A box of mass 1 kg is hung from a spring scale. The reading on the spring scale is approximately 10N. What would be the reading

on the spring scale if a box of mass 5 kg is hung from it? (Assume acceleration due to gravity to be 10 m/s2.)
A) 5 N
B) 10 N
C) 50 N
D) 500 N

The answer will be 50N.
This is because the spring reads weight and weight is mass times acceleration due to gravity.5kg*10m/s2=50N

Explanation:

It is given that,

When mass is, m₁ = 1 kg

The reading on the spring scale, F = 10 N

If the mass is, m₂ = 5 kg

We need to find the reading on the spring scale. The force of gravity is acting on the box which is given by :  

F=mg

F=5\ kg\times 10\ m/s^2

F = 50 N

So, the reading on the spring scale is 50 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

The value of maximum velocity will be 0.3464 m/s². Energy or work is equal to the product of force and displacement.

<h3>What is velocity?</h3>

The change of distance with respect to time is defined as speed. Speed is a scalar quantity. It is a time-based component. Its unit is m/sec.

The given data in the problem is

Mass of the body is,(m= 200g)

Amplitude is,(A  =20 mm)

Maximum force is,F= 0.6 N

To find;

Maximum velocity

Energy or work is equal to the product of force and displacement.

\rm KE = \frac{1}{2} mV_{max}^2 \\\\ \rm F_{max} \times A = \frac{1}{2} mV_{max}^2 \\\\ F_{max}= \frac{1}{2}\frac{ mV_{max}^2}{A} \\\\ 0.6= \frac{1}{2}\times \frac{ 0.2 \times V_{max}^2}{20 \times 10^{-3}} \\\\ V_{max}=0.3464 \ m/sec^2

Hence,the value of maximum velocity will be 0.3464 m/s².

Suppose that a charged particle of diameter 1.00 micrometer moves with constant speed in an electric field of magnitude 1.00×105
Dovator [93]
It's a bit of a trick question, had the same one on my homework. You're given an electric field strength (1*10^5 N/C for mine), a drag force (7.25*10^-11 N) and the critical info is that it's moving with constant velocity(the particle is in equilibrium/not accelerating). 
<span>All you need is F=(K*Q1*Q2)/r^2 </span>
<span>Just set F=the drag force and the electric field strength is (K*Q2)/r^2, plugging those values in gives you </span>
<span>(7.25*10^-11 N) = (1*10^5 N/C)*Q1 ---> Q1 = 7.25*10^-16 C </span>
