A 0.83-kg block is hung from and stretches a spring that is attached to the ceiling. A second block is attached to the first one

, and the amount that the spring stretches from its unstretched length triples. What is the mass of the second block?

Answer:

1.66 kg

Explanation:

Given that a 0.83-kg block is hung from and stretches a spring that is attached to the ceiling.

From Hook's law

F = Ke

But F = mg

Substitute mg for force in the Hook's law

Mg = ke

0.83 × 9.8 = ke

Make K the subject of formula

8.134 = Ke

K = 8.134 /e

Given that a second block is attached to the first one, and the amount that the spring stretches from its unstretched length triples.

That is

(0.83 + M) × 9.8 = K (3e)

Substitutes K into the above equation

(0.83 + M) × 9.8 = 8.134 / e (3e)

The e will cancel out

(0.83 + M) × 9.8 = 24.402

0.83 + M = 24.402/9.8

0.83 + M = 2.49

M = 2.49 - 0.83

M = 1.66 kg

Therefore, the mass of the second block is 1.66kg

Orlov [11]

The number converted is $0.0467 \frac{(kg)(s)}{m^3}$

Explanation:

In order to convert from the original units to the final units, we have to keep in mind the following conversion factors:

$1 kg = 1000 g = 10^6 mg$

$1 min = 60 s$

$1 m^3 = 1000 L$

The original unit that we have is

$\frac{mg\cdot min}{L}$

Therefore, it can be rewritten as:

$=\frac{mg \frac{1}{10^6 mg/kg}\cdot min\cdot 60 s/min}{L\frac{1}{1000L/m^3}}=0.06 \frac{(kg)(s)}{m^3}$

Therefore, since the initial number was 0.779, the final value is

$0.779\cdot 0.06 \frac{(kg)(s)}{m^3}=0.0467 \frac{(kg)(s)}{m^3}$

A ball is thro.d hit the grouvelocity)?

kati45 [8]

Answer:

The velocity of the ball is 3.52 m/s.

Explanation:

A projectile is any object that moves under the influence of gravity and momentum only. Examples are; a thrown ball, a fired bullet, a kicked ball, thrown javelin, etc.

Given that the ball was thrown vertically upward on the top of a skyscraper of height 61.9 m. So that the velocity can be determined by;

u = $\sqrt{\frac{2H}{g} }$

Where: u is the velocity of the object, H is the height and g is the gravitational force on the object. Given that: H = 61.9 m and g = 10 m/ $s^{2}$ , then;

u = $\sqrt{\frac{2*61.9}{10} }$

= $\sqrt{\frac{123.8}{10} }$

u = 3.5185

The velocity of the ball is 3.52 m/s.

A drowsy cat spots a flower pot that sails first up and then down past an open window. The pot was in view for a total of 0.56 s

liberstina [14]

Answer:

$h = 0.028 m$

Explanation:

As we know that

$d = \frac{v_2 + v_1}{2} t$

here we have

$1.95 = \frac{v_2 + v_1}{2}(0.56)$

$v_2 + v_1 = 6.96$

also we know

$v_2 - v_1 = at$

$v_2 - v_1 = (9.81)(0.56)$

$v_2 - v_1 = 5.49$

so we have

$v_2 = 6.23 m/s$

$v_1 = 0.74 m/s$

so the height above window is given as

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$0.74^2 - 0 = 2(9.81)h$

$h = 0.028 m$
