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

An observer sitting on shore sees a canoe traveling 5.0 m/s east, and a sailboat traveling 15.0 m/s west. What is the velocity o
Dovator [93]

Answer:

Vs/c = 20 [m/s]

Explanation:

This is a problem of relative velocities, as velocity is a vector we can use addition or subtraction of vectors for the solution.

We are asked for the velocity of the sailboat with respect to an observer located in the canoe.

V_{s/c}=V_{sailboat}-V_{canoe}\\V_{s/c}=15-(-5)\\V_{s/c}=20[m/s]

Why is the speed of the canoe negative?, it is negative because the canoe moves in the opposite direction to the sailboat.

What’s the origin of a meteor shower?
Bogdan [553]

Answer: I hope this helps I read this in a book once

Explanation:

Shower meteors come from the dust released by comets as they travel through our solar system. The dust spreads out along the comet's orbit and forms an elliptical trail of debris that passes around the sun and crosses the orbits of the planets.

A boy throws a ball into the air at 10.2 m/s. Assuming that only gravity acts on the ball, how high does it rise, in m?
ozzi
Answer: 5.31 meters

Explanation: Use conservation of energy. Initial energy equals final energy. Initially, there is only kinetic energy (because height = 0 initially). At the end, kinetic energy equals 0 because at max height, there is max potential energy and the ball stops moving for a split second.

mgh = .5mv^2
Masses cancel out
gh = .5v^2
(9.8)(h) = .5(10.2^2)
Solve for h. h = 5.31 meters

__________ is the measure of the amount of disordered in a system
kolezko [41]

Entropy is the measure of the amount of disordered in a system.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In 1850, Entropy introduction by the German physicist Rudolf Clausius refers a measurement of the system's thermal energy in unit temperature. It is not for useful work because the work originates from ordered molecular motions. And, this also measures the molecular disturbance or randomness of the system.

The concept behind this provides deep view into spontaneous changes in many everyday phenomena’s. The idea of entropy is a mathematical way of coding an intuitive idea whose processes are impossible, and not violate the basic principle of energy conservation.
