Answer:

Δx = 1.2 m

Explanation:

The CHANGE of spring length) (Δx) can be found using PS = ½kΔx²

Δx = √(2PS/k) = √(2(450)/650) = 1.17669... ≈ 1.2 m

The actual length of the spring is unknown as it varies with material type, construction method, extension or compression, and other variables we have no clue about.

In the following free body diagram, what is the net force on the object?

frozen [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Simply take all forces pointing to the right of the box as positive and all of the forces pointing to the left of the box as negative and add all values.

ΣF = 7 + 18 + (-20) = 5N to the right

A 10.0 cm object is 5.0 cm from a concave mirror that has a focal length of 12 cm. What is the distance between the image and th

fiasKO [112]

Let's use the mirror equation to solve the problem:
$\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{d_o}+ \frac{1}{d_i}$
where f is the focal length of the mirror, $d_o$ the distance of the object from the mirror, and $d_i$ the distance of the image from the mirror.
For a concave mirror, for the sign convention f is considered to be positive. So we can solve the equation for $d_i$ by using the numbers given in the text of the problem:
$\frac{1}{12 cm}= \frac{1}{5 cm}+ \frac{1}{d_i}$
$\frac{1}{d_i}= -\frac{7}{60 cm}$
$d_i = -8.6 cm$
Where the negative sign means that the image is virtual, so it is located behind the mirror, at 8.6 cm from the center of the mirror.

How much force is required to move a electron through an electric field with strength of 1.375 x 10^19 N/C?

Luda [366]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force required to move the electron through the given field is 2.203 N

Explanation:

Given;

The field strength of the electron, E = 1.375 x 10¹⁹ N/C

charge of electron, q = 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

The magnitude of the force required to move the electron through the given field is calculated as follows;
