<h2>Answer:</h2>

1750N/m

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

According to Hooke's law, the spring constant (k) of an elastic material is the ratio of the force (F) applied to the material to the extension (x) of the material caused by this force. i.e

k = F / x         --------------(i)

From the question, the elastic material (spring) of 25 coils has a spring constant of 350N/m. This means that for every 350N force applied to the spring, the spring extends by 1m.

Now if the spring is cut into five equal parts each with five coils, imagine they are attached together such that the same force of 350N is applied to still cause a total extension of 1m. Each spring contributes 1/5 of this extension.

Therefore, the extension caused by each spring is 1/5 of 1m = 0.2m

Since the same force of 350N is applied, substitute F = 350N and x =  0.2m into equation (i) as follows;

k = 350 / 0.2

k = 1750N/m

Therefore, the spring constant of each of the 5-coil spring is 1750N/m

An automobile traveling at 25.0 km/h along a straight, level road accelerates to 65.0 km/h in 6.00 s. what is the magnitude of t
USPshnik [31]
Note that
1 km/h = (1000 m)/(3600 s) = 0.27778 m/s

Initial velocity, v₁ = 25 km/h = 6.9444 m/s
Final velocity, v₂ = 65 km/h = 18.0556 m/s

Time interval, dt = 6 s.

Calculate average acceleration.
a = (v₂ - v₁)/dt
   = (18.0556 - 6.9444 m/s)/(6 s)
   = 1.852 m/s²

Answer:
The average acceleration is 1.85 m/s² (nearest hundredth)

Rom4ik [11]
The area of the top and bottom:
2πr²
Cost for top and bottom:
2πr²  x 0.02
= 0.04πr²

Area for side:
2πrh
Cost for side:
2πrh x 0.01
= 0.02πrh

Total cost:
C = 0.04πr² + 0.02πrh

We know that the volume of the can is:
V = πr²h
h = 500/πr²

Substituting this into the cost equation to get a cost function of radius:
C(r) = 0.04πr² + 0.02πr(500/πr²)
C(r) = 0.04πr² + 10/r

Now, we differentiate with respect to r and equate to 0 to obtain the minimum value:

0 = 0.08πr - 10/r²
10/r² = 0.08πr
r³ = 125/π

r = 3.41 cm

A 54 kg man holding a 0.65 kg ball stands on a frozen pond next to a wall. He throws the ball at the wall with a speed of 12.1 m
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The velocity of the man is 0.144 m/s

Explanation:

This is a case of conservation of momentum.

The momentum of the moving ball before it was caught must equal the momentum of the man and the ball after he catches the ball.

Mass of ball = 0.65 kg

Mass of the man = 54 kg

Velocity of the ball = 12.1 m/s

Before collision, momentum of the ball = mass x velocity

= 0.65 x 12.1 = 7.865 kg-m/s

After collision the momentum of the man and ball system is

(0.65 + 54)Vf = 54.65Vf

Where Vf is their final common velocity.

Equating the initial and final momentum,

7.865 = 54.65Vf

Vf = 7.865/54.65 = 0.144 m/s

Suppose you see two main-sequence stars of the exact same spectral type. Star 1 is dimmer in apparent brightness than Star 2 by
katrin2010 [14]

Options:

A. The luminosity of Star 1 is a factor of 100 less than the luminosity of Star 2.

B. Star 1 is 100 times more distant than Star 2.

C. Without first knowing the distances to these stars, you cannot draw any conclusions about how their true luminosities compare to each other.

D. Star 1 is 10 times more distant than Star 2.

E. Star 1 is 100 times nearer than Star 2.

Answer:

D. Star 1 is 10 times more distant than star 2

Explanation:

For two stars of identical size and temperature, the closer one to us will appear brighter. The relationship between the distance and luminosity of stars is an inverse- square relationship.

Luminosity, L = 1/r²

Where r is the distance of the star to the earth

Since star 1 is dimmer in brightness than star 2 by a factor of 100,

L₁/L₂ = 1/100

i.e. L₁ = 1, L₂=100

L₁ = 1/r₁² ............(1)

1 =  1/r₁²

L₂ = 1/r₂²

100 =  1/r₂² .........(2)

divide equation (2) by equation (1)

100/1 = ( 1/r₂² )/ (1/r₁²)

100 = (r₁/r₂)²

r₁/r₂ = √100

r₁/r₂ = 10

r₁ = 10r₂
