A mass of 0.8 kg is fixed at a vertical spring with an unknown spring constant. When spring is released from rest, it extends to

15cm before it stops. As the system oscillates with Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) the weight is pulled down 20cm further downward and being released.
1. What is the spring constant?
2. What is the total energy of the system?
3. What is the angular frequency of spring?
4. What is the velocity of the system at x=10cm below equilibrium position? ​

Answer:

1) k = 52 N/m

2) E = 1.0 J

3) ω = 8.1 rad/s

4) v = 1.4 m/s

Though asked for a velocity, we can only supply magnitude (speed) because we don't have enough information to determine direction.

If it happens to be the first time it is at y = - 10 cm after release, the velocity is upward.

Explanation:

Assuming the initial setup is after all transients are eliminated.

kx = mg

k = mg/x = 0.8(9.8) / 0.15

k = 52.26666.... ≈ 52 N/m

E = ½kA² = ½(52)(0.20²) = 1.045333... ≈ 1.0 J

ω = √(k/m) = √(52 / 0.8) = 8.0829... ≈ 8.1 rad/s

½mv² = ½kA² - ½kx²

v = √(k(A² - x²)/m) = √(52(0.20² - 0.10²)/0.8) = 1.39999... ≈ 1.4 m/s

erik [133]

Answer:

longer for less massive stars.

Explanation:

A star is a giant astronomical or celestial object that is comprised of a luminous sphere of plasma, binded together by its own gravitational force.

It is typically made up of two (2) main hot gas, Hydrogen (H) and Helium (He).

Some of the examples of stars are Canopus, Sun (closest to the Earth), Betelgeus, Antares, Vega etc.

Generally, the time taken for the collapse of an interstellar cloud fragment to the period (time) when a main-sequence star is given birth to, is usually longer for less massive stars.

This ultimately implies that, stars that are not so massive or big in size are transformed from interstellar cloud fragment to a main-sequence star is lesser.

How do water and gravity work together to erode soil, sediment, and rock?
TiliK225 [7]

Gravity can cause water to move down and carry sediment and rocks along the bottom. if the water slows down, it drops the rocks and if it floods a field then the grass will also filter smaller particles out leaving fine sediment behind. In addition to it the fast flow of water can cause erosion, over time it can cause valleys as well.

Calculate the force of gravity on the same 1 kg mass if it were 6.4x10^6 m above earth's surface
vova2212 [387]
The force of gravity on a certain object is calculated through the equation,
 
   F = Gm1m2 / r²

where F is the force, G is a constant, m1 and m2 are masses of the object and Earth, respectively and r is the distance. Substituting the known values for this item,

   F = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²)(1 kg)(5.98 x 10²⁴ kg)/ (6.4 x 10⁶ m)²

         F = 9.37 N

Answer: 9.37 N

What is hydrometer? Describe its use and any one type of hydrometer.​
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

An instrument for measuring the density of liquids.

Explanation:

A hydrometer is an instrument used to determine specific gravity. It operates based on the Archimedes principle that a solid body displaces its own weight within a liquid in which it floats. Hydrometers can be divided into two general classes: liquids heavier than water and liquids lighter than water.

Thermohydrometers is one type of hydrometer.

4. The electric force between electric charges is much larger than the
Illusion [34]

The electric force is small in comparison because charges are VERY small but the

gravitational force has to do with the mass of the Earth and Moon.
