It says that the force of a spring is always opposite to the direction in which you stretch it or compress it. (the direction of 'x')

In other words, a spring that's disturbed always tries to put itself back to it's normal length, where x would be zero.

Se dispara una bala con una velocidad de v = 300[m/s] contra un cascarón esférico de papel que gira con MCU respecto a un eje ve
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

 w = 4.712 10⁻³ rad / s

Explanation:

For this exercise, the time it takes for the bullet to travel the distance of 2R must be equal to the time that the hole must travel half a circle.

Let's start by calculating the time it takes for the bullet, which is going at constant speed.

         v = x / t

         t = x / v

         t = 2R / v

         t = 2 0.10 / 300

         t = 6.666 10⁻⁴ s

As they ask that a single hole is formed in this time, it must be rotated half a circle, that is, θ =π rad, for which we use the angular scientific relations, where the shell has constant angular velocity

          w = θ / t

          w = π / 6,666 10⁻⁴

          w = 4.712 10⁻³ rad / s

Given a force of 100 N and an acceleration of 10 m/s^2, what is the mass?
frutty [35]

Given:

Force(F): 100 N

Acceleration: 10 m/s^2

Now we know that

F= mx a

Where F is the force acting on the object which is measured in Newton

m is the mass of the object measured in Kg

a is the acceleration measured in m/s^2

Substituting the given values in the above formula we get

100= 10m

m= 10 Kg
