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

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

<em>The mass of the object is 745000 units of the sun</em>

Explanation:

We know that the centripetal force with which the stars orbit the object is represented as

F_{c} = \frac{mv^{2} }{r}

and this centripetal force is also proportional to

F_{c} = \frac{kMm}{r^{2} }

where

m is the mass of the stars

M is the mass of the object

v is the velocity of the stars = 10^6 m/s

r is the distance between the stars and the object = 10^14 m

k is the gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10^-11 m^3 kg^-1 s^-2

We can equate the two centripetal force equations to give

\frac{mv^{2} }{r} = \frac{kMm}{r^{2} }

which reduces to

v^{2} = \frac{kM}{r}

and then finally

M = \frac{rv^{2} }{k}

substituting values, we have

M = \frac{10^{14}*(10^{6})^{2}  }{6.67*10^{-11} } = 1.49 x 10^36 kg

If the mass of the sun is 2 x 10^30 kg

then, the mass of the the object in units of the mass of the sun is

==> (1.49 x 10^36)/(2 x 10^30) = <em>745000 units of sun</em>

You are loading a refrigerator weighing 2267 N onto a truck, using a wheeled cart. The refrigerator is raised 1.09 m to the truc
meriva

Answer:

a).

Wmin= 2471.03 J

W=1603.01 J

Explanation:

Weight, w= 2267 N

w= m*g\\W=m*g*h \\W=w*h

Minimum work 'h' is the distance the refrigerator is raised h=1.09m

W_{min}=2267 N* 1.09m\\W_{min}=2471.03 J

The motion is no frictional force so, the magnitude of the force with a angle of 45.0° is find using:

W=m*g*h'\\h'= sin(45)\\W=2267N*sin(45)\\W=1603.01 J
