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?

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

A 1200-kg station wagon is moving along a straight highway at Another car, with mass 1800 kg and speed has its center of mass 40
taurus [48]

Answer:

Center of mass lies 24 m in front of center of mass of second wagon.

Explanation:

Suppose A 1200 kg station wagon is moving along a straight highway at 12.0 m/s. Another car with mass 1800 kg and speed 20.0 m/s.

Given that,

Mass of first wagon = 1200 kg

Mass of second wagon = 180 kg

Distance = 40 m

We need to calculate the position of the center of mass of the system

Using formula of center mass

x_{cm}=\dfrac{m_{1}x_{1}+m_{2}x_{2}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}

x_{cm}=\dfrac{1200\times0+1800\times40}{1200+1800}

x_{cm}=24\ m

Hence, Center of mass lies 24 m in front of center of mass of second wagon.

Which of the following accurately describe some aspect of gravitational waves? Select all that apply. (A) Gravitational waves co
crimeas [40]

Explanation :

The points regarding the gravitational waves are as follows :

(1) Gravitational waves are predicted to travel through space at the speed of light. So, the speed of gravitational waves is also equals c=3\times 10^8\ m/s.

(2) The first direct detection of gravitational waves came in 2015. It is detected using a advanced LIGO detectors.

(3) The existence of gravitational waves is predicted by Einstein's general theory of relativity.

Hence, the correct options are (B), (D) and (E).

Can you tell from the coefficient of restitution whether a collision has added kinetic energy to a system, taken some away, or l
Maurinko [17]
For an inelastic collision where coefficient of restitution,e, is equal to 0, the momentum is conserved but not the kinetic energy. So, there is addition or elimination of kinetic energy.

On the otherhand, when e = 1, like for an elastic collision, kinetic energy and momentum is conserved. Thus, the system's kinetic energy is unchanged.
