Answer:

In real measurements, the acceleration that is measured is always less than the acceleration of gravity, therefore there must be a force that opposes the movement, which is why Aristotle says that vacuum stenos

Explanation:

When a rock starts the vacuum, there are no friction forces that make its movement, therefore, if close to the Earth, the rock has an acceleration equal to the acceleration of gravity.

In real measurements, the acceleration that is measured is always less than the acceleration of gravity, therefore there must be a force that opposes the movement, which is why Aristotle says that vacuum stenos

Inga [223]

Answer:

4.37 * 10^-4 J

Explanation:

Energy stored :

mgΔl / 2

m = mass = 10kg ; g = 9.8m/s² ; r = cross sectional Radius = 1cm = 1 * 10-2 m

Δl = mgl / πr²Y

Y = Youngs modulus = Y=3.5 ×10^10 ; l = Length = 1m

Δl = (10 * 9.8 * 1) / π * (1 * 10^-2)²* 3.5 ×10^10

Δl = 98 / 3.5 * π * 10^6

Δl = 0.00000891267

Energy stored :

mgΔl / 2

(10 * 9.8 * 0.00000891267) / 2

= 0.00043672083 J

4.37 * 10^-4 J

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

x = 0.0537 m or 5.37 cm

Explanation:

Given:

spring constant'k'= 4900 N/m

radius 'r' =0.029 m

Area 'A' =r²π = 0.029²π => 2.6 x 10^{-3} m²

Here, Pressure 'P' is given by,

Pressure = Force / Area

And we know that, for a spring :

F = kx, where k is the spring constant and x is the change in length.

P = kx/A

As P = 101325 Pa

101325 = 4900x / ( 2.6 x 10^{-3})

x = 0.0537 m or 5.37 cm
