Answer:

the spring will stretch 10 cm

Explanation:

With the 40 N mass hanging from it, the restorative force of the spring will equal 40 N.

Let's recall that the restorative force "F" of the spring has a magnitude proportional to the displacement "x" from its relax position as per the following formula:

F = k* x where "k" is the spring's constant.

We can from this expression find the value of the displacement "x" just solving for it in the equation:

F = k* x\\40\,N=400 \frac{N}{m} *x\\x=\frac{40}{400} m\\x=0.1\,m

Such displacement is equivalent to 10 cm.

Two harmonic waves traveling in opposite directions interfere to produce a standing wave described by y = 3 sin (2x) cos 5t wher
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

The wavelength of the interfering waves is 3.14 meters.

Explanation:

Given that,

The equation of standing wave that is formed by interfering two harmonic waves (travelling opposite direction) is given by :

y=3\ sin(2x)\ cos(5t)........(1)

The general equation of standing wave is given by :

y=2A\ sin(kx)\ cos(\omega t)..............(2)

On comparing equation (1) and (2), we get :

k = 2

We know that,

\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}=k

\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}=2

\lambda=3.14\ m

So, the wavelength of the interfering wave is 3.14 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

On Mars gravity is one-third that on Earth. What would be the mass on Mars of a person who has a mass of 90 kilograms (kg) on Ea
snow_tiger [21]

Answer: The person will still have a mass of 90kg on Mars

Explanation: The Truth is, the mass of a body remains constant from place to place. It is the weight which is equal to {mass of body * acceleration due to gravity{g}} that varies from place to place since it is dependent on {g}.

In this case the person will have a Weight of 90*9.8 = 882N on Earth.

{ "g" on Earth is 9.8m/s²}

And a Weight of 90*3.3 = 297N on Mars.

{ From the question "g" on Mars is {9.8m/s²}/3 which is 3.3m/s²}

From this analysis you notice that the WEIGHT of the person Varies but the MASS remained Constant at 90kg.

If you walk 15m west and 7m east. what is your displacement?
choli [55]

If we consider our origin to be zero then if we walk 15m west then back 7m east our displacement would be the difference (since west and east are opposite directions to one another).

15m - 7m = 8m

And so, we are 8 meters away from our origin, thus our displacement is 8 meters.
