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

How is thermal energy from the sun distributed on Earth ?
Mrac [35]
Conduction and convection both require some material substance
to move heat from one place to another, and there's none of that
between the sun and Earth. 

The only way for thermal energy to move from place to place with
nothing in between is by the process of radiation, and that's how
it gets here from the sun.

Two straight wires are in parallel and carry electrical currents in opposite directions with the same magnitude of LaTeX: 2.02.0
koban [17]

Answer:

2.4\times 10^{-5} N

Explanation:

We are given that

I_1=I_2=2.0 A

Distance between the wires,d=5.0 mm=5\times 10^{-3} m

1mm=10^{-3} m

Length of other wire,l=0.3 m

Length of one wire is infinite.

We have to find the magnitude of force between the two wires.

We know that magnetic force

F=\frac{2\mu_0 I_1I_2 l}{4\pi d}

Where \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}=10^{-7}

F=\frac{2\times 10^{-7}\times 2\times 2\times 0.3}{5\times 10^{-3}}

F=2.4\times 10^{-5} N

When the wires carrying equal current in opposite direction then the force between two wires repel to each other.

Margaret [11]
Zeros the left of the decimal but still less than one are non significant but to the right they are.
For example: 0.003 (only 3 is significant) but for 0.030 (two are significant)

If you sit on a skateboard and push against a brick wall, what would happen? Why do you think this?
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

well when if you are sitting down and then push off of the brick wall you will be backwards so you can't see anything so you might hit someone or something so you would have to be careful

Explanation:

the reason why i think this is because i have a brother who skateboard and he wants to help me get better and when we are just playing we sit down on the skateboard and push off things and ran into a pole because i was backwards and wasn't paying attention so that's why i think that
