Answer:

Spring's displacement, x = -0.04 meters.

Explanation:

Let the spring's displacement be x.

Given the following data;

Mass of each shrew, m = 2.0 g to kilograms = 2/1000 = 0.002 kg

Number of shrews, n = 49

Spring constant, k = 24 N/m

We know that acceleration due to gravity, g is equal to 9.8 m/s².

To find the spring's displacement;

At equilibrium position:

Fnet = Felastic + Fg = 0

But, Felastic = -kx

Total mass, Mt = nm

Fg = -Mt = -nmg

-kx -nmg = 0

Rearranging, we have;

kx = -nmg

Making x the subject of formula, we have;

x = \frac {-nmg}{k}

Substituting into the formula, we have;

x = \frac {-49*0.002*9.8}{24}

x = \frac {-0.9604}{24}

x = -0.04 m

Therefore, the spring's displacement is -0.04 meters.

What mathematical formula correctly expresses the relationship between force, mass and acceleration? A. m = F + a B. F = m / a C
IRINA_888 [86]

D. F=ma

F is for force, and that equals two things, M for mass and A for acceleration. When mass is accelerated, it gives you force. Force equals multiplying mass and its acceleration.

Vector A has a magnitude of 63 units and points west, while vector B has the same magnitude and points due south. Find the magni
ozzi

Given :

Vector A has a magnitude of 63 units and points west, while vector B has the same magnitude and points due south.

To Find :

The magnitude and direction of

a) A + B .

b) A - B.

Solution :

Let , direction in north is given by +j and east is given by +i .

So , A=-63i and B=63j

Now , A + B is given by :

A+B=-63i+63j

| A+B | = 63\sqrt{2}

Direction of A+B is 45° north of west .

Also , for A-B :

A-B=-63i-63j

|A-B|=63\sqrt{2}

Direction of A-B is 45° south of west .

( When two vector of same magnitude which are perpendicular to each other are added or subtracted the resultant is always 45° from each of them)

Hence , this is the required solution .
