The gravitational force between two objects is given by:
where
G is the gravitational constant
m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects
r is their separation
In this problem, the first object has a mass of
, while the second "object" is the Earth, with mass 
. The distance of the object from the Earth's center is 
; if we substitute these numbers into the equation, we find the force of gravity exerted by the Earth on the mass of 0.60 kg:
where
G is the gravitational constant
m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects
r is their separation
In this problem, the first object has a mass of
Answer:
a) k = 200 N/m
b) E = 4 J
c) Δx = 6.3 cm
Explanation:
a)
- In order to find force constant of the spring, k, we can use the the Hooke's Law, which reads as follows:
- where F = 40 N and Δx =- 0.2 m (since the force opposes to the displacement from the equilibrium position, we say that it's a restoring force).
- Solving for k:
b)
- Assuming no friction present, total mechanical energy mus keep constant.
- When the spring is stretched, all the energy is elastic potential, and can be expressed as follows:
- Replacing k and Δx by their values, we get:
c)
- When the object is oscillating, at any time, its energy will be part elastic potential, and part kinetic energy.
- We know that due to the conservation of energy, this sum will be equal to the total energy that we found in b).
- So, we can write the following expression:
- Replacing the right side of (5) with (4), k, m, and v by the givens, and simplifying, we can solve for Δx₁, as follows:
