Explanation:

initial velocity=0

final velocity=40m/s

time=50s

acceleration=?

now,

a=v-u/t

a=40-0/50

a=40/50

a=0.8m/s^2

A fisherman's scale stretches 3.7 cm when a 3.5 kg fish hangs from it. (a) what is the spring constant? n/m (b) what will be the

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

(a) the weight of the fish is:
$W=mg=(3.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=34.3 N$
and this is the force that stretches the spring by $x=3.7 cm=0.037 m$ . So, we can use Hook's law to find the constant of the spring:
$k= \frac{F}{x}= \frac{34.3 N}{0.037 m}=927.0 N/m$

(b) The fish is pulled down by 2.8 cm = 0.028 m more, so now the total stretch of the spring is
$x'=3.7 cm+2.8 cm=6.5 cm$
But this is also the amplitude of the new oscillation, because this is the maximum extension the spring can get, so A=6.5 cm.

The angular frequency of oscillation is given by:
$\omega= \sqrt{ \frac{k}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{927.0 N/m}{3.5 kg} }=16.3 Hz$
and so the frequency is given by
$f= \frac{\omega}{2 \pi} = \frac{16.3 Hz}{2 \pi}=2.6 Hz$

Suppose two comets, comet A and comet B, were orbiting the sun, having the same average orbital radii. If comet A had a higher o

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

a. A

Explanation:

Kepler's First Law says that the orbits of planets are ellipses with the sun at one focus of the ellipse. Moreover, Kepler’s Second Law says that the line joining the planet to the sun sweeps out equal areas in equal times as it moves along its orbit. Finally, Kepler’s Third Law says that the ratio of the squares of the periods for two planets is equal to the ratio of the cubes of their semi-major axes.

By these laws, the comet A will have lower orbital speed.

If a projectile fired beneath the water, straight up, breaks through the surface at a speed of 13m/s, to what height above the w

OlgaM077 [116]

Well if you had either the velocity or distance traveled i could tell you. But since you haven't all i can say for sure is that the water slowed the bullet down to 13m/s so lets say you knew the distance you would calculate how many meters it traveled and you would have your answer because in this situation, meters (height) =how many seconds spent going into the air.
