Answer:

When connected in parallel, the extension of both springs is the same, and the total elastic force will be equal to the sum of the forces in each spring: x=x1=x2,F=F1+F2. F=F1+F2,⇒kx=k1x1+k2x2=(k1+k2)x,⇒k=k1+k2.

A ball is launched vertically with an initial speed of y˙0= 50 m/s, and its acceleration is governed by y¨=-g-cDy˙2, where the a

stira [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

acceleration is given by

$a=-g-c_Dv^2$

where $\ddot{y}=a$

$\dot{y}=v$

Also acceleration is given by

$a=v\frac{\mathrm{d} v}{\mathrm{d} s}$

$ds=\frac{v}{a}dv$

$\int ds=\int \frac{v}{-g-0.001v^2}dv$

$\Rightarrow Let -g-0.001v^2=t$

$-0.001\times 2vdv=dt$

$vdv=-\frac{dt}{0.002}$

$at\ v_0=50\ m/s,\ t=-g-0.001(50)^2$

$t=-g-2.5$

at $v=0,\ t=-g$

$\int_{0}^{s}ds=\int_{-g}^{-g-2.5}\frac{-dt}{0.002t}$

$\int_{0}^{s}ds=\int^{-g}_{-g-2.5}\frac{dt}{0.002t}$

$s=\frac{1}{0.002}lnt|_{-g}^{-g-2.5}$

$s=\frac{1}{0.002}\ln (\frac{g+2.5}{g})$

$s=113.608\ m$

when air drag is neglected maximum height reached is

$h=\frac{v_0^2}{2g}$

$h=\frac{50^2}{2\times 9.8}$

$h=127.55\ m$

If the distance between two objects decreased, what would happen to the force of gravity between them?

evablogger [386]

Answer: A- It would increase

Explanation:

According to the law of universal gravitation:

$F=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}$

Where:

$F$ is the module of the attraction force exerted between both objects

$G$ is the universal gravitation constant.

$m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ are the masses of both objects

$r$ is the distance between both objects

As we can see, the gravity force is directly proportional to the mass of the bodies or objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them.

In other words:

<h2>If we decrease the distance between both objects, the gravitational force between them will increase. </h2>

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

47 kJoules (kJ)

Explanation:

Potential enegy on Earth is given by the relationship:

P.E. = mgh, where m is mass, g is the acceleration due to Earth's gravity, and h is height. Since we are given metric values, we will look for an answer that is consistent with Joules, the metric measure of energy. 1 Joule is defined as 1 kg*m^2/s^2, so we wnat units of kg, m, and sec.

We are given:

m = 95kg

h = 50 meters

Earth's gravity, g is 9.8 m/s^2

Enter the data:

P.E. = mgh

P.E. = (95kg)(9.8m/s^2)(50m)

P.E. = 46550 kg*m^2/s^2 or 46550 Joules(J)

Since we only have 2 sig figs, and since 1kJ =- 1000J

We can state the potential energy is 47kJ.

Spiderman has 47kJ of potential energy for the start of any dive back to Earth. [He needed that same amount of energy to reach that height, but we don't know from where it came. A jump, helicopter, beamed up by Scotty, or tossed up by Doctor Octopus.]
