A 0.20 kg mass (m1) hangs vertically from a spring and an elongation of the spring of 9.50 cm (r1) is recorded. With a mass (m2)

of 1.00 kg hanging on the spring, a second elongation (r2) of 12.00 cm is recorded. Calculate the spring constant k in Newtons per meter (N/m). (Note: The equilibrium position is not zero.)

Answer:

k=320N/m

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

Let the initial/equilibrum position be x

mass m1= 0.2kg

F1= 0.2*10= 2N

elongation e= 9.5cm= 0.095m

mass m2=1kg

F2=1*10= 10N

elongation e= 12cm= 0.12m

Step two:

From Hooke's law, which states that provided the elastic limits of a material is not exceeded the extention e is proportional to applied Force F

F=ke

2=k(0.095-a)

2=0.095k-ka----------1

10=k(0.12-a)

10=0.12k-ka----------2

solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously

 

   10=0.12k-ka----------2

-   2=0.095k-ka----------1

   8=0.025k-0

divide both side by 0.025

k=8/0.025

k=320N/m

Olegator [25]

Answer:

The correct answer is "\frac{4E}{3}".

Explanation:

According to the question,

Energy of satellite,

⇒ E_s=-\frac{GM_sM_E}{2r}

For the very 1st case:

r = R_E+R_E

  =2R_E

or,

⇒ E=-\frac{GM_sM_E}{4R_E}...(1)

For the new case:

r = R_E+\frac{R_E}{2}

  =\frac{3R_E}{2}

then,

⇒ E'=-\frac{GM_sM_E}{2 \frac{3R_E}{2} }

        =-\frac{GM_sM_E}{3R_E}...(2)

From equation (1) and (2), we get

⇒ E'=\frac{1}{3}(4E)

        =\frac{4E}{3}

inysia [295]

Answer:

The distance that you marginally able to discern that there are two headlights rather than a single light source is 6.084 km

Explanation:

Given:

d = distance = 0.679 m

λ = wavelength of the light = 537 nm = 537x10⁻⁹m

dp = pupil diameter = 4.81 mm = 0.00481 m

Question: What distance, in kilometers, are you marginally able to discern that there are two headlights rather than a single light source, dx = ?

For the separation of the peak from the central maximum it is:

sin\theta =\frac{\lambda }{d_{p} } =\frac{537x10^{-9} }{0.00481} =1.116x10^{-4}

In this case, the two small sources of the headlights have the same angle as the images that form inside the eye

d_{x} =\frac{d}{sin\theta } =\frac{0.679}{1.116x10^{-4} } =6.084x10^{3} m=6.084km

How is the speed of light measured when it is light years away?
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

<h2>In a vacuum, light travels at 670,616,629 mph (1,079,252,849 km/h). To find the distance of a light-year, you multiply this speed by the number of hours in a year (8,766). The result: One light-year equals 5,878,625,370,000 miles (9.5 trillion km).</h2>
