A spring has a length of 0.270 m when a 0.300 kg mass hangs from it, and a length of 0.750 m when a 2.80 kg mass hangs from it.

(a) What is the force constant (in N/m) of the spring?

Answer:

k  = 51.09 N/m

Explanation:

Given,

mass, m₁ = 0.3 Kg

length of spring, x₁ = 0.27 m

Mass, m₂ = 2.80 Kg

Length of spring, x₂ = 0.750

We know that

Restoring force, F = k x

Gravitation force, F = m g

Now,

m₁ g = k x₁ ......(1)

And

m₂ g = k x₂   .......(2)

where k is spring constant

Subtracting equation (2)- (1)

(m₂-m₁)g = k(x₂-x₁)

(2.8-0.3) x 9.81 = k (0.75 - 0.27)

24.525 = k x 0.48

k  = 51.09 N/m

Hence, spring constant is 51.09 N/m.

Explanation:

<u>solution:</u>

the speed of a sound in water is<u>:</u>

v(T)=1480+4(T-4°C)

<u>at 4°C the travel time is:</u>

t(4◦C) = ( 7600 × 103 m ) / (1480 m/s) = 5202.7 s

<u>5°C, the travel time is:</u>

t(5◦C) = ( 7600 × 103 m ) / (1484 m/s) = 5188.7 s

<u>one degree C corresponds to a ∆t of 14 s so temperature difference is:</u>

ΔT=1 s/14 s=0.07◦C

Using software, a simulation of a javelin being thrown both on Earth and on the moon is created. In both cases, the velocity and
mario62 [17]

Horizontal distance covered by a projectile is X = Vix *T

where Vix is the initial horizontal component of velocity and T is time taken by the projectile

Vix = ViCos theta

In question they said that initial velocity and angle is same on earth and moon

so Vix would remains same

now let's see about time taken T

time taken to reach the highest point

Vfy = Viy +gt

at highest point vertical velocity become zero so Vfy =0

0 = Vi Sin theta + gt

t = Vi Sintheta /g

Total time taken to land will be twice of that

On earth

Te= 2t

Te = 2Sinθ/g

on moon g is one-sixth of g(earth)

Tm = 2Sinθ/(g/6)

Tm = 6(2Sinθ/g)

Tm = 6Te

so total time taken by the projectile on moon will be six times the time taken on earth

From first equation X = Vix*T

we can see that X will also be 6 times on moon than earth

so projectile will cover 6 times distance on moon than on earth

Does the earths magnetic field change with time?
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

As per the fossil fuel records, magnetic field reversal does not impact living beings. It will take almost a century for the poles to complete the shift. Meanwhile, the earth is left with almost zero magnetic field.

An object has an acceleration of 6.0 m/s/s. If the net force was doubled and the mass was one-third the original value, then the
alexandr402 [8]

Hahahahaha. Okay.

So basically , force is equal to mass into acceleration.

F=ma

so when F=ma , we get acceleration=6m/s/s

Force is doubled.

Mass is 1/3 times original.

2F=1/3ma

Now , we rearrange , and we get 6F=ma

So , now for 6 times the original force , we get 6 times the initial acceleration.

So new acceleration = 6*6= 36m/s/s
