Answer:

43.56 N/m

Explanation:

From Hook's Law,

The Energy stored in a spring is given as

E = 1/2ke².......................... Equation 1

Where E = Energy stored in the spring, k = spring constant of the spring, e =. extension

make k the subject of the equation

k = 2E/e²....................... Equation 2

Given: E = 49 J, e = 2.9-1.4 = 1.5 m.

Substitute into equation 2

k = 2(49)/1.5²

k = 98/2.25

k = 43.56 N/m.

Hence the spring constant of the spring = 43.56 N/m

Answer:

44 N/m

Explanation:

The extension, e, of the spring = 2.9 m - 1.4 m = 1.5 m

The work needed to stretch a spring by <em>e</em> is given by

W = \frac{1}{2} ke^2

where <em>k</em> is spring constant.

k = \dfrac{2W}{e^2}

Using the appropriate values,

k = \dfrac{2\times 49\text{ J}}{1.5^2\text{ m}^2} = 43.55\ldots\text{ N/m} \approx 44\text{ N/m}

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Here's what I get  

Explanation:

A. Distance between A and B.

h = -½gt²

The stones go faster the farther they fall.

Stone A has already reached 5 m when B is released.

When B reaches 5 m, A has dropped further and is falling even faster.

The distance between the stones increases with time.

Figure 1 shows this effect in a graph of height vs. time.

B. Speed of Stone B

v² = 2gh =2 × ( -9.81 m·s⁻²) × (-5 m) = 98.1 m·s⁻²  

v = 9.9 m/s

The stone is travelling at 9.9 m/s when it reaches 5 m.

C. Velocity vs time

v = -gt

Both stones accelerate at the same rate.

When Stone B has reached 10 m at time t, Stone A is falling much faster.

Fig. 2 shows this in a graph of velocity vs time.

the distance between the sun and earth is about 1.5X10^11 m. express this distance with an SI prefix and kilometers
Angelina_Jolie [31]
First, we write the SI prefixed. The SI unit for distance is meters.

Kilo = 10³
Mega = 10⁶
Giga = 10⁹
Terra = 10¹²

Because our value has ten to the power of 11, we will use the closest and lowest power prefix, which is giga. 

1.5 x 10¹¹ /  10⁹
= 1.5 x 10² Gm or 150 Gm

Writing in kilometers, we simply repeat the procedure except we divide by 10³ this time.

1.5 x 10¹¹ / 10³
= 1.5 x 10⁸ km

A large box of mass M is pulled across a horizontal, frictionless surface by a horizontal rope with tension T. A small box of ma
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

T = g μ_s ( M+m )

78.4 N

Explanation:

When both of them move with the same acceleration , small box will not slip over the bigger one. When we apply force on the lower box, it starts moving with respect to lower box. So a frictional force arises on the lower box which helps it too to go ahead . The maximum value that this force can attain is mg μ_s . As a reaction of this force, another force acts on the lower box in opposite direction .

Net force on the lower box

= T - mg μ_s = M a    ( a is the acceleration created by net force in M )

Considering force on the upper box

mg μ_s = ma

a = g μ_s

Put this value of a in the equation above

T - m gμ_s = M g μ_s

T = mg μ_s + M g μ_s

=  g μ_s ( M+m )

2 )

Largest tension required

T = 9.8 x  .50 x ( 10+6 )

= 78.4 N
