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.

A 56 kg astronaut stands on a bathroom scale inside a rotating circular space station. The radius of the space station is 250 m.
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The speed of space station floor is 49.49 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of astronaut = 56 kg

Radius = 250 m

We need to calculate the speed of space station floor

Using centripetal force and newton's second law

F=mg

\dfrac{mv^2}{r}=mg

\dfrac{v^2}{r}=g

v=\sqrt{rg}

Where, v = speed of space station floor

r = radius

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value into the formula

v=\sqrt{250\times9.8}

v=49.49\ m/s

Hence, The speed of space station floor is 49.49 m/s.

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

See below ~

Explanation:

An object will sink in water when its density is greater than that of water, which is 1 g/cm³.

Volume of the box is <u>1331 cm³</u>. (11³)

Maximum mass of sand will be 1331 g. [because 1331/1331 = 1 g/cm³]

  • Volume of sand = Mass of sand / Density of sand
  • Volume (sand) = 1331/3.5
  • Volume (sand) = 380.29 cm³

If the volume of sand is <u>greater than 380.29 cm³</u>, the box will sink in water.

Does someone know how to do math with that equation
mestny [16]

Answer:

f = 5 cm

Explanation:

using the thin lens equation, given as follows:

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{d_{o}}+\frac{1}{d_{i}}\\

where,

f = focal length = ?

do = the distance of object from lens = 20 cm

di = the distance of image from lens = 6.6667 cm

Therefore,

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{20\ cm}+\frac{1}{6.6667\ cm}\\\\\frac{1}{f} =  0.199999\ cm^{-1}\\\\f = \frac{1}{0.199999\ cm^{-1}}\\\\

<u>f = 5 cm</u>

A person, with his ear to the ground, sees a huge stone strike the concrete pavement. A moment later two sounds are heard from t
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

271.095 m

Explanation:

✓ Let speed of sound in air that was given as (343 m/s) be represented as (Vi)

✓( speed of sound in concrete that was given as (3000 m/s ) be debited as (Vc)

✓ Let the distance travelled by the sound = s

✓duration of Time that exist between heard of sounds = 0.70s

But we know that

Time = (Distance / Speed)

✓Time it takes the sound to travel through air= s/vi = s/343

✓Time it takes the sound to travel through concrete= s/vc = s/3000

✓ (s/343) - (s/3000) = 0.70

Finding LCM and simplify

[(3000s - 343s)]/1029000 = 0.70

2657s /1029000 = 0.70

Making " s" subject of the formula

s= (1029000 × 0.70)/2657

s=720300/ 2657

s= 271.095 m

Hence, The impact took place at a distance of 271.095 m away from the person.

Which of the following requirements must be present to hear a sonic boom?
Lorico [155]

Answer:

D) The velocity of the airplane must be greater than the speed of sound

Explanation:

Sonic boom is a phenomenon that occurs when an airplane travels ay a velocity greater than the speed of sound.

When this condition is met, the sound waves produced by the airplane (mainly from the engine) is not able to travel ahead of the plane, because the plane is moving at a greater speed than the sound itself; as a result, it is only transmitted behind the plane.

In this situation, a shock wave is produced. This shock wave is associated with a very loud "bang", that can be heard clearly even at several kilometers distance (in fact, supersonic planes are normally not allowed to fly over residential areas. In the past, for example the Concorde, was only allowerd to fly at supersonic speed over the ocean).

So the correct answer is

D) The velocity of the airplane must be greater than the speed of sound
