Answer:

17.71N/m

Explanation:

The period of the spring is expressed according to the expression;

$T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } \\$

m is the mass of the object

k is the force constant

Given

m = 5.50kg

T = 3.50s

Substitute into the formula;

$T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } \\3.5 = 2 (3.14) \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\3.5 = 6.28 \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\\frac{3.5}{6.28} = \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\0.557 = \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\square \ both \ sides\\0.557^2 = (\sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} })^2 \\0.3106 = \frac{5,5}{k}\\k = \frac{5.5}{0.3106}\\k = 17.71N/m$

Hence the force constant of the spring is 17.71N/m

A hot-air balloon and its basket are accelerating upward at 0.265 m/s2, propelled by a net upward force of 688 N. A rope of negl

Sergeu [11.5K]

Question:<em> </em><em>Find, separately, them mass of the balloon and the basket (incidentally, most of the balloon's mass is air)</em>

Answer:

The mass of the balloon is 2295 kg, and the mass of the basket is 301 kg.

Explanation:

Let us call the mass of the balloon $m_1$ and the mass of the basket $m_2$ , then according to newton's second law:

$(1). \:F = (m_1+m_2)a$ ,

where $a =0.265m/s^2$ is the upward acceleration, and $F = 688N$ is the net propelling force (counts the gravitational force).

Also, the tension $T$ in the rope is 79.8 N more than the basket's weight; therefore,

$(2). \:T = m_2g+79.8$

and this tension must equal

$T -m_2g =m_2a$

$(3). \:T = m_2g +m_2a$

Combining equations (2) and (3) we get:

$m_2a = 79.8$

since $a =0.265m/s^2$ , we have

$\boxed{m_2 = 301.13kg}$

Putting this into equation (1) and substituting the numerical values of $F$ and $a$ , we get:

$688N = (m_1+301.13kg)(0.265m/s^2)$

$\boxed{m_1 = 2295 kg}$

Thus, the mass of the balloon and the basket is 2295 kg and 301 kg respectively.

Which force is reasonable for making fusion possible in the sun?

andreev551 [17]

The force is reasonable for making fusion possible in the Sun is heat energy.

<h3>What is nuclear fission and fusion?</h3>

When the slow moving neutrons are bombarded with the heavy radioactive nuclei, the product is the more number of neutrons are produced with the large amount of energy. This multiplying process is called nuclear fusion.

The amount of energy produced in such a reaction can be calculated using the equivalence of mass and energy relationship.

E = mc²

The same happens in nuclear fusion where large amount of energy is needed to make more heavy nuclei.

Thus, fusion requires heat energy to continue the reaction.

A crowbar 2727 in. long is pivoted 66 in. from the end. What force must be applied at the long end in order to lift a 600600 lb

NikAS [45]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to equilibrium, for this specific case, through the sum of torques.

$\sum \tau = F*d$

If the distance in which the 600lb are applied is 6in, we will have to add the unknown Force sum, at a distance of 27in - 6in will be equivalent to that required to move the object. So,

$F*(27-6)= 6*600$

$F = \frac{6*600}{21}$

$F= 171.42 lb$

So, Force that must be applied at the long end in order to lift a 600lb object to the short end is 171.42lb

g In a certain binary-star system, each star has the same mass which is 8.2 times of that of the Sun, and they revolve about the

Mademuasel [1]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Third Law of Kepler.

Kepler's third law tells us that the period is defined as

$T^2 = \frac{4\pi^2 d^3}{2GM}$

The given data are given with respect to known constants, for example the mass of the sun is

$m_s = 1.989*10^{30}$

The radius between the earth and the sun is given by

$r = 149.6*10^9m$

From the mentioned star it is known that this is 8.2 time mass of sun and it is 6.2 times the distance between earth and the sun

Therefore:

$m = 8.2*1.989*10^{30}$

$d = 6.2*149.6*10^6$

Substituting in Kepler's third law:

$T^2 = \frac{4\pi^2 d^3}{2}$

$T^2 = \frac{4\pi^2(6.2*149.6*10^9)^3}{2(6.674*10^{-11} )(8.2*1.989*10^30 )}$

$T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi^2(6.2*149.6*10^9)^3}{2(6.674*10^{-11} )(8.2*1.989*10^30)}}$

$T = 120290789.7s$

$T = 120290789.7s(\frac{1year}{31536000s})$

$T \approx 3.8143 years$

Therefore the period of this star is 3.8years
