A 10.0 N package of whole wheat flour is suddenly placed on the pan of a scale such as you find in grocery stores. The pan is su

pported from below by a vertical spring of force constant 395 N/m. If the pan has negligible weight, find the maximum distance the spring will be compressed if no energy is dissipated by friction.

Answer:

0.025 m

Explanation:

From the question,

Applying Hook's law

F = ke................... Equation 1

Where F = Force, k = spring constant of the scale, e = maximum distance at which the spring will compress.

make e the subject of the equation

e = F/k....................... Equation 2

Given: F = 10 N, e = 395 N/m

Substitute these values into equation 2

e = 10/395

e = 0.025 m

What are stars made of?<br> How do they expand?<br> How do they explode?
lutik1710 [3]
Stars are made of very hot gas. This gas is mostly hydrogen and helium, which are the two lightest elements,  star is in a delicate and fragile balance between gravity, which would collapse the star to a point, and its internal pressure caused by the energy of the nuclear fusion reaction in the core. When a star's fuel has been spent, it explodes into a giant fireball known as a supernova.. I really hope this helps!!!!

A ball traveling at a speed ν0 rolls off a desk and lands at a horizontal distance x0 away from the desk, as shown in the figure
klasskru [66]

Answer:

3x_0

Explanation:

The horizontal distance covered by the ball in the falling is only determined by its horizontal motion - in fact, it is given by

d=v_x t

where

v_x is the horizontal velocity

t is the time of flight

The time of flight, instead, is only determined by the vertical motion of the ball: however, in this problem the vertical velocity is not changed (it is zero in both cases), so the time of flight remains the same.

In the first situation, the horizontal distance covered is

d=v_0 t = x_0

in the second case, the horizontal velocity is increased to

v_x' = 3v_0

And so the new distance travelled will be

d' = v_x' t = 3 v_0 t = 3 x_0

So, the distance increases linearly with the horizontal velocity.
