Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

(B) 0.5 g

Explanation:

Newton's second law says ∑  F i = m a .

the rate of change in momentum of a body is proportional to the force applied on the body.

f∝ma

f=kma

were k is constant and equal to 1

The centripetal acceleration is an acceleration.

the tension on the swing and object weight goes to the left hand side while the centripetal acceleration goes to the right handside

At the bottom of the swing, ΣF = FT – mg = mac;

notice that the tension in the swing is 1.5 times the weight of the object

we can write

1.5mg – mg = mac,

0.5mg = mac

0.5 g=ac

OLga [1]

Answer:

66.5N

Explanation:

F = kx

Where F = force

K = spring constant

x = compression

Given

K = 950N/m

x = 7.0cm

F = ?

First convert the compression to meters .

7.0cm = 7.0 x 0.01

= 0.07 meters

Therefore

F = 950 x 0.07

= 66.5N
