is the specific latent heat of fusion of ice.

l = 0.336 MJ

Heat = 0.3 × 0.336 MJ

        = 0.3 × 0.336 × 10⁶

        = 100,800 Jkg

what causes places near the equator to receive more direct sunlight than the poles? the poles are farther away from the sun than
Andru [333]
This is due to the tilt of the earth on its axis. Although the Sun shines on Earth, because of how the Earth is tilted, the equator is more directly hit compared to places found on the poles. The poles are hit at an angle, therefore the sunlight they receive is lesser than the places at the equator.

How is it possible for a single sedimentary rock to contain rock particles animal shells and minerals that crystallized from wat
shutvik [7]
"Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the deposition of material at the Earth's surface and within bodies of water. Sedimentation is the collective name for processes that cause mineral and/or organic particles (detritus) to settle and accumulate or minerals to precipitate from a solution."

Identify the situations that have an unbalanced force. Check all that apply. A baseball speeds up as it falls through the air. A
viktelen [127]
<span>A baseball speeds up as it falls through the air.
Yes.  Forces on the balloon are unbalanced. 
The balloon is speeding up, so we know that the downward force
of gravity is stronger than the upward force of air resistance.

A soccer ball is at rest on the ground.
No. The ball is not accelerating, so we know that the forces on it
are balanced.
The downward force of gravity on the ball and the upward force
of the ground are equal.


An ice skater glides in a straight line at a constant speed.
No. The skater's speed and direction are not changing, so he is not
accelerating.  That tells us that the forces on him are balanced.

A bumper car hit by another car moves off at an angle.
Yes.  The direction in which the car was moving changed. 
That's acceleration, so we know that the forces on it are unbalanced,
at least at the moment of impact. 

A balloon flies across the room when the air is released.
Yes.  The balloon was not moving. But when the little nozzle was
opened, it started to zip around the room.  So its speed changed.
And, as it goes bloozing around the room, its direction keeps changing too. 
There's a whole lot of acceleration going on, so we know the forces on it
are unbalanced.</span>
