You are tasked with calibrating the springs for a pinball machine. Your method of testing the springs is by attaching masses ont

o the end of the springs and measuring the stretch from initial position to final position. You hang a 14kg mass on a spring and notice that it stretches from 50 to 78cm. What is the spring constant for that spring

Answer:

490.5\ \text{N/m}

Explanation:

m = Mass attached to spring = 14 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81\ \text{m/s}^2

x = Displacement of spring = 78-50=28\ \text{cm}

k = Spring constant

The force balance of the system is given by

kx=mg\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{mg}{x}\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{14\times 9.81}{0.28}\\\Rightarrow k=490.5\ \text{N/m}

The spring constant for that spring is 490.5\ \text{N/m}.

Why do you keep moving forward when you slam on the brakes of your bike?
g100num [7]
Because the act of braking is an example of negative acceleration.
Example: if the rate of braking was say 2 meters per second^2, and the starting velocity was 10 m/s, it would take 5 seconds to come to a stop(during those 5 seconds you would still be moving).

Suppose that you are taking a course in geometry. You are trying to determine whether two geometric shapes are identical, so you
Nataly_w [17]

Explanation:

Yes, in order to determine whether two geometric figures are identical or not we tend to rotate one of the figure clockwise or anti clock wise mentally. However, in clockwise rotation larger the angel more will be the time taken for instance, it will take longer to rotate 120° than to rotate 40°. Whereas in anti clockwise ration it will be vice versa.

Could you pick up a nail using the curved part of the horseshoe magnet farthest from the poles?
nikitadnepr [17]

Yes

Explanation:

One can pick up a nail using the curved part of the horseshoe magnet farthest from the poles.

A horse shoe magnet has magnetic fields all around it.

  • In the presence of magnetic force fields, any magnetic object will be attracted to it.
  • This is the case with any magnet.
  • A magnet is any object with magnetic fields all around it.
  • This field causes attraction to any magnetic objects especially metals.

If length of wire is doubled keeping the diameter constant ,its Youngs modulus will be​
Luda [366]

Answer:

Y = Stress / Strain = (F / A) / (l / L)   where l is the change in length

Since L is doubled and A remains the same one would expect l, the change in length to also double so Y remains the same.

As an example think of hanging a weight from a spring and the same weight from a similar spring of twice the length - one would expect the longer spring to show twice the extension of the shorter spring.

What part of the atom is rutherford credited for discovering
kakasveta [241]

Rutherford is credited for discovering the nucleus of the atom. This occurred after he performed his famous gold foil experiment - by exposing a source of alpha particles to a gold foil to see how the particles deflected against the atoms of the foil, he discovered that the observed pattern only made sense when he considered the idea of a nucleus in this situation.
