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.

An open cart is rolling to the left on a horizontal surface. A package slides down a chute and lands in the cart. Which quantity
Marat540 [252]

Answer: the horizontal component of total momentum

Explanation:

Since the open cart is rolling to the left on the horizontal surface, the quantity that has the same value just before and just after the package lands in the cart is the horizontal component of total momentum.

Momentum, is the product of the mass of a particle and the velocity of the particle. The change of momentum depends on the force which acts on it. The addition of the the individual momenta is the total momentum.
