Three identical 6.67-kg masses hang at rest from three identical springs, numbered as in the figure. Each spring has an unstretc

hed length of 0.23 m and a spring constant of 8.13 kN/m. How long, L , is spring 2?
[Hint: Draw some FBDs and apply Newton's second law. Remember to account for both the spring's stretch and its unstretched length.]

The length of the spring 2 due to arrangement of the equal masses is determined as 0.238 m.

<h3>Extension of the spring 2</h3>

The extension of the spring 2 is determined from the net force acting on spring 2.

F(net) = Kx

<em>Net force on spring 2 = sum of forces acting downwards - sum of forces acting upwards.</em>

Net force on spring 2 = (force on 2 + force on 3) - (force on 1)

F(net) = (m₂ + m₃)g - (m₁)g

F(net) = (6.67 + 6.67)9.8  -  (6.67)9.8

F(net) = 130.732 - 65.366

F(net) = 65.366 N

x = F/k

x = (65.366)/(8130)

x = 0.00804 m

The length of spring 2 = x + 0.23 m

                                     = 0.00804 m + 0.23 m = 0.238 m

Thus, the length of the spring 2 due to arrangement of the equal masses is determined as 0.238 m.

A NASA satellite has just observed an asteroid that is on a collision course with the Earth. The asteroid has an estimated mass,
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

v = 7934.2 m/s

Explanation:

Here the total energy of the Asteroid and the Earth system will remains conserved

So we will have

-\frac{GMm}{r} + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 = -\frac{GMm}{R} + \frac{1}{2}mv^2

now we know that

v_0 = 660 m/s

M = 5.98 \times 10^{24} kg

m = 5 \times 10^9 kg

r = 4 \times 10^9 m

R = 6.37 \times 10^6 m

now from above formula

GMm(\frac{1}{R} - \frac{1}{r}) + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

now we have

2GM(\frac{1}{R} - \frac{1}{r}) + v_0^2 = v^2

now plug in all data

2(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(5.98 \times 10^{24})(\frac{1}{6.37 \times 10^6} - \frac{1}{4 \times 10^9}) + (660)^2 = v^2

v = 7934.2 m/s

Which person ha the most freedom to make his or her own lifestyle decisions?
alex41 [277]

Answer:

C Quincy

Explanation:

Both Frieda and Vladimir are too young to be making their own decisions. Lucinda has limited freedom due to having two children, while Quincy is just now becoming an adult and has his whole life still ahead of him. Therefore, Quincy has the most freedom to make their own lifestyle decisions.

I hope this helps!

A motorcyclist heading east through a small town accelerate at constant 4.0meter per seconds square after he leaves the limits.
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

A) The position at t = 2.0 sec is 43.0 m east

B) The position is 55 m east

Explanation:

A)

In order to solve the problem, we take the east direction as positive direction.

We know that:

- at t = 0, the motorcyclist is at a position of x_0 = 5.0 m

- at t = 0, the initial velocity of the motorcyclist is v_0 = 15.0 m east

- The acceleration of the motorcyclist is constant and it is a=4.0 m/s^2

Since the motion is a uniformly accelerated motion, the position of the motorcylist is given by the expression

x(t)=x_0 + v_0t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

where t is the time.

Substituting t = 2.0 s, we find the position:

x(2.0)=(5.0)+(15)(2.0)+\frac{1}{2}(4.0)(2.0)^2=43 m

B)

The velocity of the motoryclist can be found by calculating the derivative of the position. Therefore, it is:

v(t)=x'(t)=v_0 + at

where:

v_0=15.0 m/s is the initial velocity

a=4.0 m/s^2 is the acceleration

We want to find the time t at which the velocity is

v = 25 m/s

Solving the equation for t,

t=\frac{v-v_0}{a}=\frac{25-15}{4}=2.5 s

And therefore, the position at t = 2.5 s is:

x(2.5s)=5.0+(15.0)(2.5)+\frac{1}{2}(4)(2.5)^2=55 m
