Answer:

Mass = 18.0 kg

Explanation:

From Hooke's law,

F = ke

where: F is the force, k is the spring constant and e is the extension.

But, F = mg

So that,

mg = ke

On the Earth, let the gravitational force be 10 m/s^{2}.

3.0 x 10 = k x 5.0

30 = 5k

⇒ k = \frac{30}{5} ................ 1

On the Moon, the gravitational force is \frac{1}{6} of that on the Earth.

m x \frac{10}{6} = k x 5.0

\frac{10m}{6} = 5k

⇒ k = \frac{10m}{30} ............. 2

Equating 1 and 2, we have;

\frac{30}{5}  = \frac{10m}{30}

m = \frac{900}{50}

    = 18.0

m = 18.0 kg

The mass required to produce the same extension on the Moon is 18 kg.

Answer:

18 kg

Explanation:

  • weight (N) = mass (kg) × gravitational acceleration (m/s²)
  • force (N) = k (spring constant) × extension (m)

On Earth, acceleration of gravity is 10 m/s²

  • weight = 3.0 (kg) × 10 (m/s²)
  • weight = 30 (N)

Since weight is a force, the force is 30 N. The value of spring constant is unknown

  • 30 (N) = k × 5 (m)
  • k = 6 (m/N)

Spring constant is 6. Now let's find the mass on the Moon

  • mass (kg) × gravitational acceleration (m/s²) = k (spring constant) × extension (m)

Gravitational acceleration of the moon is 1/6 of that on Earth. Earth's g = 10, so Moon's g = 10/6

  • m × 10/6 = 6 × 5
  • m = 30/(10/6)
  • m = 18

The mass is 18 kg

Explain why air masses do not mix
kati45 [8]

 

Different densities have to have a reason - different pressure and/or humidity etc. If there is a different pressure, there is a mechanical force that preserves the pressure difference: think about the cyclones that have a lower pressure in the center. The cyclones rotate in the right direction and the cyclone may be preserved by the Coriolis force.

If the two air masses differ by humidity, the mixing will almost always lead to precipitation - which includes a phase transition for water etc. It's because the vapor from the more humid air mass gets condensed under the conditions of the other. You get some rain. In general, intense precipitation, thunderstorms, and other visible isolated weather events are linked to weather fronts.

At any rate, a mixing of two air masses is a nontrivial, violent process in general. That's why the boundary is called a "front". In the military jargon, a front is the contested frontier of a conflict. So your idea that the air masses could mix quickly and peacefully - whatever you exactly mean quantitatively - either neglects the inertia of the air, a relatively low diffusion coefficient, a low thermal conductivity, and/or high latent heat of water vapor. A front is something that didn't disappear within minutes so pretty much tautologically, there must be forces that make such a quick disappearance impossible.

According to the article "Nuclear shapes" by Renee Lucas the nucleus's shape is mainly modified by vibrational and rotational features happening within the cell. According to the article if i read correctly "near closed shells spherical shapes prevail, while between closed shells the large number of valence nucleons in orbit with large particle angular momentum leads to nuclei with large deformations leading them to not only maintain its shape but also alloying it to work.

Step 2: Apply NEwton's second law Apply ∑Fy = may , what should ay be equal to, since the block doesn't move in the y direction
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

∑Fy = 0, because there is no movement, N = m*g*cos (omega)

Explanation:

We can solve this problem with the help of a free body diagram where we show the respective forces in each one of the axes, y & x. The free-body diagram and the equations are in the image attached.

If the product of mass by acceleration is zero, we must clear the normal force of the equation obtained. The acceleration is equal to zero because there is no movement on the Y-axis.
