Answer:

The extension of the spring is 0.392 m.

Explanation:

Given;

spring constant, k = 50 N/m

mass attached to the spring, m = 2.0 kg

let the extension of the spring = x

The extension of the spring is calculated by applying Hook's law;

F = kx

mg = kx

x = \frac{mg}{k} \\\\x = \frac{2 \times 9.8}{50} \\\\x = 0.392 \ m

Therefore, the extension of the spring is 0.392 m.

A block of weight mg sits on an inclined plane as shown in (Figure 1) . A force of magnitude F1 is applied to pull the block up
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

W = (F1 - mg sin θ) L,   W = -μ  mg cos θ L

Explanation:

Let's use Newton's second law to find the friction force. In these problems the x axis is taken parallel to the plane and the y axis perpendicular to the plane

Y Axis  

       N - W_{y} =

       N = W_{y}

X axis

       F1 - fr - Wₓ = 0

       fr = F1 - Wₓ

Let's use trigonometry to find the components of the weight

     sin θ = Wₓ / W

     cos θ = W_{y} / W

      Wₓ = W sin θ

      W_{y} = W cos θ

We substitute

      fr = F1 - W sin θ

Work is defined by

        W = F .dx

        W = F dx cos θ

The friction force is parallel to the plane in the negative direction and the displacement is positive along the plane, so the Angle is 180º and the cos θ= -1

         

        W = -fr x

        W = (F1 - mg sin θ) L

Another way to calculate is

         fr = μ N

         fr = μ W cos θ

the work is

         W = -μ  mg cos θ L

Why can't you feel rhe force of attraction between you and mars
NISA [10]
Because Mars is too far away for its gravitational pull to affect us, in addition Earths gravitational pull is greater than Mars anyways.

A tank with a volume of 0.150 m3 contains 27.0oC helium gas at a pressure of 100 atm. How many balloons can be blown up if each
jekas [21]

Answer:

884 balloons

Explanation:

Assume ideal gas, since temperature is constant, then the product of pressure and volume is constant.

So if pressures reduces from 100 to 1.2, the new volume would be

V_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2} = \frac{100*0.15}{1.2} = 12.5 m^2

The spherical volume of each of the balloon of 30cm diameter (15 cm or 0.15 m in radius) is

V_b = \frac{4}{3}\pir^3 = \frac{4}{3}\pi 0.15^3 = 0.014 m^3

The number of balloons that 12.5 m3 can fill in is

V_2/V_b = 12.5 / 0.014 = 884
