A 0.20 mass on a horizontal spring is pulled back a certain distance and released. The maximum speed of the mass is measured to

be 0.20 . If, instead, a 0.40 mass were used in this same experiment, choose the correct value for the maximum speed.
a. 0.40 m/s.
b. 0.20 m/s.
c. 0.28 m/s.
d. 0.14 m/s.
e. 0.10 m/s.

Answer:

d

Explanation:

Ya gon find the Kenitic Energy first

K=½mv²===> K=½×0.2×(0.2)²===> 0.1(0.04)===> 0.004

and now the replacement:

0.004=½×0.4V²====> v²=0.02===> V=0.14m/s

Just how strong is the electric force? suppose you had two small boxes, each containing 1.0 g of protons. (a) if one were placed

vlabodo [156]

Let's use Newton's Law of Second Motion: F=ma. When no other direct force is acting on the system, the acceleration is due to the gravity. The modified equation becomes: F = mg. So, yes, you need to take into account the gravitational accelerations in the moon and on Earth.

g,moon = 1.622 m/s²
g,Earth = 9.81 m/s²

The net force is the tension of the string:

F,Earth - F,moon = Tension
Tension = (1/1000 kg)(9.81 m/s²) - (1/1000 kg)(1.622 m/s²)
Tension = 8.188×10⁻³ N

To convert, 1 pound force is equal to 4.45 Newtons:

Tension = 8.188×10⁻³ N * 1 lbf/4.45 N
Tension = 1.84×10⁻³ lbf

What does the force of friction between two objects in context depend on?

xenn [34]

The amount of friction depends on the force pushing the surfaces together. If this force increases, the hills and valleys of the surfaces can come into closer contact. The close contact increases the friction between the surfaces.

An astronaut weighs 8.00 × 102 newtons on the sur- face of Earth. What is the weight of the astronaut 6.37 × 106 meters above th

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

$mg=200.4 N$ .

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using Newton's law of universal gravitation: $F=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^{2}}$ ,

where F is the gravitational force between two masses $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ , $r$ is the distance between the masses (their center of mass), and $G=6.674*10^{-11}(m^{3}kg^{-1}s^{-2})$ is the gravitational constant.

We know the weight of the astronout on the surface, with this we can find his mass. Letting $w_{s}$ be the weight on the surface:

$w_{s}=mg$ ,

$mg=8*10^{2}$ ,

$m=(8*10^{2})/g$ ,

since we now that $g=9.8m/s^{2}$ we get that the mass is

$m=81.6kg$ .

Now we can use Newton's law of universal gravitation

$F=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}}$ ,

where $m$ is the mass of the astronaut and $M$ is the mass of the earth. From Newton's second law we know that

$F=ma$ ,

in this case the acceleration is the gravity so

$F=mg$ , (<u>becarefull, gravity at this point is no longer</u> $9.8m/s^{2}$ <u>because we are not in the surface anymore</u>)

and this get us to

$mg=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}}$ , where $mg$ is his new weight.

We need to remember that the mass of the earth is $M=5.972*10^{24}kg$ and its radius is $6.37*10^{6}m$ .

The total distance between the astronaut and the earth is

$r=(6.37*10^{6}+6.37*10^{6})=2(6.37*10^{6})=12.74*10^{6}$ meters.

Now we can compute his weigh:

$mg=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}}$ ,

$mg=(6.674*10^{-11})\frac{(5.972*10^{24})(81.6)}{(12.74*10^{6})^{2}}$ ,

$mg=200.4 N$ .
