Answer:
(a). The spring compressed is 
.
(b). The acceleration is 1.5 g.
Explanation:
Given that,
Acceleration = a
mass = m
spring constant = k
(a). We need to calculate the spring compressed
Using balance equation
....(I)
The spring compressed is .
(b). If the compression is 2.5 times larger than it is when the mass sits in a still elevator,
The compression is given by
Here, acceleration is zero
So, 
We need to calculate the acceleration
Put the value of x in equation (I)
Hence, (a). The spring compressed is .
(b). The acceleration is 1.5 g.
Let point A be 0.0 miles (first city)
Let point B be 160.5 miles (first city to second city)
Let point C be 28.5 miles (first city to mail stop)
Take C – A = C [28.5 - 0.0 = 28.5] (This checks the distance between city 1 and Mail stop)
Then Take B – C = Distance from the first city to the second city [160.5 - 28.5 = 132 Miles]
Answer: The Mail stop is 132 miles from the Second City.
1) Assuming an adult person has an average mass of m=80 kg, and assuming it takes about 30 seconds to climb 5 meters of stairs, the energy used by the person is
So the power output is
And since the estimate we made is very rough, we can say that the power output of the person is comparable to the power output of the light bulb of 100 W.
2) Based on the results we found in the previous part of the exercise, since the power output of the person is comparable to the power output of 1 light bulb of 100 W, we can say that the person could have kept burning only one 100-W light bulb during the climb.
Seafloor spreading is a geologic process in which tectonic plates—large slabs of Earth's lithosphere—split apart from each other.
Hello,
<u>Solution for A:</u>
Force = 3.00N
Mass = 0.50 Kgs
Time = 1.50 Seconds
According to newton's second law of motion;
Force = Mass times Acceleration(a)
3.00 = 0.50 * a
a = 3.00/0.50 = 6.00 m/s^2
We know that acceleration = Velocity / time
So Velocity = time * acceleration = 1.50 * 6 = 9.00 m/s^2
<u>Solution for B:</u>
The net force = 4.00N - 3.00N = 1.00N to the left
Force = 1.00N
Mass = 0.50Kg
Time = 3.00 Seconds
Again; F = MA (Where F is force, M is mass and A is acceleration)
1.00N = 0.5 * A
A = 1/0.5 = 2 m/s^2
Velocity = Acceleration * Time = 2 * 3 = 6 m/s
