A 20 newton weight is attached to a spring, causing it to stretch, as shown in the diagram below. What is the spring constant of

this spring?

4 0

A 20.-N force stretches the spring by 1.00 m - 0.50 m = 0.50 m, so by Hooke's law the spring constant is k such that

20. N = k (0.50 m)

⇒   k = (20. N) / (0.50 m) = 40 N/m

Light of wavelength 630 nm falls on two slits and produces an interference pattern in which the third-order bright red fringe is
goblinko [34]

Answer:

d \frac{x}{l} = m×  λ⇒ d = λ ×m×l / x

= 630×10^{-9} m × 3×3m/ 45×10^{-3} m

= 1.26×10^{-4}m

Explanation:

the above calculation is based on Young’s double slit experiment where the two slits provide two coherent light sources which results either constructive interference or destructive interference when passing through a double slit.

A cylinder of diameter 100 mm rolls from restdown a 5 m long ramp and its center of mass is moving with velocity 2 m/s at the bo
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

(a): a = 0.4m/s²

(b): α = 8 radians/s²

Explanation:

First we propose an equation to determine the linear acceleration and an equation to determine the space traveled in the ramp (5m):

a= (Vf-Vi)/t = (2m/s)/t

a: linear acceleration.

Vf: speed at the end of the ramp.

Vi: speed at the beginning of the ramp (zero).

d= (1/2)×a×t² = 5m

d: distance of the ramp (5m).

We replace the first equation in the second to determine the travel time on the ramp:

d = 5m = (1/2)×( (2m/s)/t)×t² = (1m/s)×t ⇒ t = 5s

And the linear acceleration will be:

a = (2m/s)/5s = 0.4m/s²

Now we determine the perimeter of the cylinder to know the linear distance traveled on the ramp in a revolution:

perimeter = π×diameter = π×0.1m = 0.3142m

To determine the angular acceleration we divide the linear acceleration by the radius of the cylinder:

α = (0.4m/s²)/(0.05m) = 8 radians/s²

α: angular aceleration.
