Answer:
k = 49 N/m
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass, m = 250 g = 0.25 kg
When the mass is attached to the end of the spring, it elongates 5 cm or 0.05 m. We need to find the spring constant. Let it is k.
The force due to mass is balanced by its weight as follows :
mg=kx

So, the spring constant of the spring is 49 N/m.
Answer: The electric repulsion between the two protons is stronger than the gravitational attraction.
Explanation: Please see the attachments below
<u>We are Given:</u>
Mass of the block (m) = 500 grams or 0.5 Kg
Initial velocity of the block (u) = 0 m/s
Distance travelled by the block (s) = 8 m
Time taken to cover 8 m (t)= 2 seconds
Acceleration of the block (a) = a m/s²
<u>Solving for the acceleration:</u>
From the seconds equation of motion:
s = ut + 1/2* (at²)
<em>replacing the variables</em>
8 = (0)(2) + 1/2(a)(2)²
8 = 2a
a = 4 m/s²
Therefore, the acceleration of the block is 4 m/s²
Answer and Explanation: To know how much tape he will need, we have to calculate the perimeter of each parallelogram-shaped stripe.
Perimeter is the sum of all the sides of a figure.
For a parallelogram:
P = 2*length + 2*width
So, we need to determine width and length of the stripe.
Width is 3 inches. Length is the hypotenuse of the right triangle, whose sides are 6 and 18 inches. Then, length is


h = 19 in
Perimeter of the first stripe is
P = (2*19) + (2*3)
P = 44 inches
The hazard sign has 3 stripes. So total perimeter is
44 + 44 + 44
132 inches
To outline the parallelogram-shaped stripes, Charles need a total of 132 inches of tape. Since one roll has 144 inches, he will have enough tape to finish the job.
