When a 4kg mass is hung vertically on a light spring, the spring stretches 2.5cm. A.) How far will the spring stretch if an addi

tional 1.5kg mass is hung on it? B.) If the 4 kg mass is removed, how far will the spring stretch if a 1.5 kg mass is hung on it? C.) How much work must be done on the spring to stretch the same spring 4 cm from its equilibrium position?

Answer:

Explanation:

The weight of the 4kg mass equals the force of the spring.

mg = kx

(4 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = k (0.025 m)

k = 1568 N/m

If an additional 1.5 kg is added, the spring stretches to:

(4 kg + 1.5 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = (1568 N/m) x

x = 0.034 m

x = 3.4 cm

If the 4 kg is removed, the spring stretches to:

(1.5 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = (1568 N/m) x

x = 0.0094 m

x = 0.94 cm

The work done to stretch a spring a distance x is:

E = 1/2 k x²

E = 1/2 (1568 N/m) (0.04 m)²

E = 1.3 J

Does displacement = Δx?
Volgvan
Typically no. Displacement can be in multiple directions as a vector. of something is traveling only along x, then it would be true though this is usually not the case.

sashaice [31]

Answer:

22.36 rad

Explanation:

Applying,

ω = θ/t.............. Equation 1

Where ω  = angular velocity, θ = angular displacement of the baseball, t = time

make θ the subject of the equation

θ = ωt............... Equation 2

From the question,

Given: ω = 350 rev/min = 350(0.10472) = 36.652 rad/s, t = 0.61 s

Substitute these values into equation 1

θ = 0.61(36.652)

θ = 22.36 rad

Hence the angular displacement of the baseball is  22.36 rad

Observe the two scenarios involving electrically charged objects. Predict what will happen when you bring the objects close toge
Margarita [4]

Answer:

When one object is rubbed against another, static electricity can be created. This is because the rubbing creates a negative charge that is carried by electrons. The electrons can build up to produce static electricity. For example, when you shuffle your feet across a carpet, you are creating many surface contacts between your feet and the carpet, allowing electrons to transfer to you, thereby building up a static charge on your skin. When you touch another person or an object, you can suddenly discharge the static as an electrical shock.

Explanation:

Similarly, when you rub a balloon on your head it causes opposite static charges to build up both on your hair and the balloon. Consequently, when you pull the balloon slowly away from your head, you can see these two opposite static charges attracting one another and making your hair stand up.
