Answer:

2.5 m/s²

Explanation:

You can solve the following equation: F=ma for acceleration.

You'll be left with this:

a=F/m

And then you substitute the force and the doubled mass

a=500N/200kg

a=2.5 m/s²

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Less than 1 m

Explanation:

When objects are getting closer to each other there is a slight change in the wavelength that is being transmitted by either objects. This is known as the blue shift of waves. Here, the wavelength reduces.

In the opposite case the when objects are getting farther from each other there is a slight change in the wavelength that is being transmitted by either objects. This is known as the red shift. Here, the wavelength increases.

In this case the spaceship is getting close to Earth hence the wavelength will be lower than 1 m.

The measure of a spring’s resistance to being compressed or stretched is the

larisa86 [58]

Answer;

Spring constant 

Explanation;

The measure of a spring’s resistance to being compressed or stretched is the spring constant.

The symbol of spring constant is K, since it is a constant. From the Hooke's law,for a helical spring or any elastic material, the extension force is directly proportional to the extension provided the elastic limit is not exceeded.

Therefore; the spring constant = Force/extension. That is; K = F/e; where k is the spring constant, F is the extension force and e is the extension.

Spring constant depicts the resistance of the spring to compressional and stretching forces.

A 0.6 kg block attached to a spring of force constant 13.6 N/m oscillates with an amplitude of 9 cm. Find the maximum speed of t

mash [69]

Answer:

1) 0.43 meters per second

2) 0.21 meters per second

3) 1.02 $\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

4) 0.66 seconds

Explanation:

part 1

By conservation of energy, the maximum kinetic energy (K) of the block is at equilibrium point where the potential energy is zero. So, at the equilibrium kinetic energy is equal to maximum potential energy (U):

$K=U$

$\frac{mv^2}{2}=\frac{kx_{max}^2}{2}$

With m the mass, v the speed, k the spring constant and xmax the maximum position respect equilibrium position. Solving for v

$v=\sqrt{\frac{kx_{max}^2}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{(13.6)(0.09m)^2}{0.6}}=0.43\frac{m}{s}$

part 2

Again by conservation of energy we have kinetic energy equal potential energy:

$\frac{mv^2}{2}=\frac{kx_{max}^2}{2}=$

$v=\sqrt{\frac{kx_{max}^2}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{(13.6)(0.045m)^2}{0.6}}=0.21\frac{m}{s}$

part 3

Acceleration can be find using Newton's second law:

$F=ma$

with F the force, m the mass and a the acceleration, but elastic force is -kx, so:

$-kx=ma$

$a= -\frac{kx}{m}=-\frac{(13.6)(0.045)}{0.6}=-1.02\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

part 4

The period of an oscillator is the time it takes going from one extreme to the other one, that is going form 4.5 cm to -4.5 cm respect the equilibrium position. That period is:

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}=T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{0.6}{13.6}}=1.32s$

So between 0 and 4.5 cm we have half a period:

$t=\frac{T}{2}=0.66s$

The magnitude of the magnetic field B a distance r from a long straight wire is B = μ 0 I 2 π r where μ 0 is the permeability co

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The magnetic field is lowest for largest distance and highest when distance is least.

Explanation:

The magnitude of magnetic field strength at a distance 'r' from a long straight wire carrying current 'I' is given as:

$B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}\\Where,\mu_0\to permeability\ constant\ of\ free\ space$

Now, as per question, the distance 'r' is varied while keeping the current constant in the wire.

As seen from the above formula, the magnitude of magnetic field strength for a constant current varies inversely with the distance 'r'. This means that, as the value of 'r' increases, the magnitude of magnetic field strength decreases and vice-versa.

Therefore, the magnitude of magnetic field strength is maximum when the distance 'r' is least and the magnetic field is minimum for the largest distance.

Example:

If $B_1, B_2,\ and\ B_3$ are the magnitudes of magnetic field strengths for distances $r_1,r_2, \ and\ r_3$ respectively such that $r_1$ . Now, as per the explanation above, the order of magnitudes of magnetic field strength is:

$B_1>B_2>B_3$
