Answer:

As per given Information

Spring Constant ,K = 5N/cm
Force , F = 15N

we have to find the extension when loaded with given magnitude of force.

Using Formulae

$\bf \: F = Kx \:$

where, x is extension

Putting the value we get

$\sf \twoheadrightarrow \: 15 \: = 5 \times x \\ \\ \sf \twoheadrightarrow \: \frac{15}{5} = x \\ \\ \sf \twoheadrightarrow \cancel \frac{15}{5} = x \\ \\ \sf \twoheadrightarrow \: 3cm \: = x$

Hence, the extension is 3 cm

So, required option is (d) 3 cm

Pretty sure a it’s d since every cm increases by 5N meaning 3 cm would increase it by 15N

How much ice (at 0Â°C) must be added to 1.90 kg of water at 79 Â°C so as to end up with all liquid at 8 Â°C? (ci = 2000 J/(kg.Â°

muminat

m = mass of the ice added = ?

M = mass of water = 1.90 kg

$c_{w}$ = specific heat of the water = 4186 J/(kg ⁰C)

$c_{i}$ = specific heat of the ice = 2000 J/(kg ⁰C)

$L_{f}$ = latent heat of fusion of ice to water = 3.35 x 10⁵ J/kg

$T_{ii}$ = initial temperature of ice = 0 ⁰C

$T_{wi}$ = initial temperature of water = 79 ⁰C

T = final equilibrium temperature = 8 ⁰C

using conservation of heat

Heat gained by ice = Heat lost by water

m $c_{w}$ (T - $T_{ii}$ ) + m $L_{f}$ = M $c_{w}$ ( $T_{wi}$ - T)

inserting the values

m (4186) (8 - 0) + m (3.35 x 10⁵ ) = (1.90) (4186) (79 - 8)

m = 1.53 kg

a 0.15 kg baseball has a momentum of 0.78 kg*m/s just before it lands on the ground. What was the ball's speed just before landi

vovangra [49]

5.2m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of baseball = 0.15kg

Momentum of baseball = 0.78kgm/s

Unknown:

Speed of baseball = ?

Solution:

The momentum of the baseball is a function of the product of the mass and velocity. It is a vector quantity:

Momentum = mass x velocity

Since the speed of the ball is unknown:

Velocity = $\frac{momentum }{mass}$

= $\frac{0.78}{0.15}$

= 5.2m/s

The speed of the baseball before it lands is 5.2m/s

The center of a moon of mass m is a distance D from the center of a planet of mass M. At some distance x from the center of the

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

x = D (M/M-m) 2.41

Explanation:

a) Let's apply Newton's second law to find the summation of force, where each force is given by the law of universal gravitation

F = g m₁m₂ / r²

Σ F = 0

F1- F2 = 0

F1 = F2

We set the reference system in the body of greatest mass (M) the planet

F1 = g m₁ M / x²

F2 = G m1 m / (D-x)²

G m₁ M / x² = G m₁ m / (D-x)²

M (D-x)² = m x²

MD² -2MD x + M x² = m x²

x² (M-m) -2MD x + MD² = 0

We solve the second degree equation

x = [2MD ±√ (4M²D² - 4 (M-m) MD²)] / 2 (M-m)

x = {2MD ± 2D √ (M² + (M-m) M)} / 2 (M-m)

x = D {M ± Ra (2M²-mM)} / (M-m)

x = D (M ± M √ (2-m/M)) / (M-m)

x = D (M / (M-m)) (1 ±√ (2-m/M)

Let's analyze this result, the value of M-m >> 1, so if we take the negative root, the value of x would be negative, it is out of the point between the two bodies, so the correct result must be taken with the positive root

x = D (M / (M-m)) (1 + √2)

x = D (M/M-m) 2.41

b) X = 2/3 D

x = D (M/M-m) 2.41

2/3 D = D (M/(M-m)) 2.41

2/3 (M-m) = M 2.41

2/3 M - 2/3 m = 2.41 M

1.743 M = 0.667 m

M/m = 0.667/1.743

M/m = 0.38
