Answer:
a = 12 [m/s²]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law which tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.
ΣF = m*a
where:
ΣF = sum of forces acting on a body [N] (units of Newtons)
m = mass = 0.5 [kg]
a = acceleration [m/s²]
Let's take the direction of positive forces to the right and negative forces directed to the left
2 + 8 - 4 = 0.5*a
6 = 0.5*a
a = 12 [m/s²]
Strength/magnitude would both work
Solid substances have molecules held tightly and close together
Liquid substances have molecules moving loosely
Gaseous molecules are moving completely freely
As moleclues get further apart, i.e. As a substance changes state from solid to liquid to gas, molecules gain kinetic energy and vibrate/move more. This means they gain heat energy (the averge energy a substance has) so the temperature increases
Substances exist in different states at different temperatures and different substances will exist in different states at the same temperature. This is to do with the forces between molecules and how much heat (energy) is required to break them
Gravity decreases with the square of the distance, so the new force is (20)/(2*2) = 5N.
Answer:
The value is 
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of the object is 
The unstressed length of the string is 
The length of the spring when it is at equilibrium is 
The initial speed (maximum speed)of the spring when given a downward blow 
Generally the maximum speed of the spring is mathematically represented as
Here A is maximum height above the floor (i.e the maximum amplitude)
and 
is the angular frequency which is mathematically represented as
So
=> 
Gnerally the length of the compression(Here an assumption that the spring was compressed to the ground by the hammer is made) by the hammer is mathematically represented as
=> 
=> 
Generally at equilibrium position the net force acting on the spring is
=> 
=> 
So
=>
