Answer:

a

 k =  457333.3 N/m

b

x_a  =0.09\ m      

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The total mass of  three people is  M  = 2.00*10^{2} \ kg

     The mass of the car is  m_c  =  1.200 *10^{3} \ kg

     The compression of the car spring is  x = 3 \ cm  = 0.03 \ m

     

Generally the spring constant is mathematically represented as

          k =  \frac{F}{x}

Here F is the force exerted by the mass of three people and that of the car , this is mathematically represented as        

=>       F = (M +m_c) *g

=>       F = ([2.0*10^{2} ]+[ 1.200*10^{3}]) * 9.8

=>       F = 13720 \  N

So

        k =  \frac{13720}{0.03}

=>     k =  457333.3 N/m

Generally if the mass which the car is loaded with is  m  =  3.00*10^{2} \ kg

Then the force experienced by the spring is  

         =>       F_a = (m +m_c) *g

         =>       F_a = (3.00*10^{3} + 1.200 *10^{3}) * 9.8

         =>       F_a = 41160 \  N

Generally from the above formula the compression is  

       x_a  = \frac{F_a}{k}

=>    x_a  = \frac{41160}{457333.3}

=>    x_a  =0.09\ m

The 6 strings on a guitar all have about the same length and are stretched with about the same tension.The highest string vibrat
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

B. d(low)=4d(high)

Explanation:

Frequency of a string can be written as;

f = v/2L

Where;

v = sound velocity

L = string length

Frequency can be further expanded to;

f = v/2L = (1/2L)√(T/u) ......1

Where;

m= mass,

u = linear density of string,

T = tension

p = density of string material

A = cross sectional area of string

d = string diameter

u = m/L .......2

m = pAL = p(πd^2)L/4 (since Area = (πd^2)/4)

f = (1/2L)√(T/u) = (1/2L)√(T/(m/L))

f = (1/2L)√(T/((p(πd^2)L/4)/L))

f = (1/2L)√(4T/pπd^2)

f = (1/L)(1/d)√(4T/pπ)

Since the length of the strings are the same, the frequency is inversely proportional to the string diameter.

f ~ 1/d

So, if

4f(low) = f(high)

Then,

d(low) = 4d(high)

Why is it a good idea to extend your bare hand forward when you are getting ready to catch a fast-moving baseball?
qaws [65]

Answer:d

Explanation:

It is good to extend your bare hand forward when you are getting ready to catch a fast-moving ball so you can pull your hand back, increasing the time to slow the ball thus decreasing the force.

While catching impulse is being transferred to hands imparting great force, lowering hand would increase the time so that average force decreases and chances to drop the ball also decreases.
