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

How is acceleration related to force when mass is constant, according to Newton's second law of motion?
kherson [118]

Answer:

According to Newton's second law of motion, acceleration is directly proportional to force. As the force increases (when mass is constant), the acceleration increases. This can be shown in the following formula.

f = ma

a =  \frac{f}{m}

f = force

m = mass

a = acceleration

How was the speed of light determined
goblinko [34]
Presently, the speed of light in a vacuum is defined to be exactly 299,792,458 m/s (approximately 186,282 miles per second). . An early experiment to measure the speed of light was conducted by Ole Romer, a Danish physicist, in 1676. Using a telescope, Ole observed the motions of Jupiter and one of its moons, Io

A small sphere with mass m is attached to a massless rod of length L that is pivoted at the top, forming a simple pendulum. The
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

a) see attached, a = g sin θ

b)

c)   v = √(2gL (1-cos θ))

Explanation:

In the attached we can see the forces on the sphere, which are the attention of the bar that is perpendicular to the movement and the weight of the sphere that is vertical at all times. To solve this problem, a reference system is created with one axis parallel to the bar and the other perpendicular to the rod, the weight of decomposing in this reference system and the linear acceleration is given by

          Wₓ = m a

          W sin θ = m a

          a = g sin θ

b) The diagram is the same, the only thing that changes is the angle that is less

                θ' = 9/2  θ

             

c) At this point the weight and the force of the bar are in the same line of action, so that at linear acceleration it is zero, even when the pendulum has velocity v, so it follows its path.

The easiest way to find linear speed is to use conservation of energy

Highest point

            Em₀ = mg h = mg L (1-cos tea)

Lowest point

          Emf = K = ½ m v²

          Em₀ = Emf

          g L (1-cos θ) = v² / 2

              v = √(2gL (1-cos θ))
