A 5.50-kg object is hung from the bottom end of a vertical spring fastened to an overhead beam. The object is set into vertical

oscillations having a period of 3.50 s. Find the force constant of the spring.

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 grasshopper leaps into the air at a 62° angle above the horizontal, and follows a parabolic arc in free fall after it leaves t
harina [27]

Answer:

d. None of the above.

Explanation:

In a parabolic motion, you have that in the complete trajectory the component velocity is constant and the vertical component changes in time. Then, the total velocity vector is not zero.

In the complete trajectory the gravitational acceleration is always present. Then, the grasshopper's acceleration vector is not zero.

At the top of the arc the grasshopper is not at equilibrium because the gravitational force is constantly acting on the grasshopper.

Then, the correct answer is:

d. None of the above.

A sound wave travels through water. What best describes the direction of the water particles?
balu736 [363]

Answer:

In water, the particles are much closer together, and they can quickly transmit vibration energy from one particle to the next.

A water wave is an example of a transverse wave. As water particles move up and down, the water wave itself appears to move to the right or left.

Suppose that you are holding a cup of coffee in your hand identify all forces on the cup and reaction to each force
Stels [109]

Answer:

Newton's third law.

Explanation:

•your hand of holding UP/DOWN the cup has a reaction with force

•Coffee inside the cup is pushing outward to the edges of the cup

•The cup is pushing inward onto the coffee

"His third law states that for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction. In other words, if object A exerts a force on object B, then object B also exerts an equal and opposite force on object A."

Fynjy0 [20]

The patient eating a candy bar instead of fasting for the test should be told

that the test results will be wrong and he may receive a wrong diagnosis.

The medical practitioners told him to fast when coming for a reason and he

forgetting and eating something means the objective for the test may have

been defeated.

This is why it's best to explain to him about the consequences of his actions

which is likely getting a wrong result and diagnosis.
