Answer:

k = 5.05 N/m

Explanation:

In order to calculate the spring mass of the system, you use the following formula:

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$ (1)

T: period of oscillation of the system

m: mass of the air-track glider = 200g = 0.200 kg

k: spring constant = ?

You first calculate the period of oscillation:

$T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{12/15.0s}=1.25s$

Next, you solve the equation (1) for k, and then you replace the values of the other parmateres:

$k=4\pi^2 \frac{m}{T^2}\\\\k=4\pi^2 \frac{0.200kg}{(1.25s)^2}=5.05\frac{N}{m}$

The spring constant of the spring is 5.05 N/m

A bullet with a mass of 0.3 kg is fired out of a gun with a mass of 4 kg at 600 m/s. What is the recoil velocity on the gun?

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

According to the Conservation of Momentum,

Momentum of the gun = momentum of the bullet

M(gun)×V(gun)=m(bullet)×v(bullet)

4kg × V = 0.3kg × 600m/s²

V = (0.3 × 600)/4 = 45 m/s

The recoil velocity on the gun is <em><u>45 m/s</u></em>

<h3><u>45 m/s</u> is the right answer.</h3>

Although these quantities vary from one type of cell to another, a cell can be 1.9 μm in diameter with a cell wall 60 nm thick.

DaniilM [7]

Answer: $2(10)^{-9} mg$

Explanation:

We know the total diameter of the cell (assumed spherical) is:

$d=1.9\mu m=1.9(10)^{-6} m$

Then its total radius $r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{1.9(10)^{-6} m}{2}=9.5(10)^{-7} m$

On the other hand, we know the thickness of the cell wall is $r_{t}=60 nm= 60(10)^{-9} m$ and its density is the same as water ( $\rho=997 kg/m^{3}$ ).

Since density is the relation between the mass $m$ and the volume $V$ :

$\rho=\frac{m}{V}$

The mass is: $m=\rho V$ (1)

Now if we are talking about this cell as a thin spherical shell, its volume will be:

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi R^{3}$ (2)

Where $R=r-r_{w}=9.5(10)^{-7} m - 60(10)^{-9} m$

Then:

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi (9.5(10)^{-7} m - 60(10)^{-9} m)^{3}$ (3)

$V=2.952(10)^{-18} m^{3}$ (4)

Substituting (4) in (1):

$m=(997 kg/m^{3})(2.952(10)^{-18} m^{3})$ (5)

$m=2.94(10)^{-15} kg$ (6)

Knowing $1 kg=1000 g$ and $1 mg=0.001 g$ :

$m=2.94(10)^{-15} kg=2(10)^{-9} mg$

Compare the atmospheres of Mars and Venus. Mars is rich in oxygen, like ours, accounting for its red surface. Like Earth, nitrog

enyata [817]

Answer:

Explanation:

Venus's atmosphere is very thick, dry and hot whereas Mars's atmosphere is very thin and cold.

Both Venus's and Mars's atmospheres are about 95 percent carbon dioxide.

The surface temperature of Venus is around 890 degrees F, the hottest average temperature in the Solar System. This is due to abundance of greenhouse gasses. The atmosphere of Venus is composed of 97% CO2, 2% N2 and less than 1% of O2, H2O and CH4 (methane). Since CO2 is a major greenhouse gas, the radiation from the Sun is trapped in the atmosphere of Venus producing an extremely high surface temperature.

Mars has an atmospheric composition of 95% CO2, 3% N2, 2% Ar and less than 1% O2.A high noble gas content implies that Mar's atmosphere was much thicker in the past (noble gases do not react with other elements and are heavy enough to stay within the gravitational field of Mars). The climate on Mars is very desert-like due to its thin atmosphere. There is too little mass in the atmosphere to hold in heat so the warmest daytime temperatures are around 50 degrees F, but the nighttime temperatures are -170 degrees F. Other weather features are massive dust storms and occasional CO2 fog in the canyons.
