11 An unstretched spring is 12,0 cm long. A load of 5.0N stretches it to 15.0cm. How long will it be under a load

Answer: Approximately 22 cm

=========================================================

Explanation:

The unstretched spring is 12.0 cm long. When adding a load of 5.0 N, it stretches to 15.0 cm. This is a displacement of 15.0 - 12.0 = 3.0 cm, which is the amount the spring is stretched.

Convert this displacement to meters (so that it fits with the meters unit buried in Newtons).

3.0 cm = (3.0)/100 = 0.03 m

Apply Hooke's Law to find the spring constant k

F = -kx

5.0 = -k*(0.03)

k = -(5.0)/(0.03)

k = -166.667 approximately

Now we must find the displacement x when F = 15 newtons

F = -kx

-kx = F

x = F/(-k)

x = -F/k

x = -15/(-166.667)

x = 0.089 approximately

x = 0.1

The displacement to one decimal place is about 0.1 meters, which converts to 100*0.1 = 10 cm

So the spring will be stretched to about 12cm+10cm = 22 cm

1. A sprinter races in the 100 meter dash. It takes him 10 second to reach the finish line
poizon [28]

Answer:

v = 10 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance covered by a sprinter, d = 100 m

Time taken by him to reach the finish line, t = 10 s

We need to find his average velocity. We know that velocity is equal to the distance covered divided by time taken. So,

v = d/t

v=\dfrac{100\ m}{10\ s}\\\\v=10\ m/s

Hence, his average velocity is 10 m/s.

To have the highest magnification in a telescope, the focal length of the objective lens should be _________ and the focal lengt
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Large; small.

Explanation:

A telescope can be defined as an optical instrument or device which comprises of a curved mirror and lenses used for viewing distant objects i.e objects that are very far away such as stars and other planetary bodies. The first telescope was invented by Sir Isaac Newton.

To have the highest magnification in a telescope, the focal length of the objective lens should be large and the focal length of the eyepiece lens should be small.

This ultimately implies that, the eyepiece lens has a small focal length while the objective lens has a large focal length.

Why do the passengers in high-altitude jet planes feel the sensation of weight while passengers in an orbiting space vehicle, su
kykrilka [37]

Passengers in an aircraft are subject to the Normal and Gravity Force acting on them at a low 'orbit', so tiny that it can be many times compared to the same surface of the earth when speaking in general terms.

In a high orbit space vehicle or in the same space, said force decreases considerably or simply disappears, generating the sensation of weightlessness.

Remember that the Force of Gravity is given under the principle

F_g = \frac{GMm}{r^2}

Where,

G = Gravitational Universal constant

M = Mass of the planet

m = mass of the object

r = Distance from center of the planet

When the radius grows considerably the gravitational force begins to decrease.

Does Earth´s magnetic field move?
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Yes it does.

Explanation:

"The North Magnetic Pole moves over time due to magnetic changes in Earth's core. " - Wikipedia.

It does move around as the magnetic north does.

2. A carpenter tosses a shingle off a 9.4 m high roof, giving it an initial horizontal
Aleksandr [31]

Sounds like the shingle/ball is thrown from the roof horizontally, so that the distance it travels <em>x</em> after time <em>t</em> horizontally is

<em>x</em> = (7.2 m/s) <em>t</em>

The object's height <em>y</em> at time <em>t</em> is

<em>y</em> = 9.4 m - 1/2 <em>gt</em>²

where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity, and its vertical velocity is

<em>v</em> = -<em>gt</em>

(a) The object hits the ground when <em>y</em> = 0:

0 = 9.4 m - 1/2 <em>gt</em>²

<em>t</em>² = 2 * (9.4 m) / (9.80 m/s²)

<em>t</em> ≈ 1.92 s

at which time the object's vertical velocity is

<em>v</em> = -<em>g</em> (1.92 s) = -18.8 m/s ≈ -19 m/s

(b) See part (a); it takes the object about 1.9 s to reach the ground.

(c) The object travels a horizontal distance of

<em>x</em> = (7.2 m/s) * (1.92 s) ≈ 13.8 m ≈ 14 m
