When a 4.25 kg object is placed on top of a vertical spring, the spring compresses a distance of 2.62 cm. what is the force cons

tant of the spring?
Physics

ANTONII [103]3 years ago

The force applied to the spring is the weight of the object that compresses it, so it is equal to:
W=mg=(4.25 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=41.7 N

Because of this force, the spring compresses by x=2.62 cm=0.0262 m. Using Hook's law,
F=kx,
since we know the intensity of the force (the weight W) and the compression of the spring, x, we can find k, the spring constant:
k= \frac{F}{x}= \frac{W}{x}= \frac{41.7 N}{0.0262 m}   =1591.6 N/m

Olin [163]

Answer:

6.05 cm

Explanation:

The given equation is

2 aₓ(x-x₀)=( Vₓ²-V₀ₓ²)

The initial head velocity V₀ₓ =11 m/s

The final head velocity  Vₓ is 0

The accelerationis given by =1000 m/s²

the stopping distance = x-x₀=?

So we can wind the stopping distance by following formula

2 (-1000)(x-x₀)=[0^{2} -11^{2}]

x-x₀=6.05*10^{-2} m

       =6.05 cm

If an electromagnetic wave has components Ey = E0 sin(kx - ωt) and Bz = B0 sin(kx - ωt), in what direction is it traveling?
fomenos

Answer:

Its traveling in the +x direction

Explanation:

The E-field is in the +y-direction, and the B-field is in the +z-direction, so it must be moving along the +x-direction, since the E-field, B-field and the direction of moving are all at right angles to each other.

A voltage V is applied to the primary coil of a step-up transformer with a 3:1 ratio of turns between its primary and secondary
Snezhnost [94]

Explanation:

Let N_p\ and\ N_s are the number of turns in primary and secondary coil of the transformer such that,

\dfrac{N_p}{N_s}=\dfrac{1}{3}

A resistor R connected to the secondary dissipates a power P_s=100\ W

For a transformer, \dfrac{N_s}{N_p}=\dfrac{V_s}{V_p}

V_s=(\dfrac{N_s}{N_p})V_p

V_s=3V_p...............(1)

The power dissipated through the secondary coil is :

P_s=\dfrac{V_s^2}{R}

100\ W=\dfrac{V_s^2}{R}

V_p^2=\dfrac{100R}{9}.............(2)

Let N_p'\ and\ N_s' are the new number of turns in primary and secondary coil of the transformer such that,

\dfrac{N_p'}{N_s'}=\dfrac{1}{24}

New voltage is :

V_s'=(\dfrac{N_s'}{N_p'})V_p'

V_s'=24V_p...............(3)

So, new power dissipated is P_s'

P_s'=\dfrac{V_s'^2}{R}

P_s'=\dfrac{(24V_p)^2}{R}

P_s'=24^2\times \dfrac{(V_p)^2}{R}

P_s'=24^2\times \dfrac{(\dfrac{100R}{9})}{R}

P_s'=6400\ Watts

So, the new power dissipated by the same resistor is 6400 watts. Hence, this is the required solution.

A. Jupiter largest and most massive planet in the solar system

Jupiter has a huge permanent storm that looks like a red spot in images

Jupiter has at least 61 moons orbiting it, some of which are very large

Jupiter located closer to the sun than Kuiper Belt

<h3>Which option that best describes the planet Jupiter?</h3>

Jupiter came on fifth number from the sun and the Jupiter is the massive planet present in our solar system. It contains the big storms like great red spot. The surface of the Jupiter is gas made giant but the surface of the Jupiter is not solid, but it may have a solid inner core about the size of Earth.

The Jupiter contain at least 61 moons which orbiting the Jupiter . The life on the Jupiter is impossible because the Jupiter contain very much pressure, it has volatile surface and the temperature of the Jupiter is very hot than that of the earth.

So we can conclude that option A is the right answer.
