Answer:

560 N/m

Explanation:

F = kx

75 N = k (0.61 m − L)

210 N = k (0.85 m − L)

Divide the equations:

2.8 = (0.85 − L) / (0.61 − L)

2.8 (0.61 − L) = 0.85 − L

1.708 − 2.8L = 0.85 − L

0.858 = 1.8L

L = 0.477

Plug into either equation and find k.

75 = k (0.61 − 0.477)

k = 562.5

Rounded to two significant figures, k = 560 N/m.

An ocean liner is cruising at 10 meters/second and is about to approach a stationary ferryboat. A parcel is released from the oc
Afina-wow [57]
The parcel will undergo projectile motion, which means that it will have motion in both the horizontal and vertical direction.

First, we determine how long the parcel will fall using:

s = ut + 1/2 at²

where s will be the height, u is the initial vertical velocity of the parcel (0), t is the time of fall and a is the acceleration due to gravity. 

5.5 = (0)(t) + 1/2 (9.81)(t)²
t = 1.06 seconds

Now, we may use this time to determine the horizontal distance covered by the parcel by using:
distance = velocity * time

The horizontal velocity of the parcel will be equal to the horizontal velocity of the cruise liner.

Distance = 10 * 1.06
Distance = 10.6 meters

The boat should be 10.6 meters away horizontally from the point of release.

The potential energy for a certain mass moving in one dimension is given by U(x)=(2.0J/m3)x3−(15J/m2)x2+(36J/m)x−23JU(x)=(2.0J/m
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:x=2 and x=3

Explanation:

Given

Potential Energy for a certain mass is

U(x)=2x^3-15x^2+36x-23

and we know force is given by

F=-\frac{\mathrm{d} U}{\mathrm{d} x}

F=-(2\times 3x^2-15\times 2x+36)

For Force to be zero F=0

\Rightarrow 6x^2-30x+36=0

\Rightarrow x^2-5x+6=0

\Rightarrow x^2-2x-3x+6=0

\Rightarrow (x-2)(x-3)=0

Therefore at x=2 and x=3 Force on particle is zero.

A particle is in uniform circular motion. Assume a standard rtz coordinate system. If you deconstruct the net force acting on th
Kitty [74]

Answer:

a) One

Explanation:

In a uniform circular motion there must be a force acting to keep it in the circular track. This force can either be centripetal or a centrifugal force.

According to the Newton's first law of motion a particle continues to be in state of rest or in uniform motion until acted upon by an external force.

Here the term uniform motion need to be understood which refers to the uniform velocity of the particle in accordance to the vector laws.

a lady bug walks 10 cm forward then 5 cm backwards in 20 seconds. what is the average speed of the ladybug ?
igor_vitrenko [27]

A lady bug moves 10 cm forward and 5 cm backwards

so total distance moved by lady bug = 10 + 5 = 15 cm

total time taken by the lady bug

t =  20 s

so the average speed is given as

v = \frac{d}{t}

v = \frac{15}{20}

v = 0.75 cm/s

so its average speed is 0.75 cm/s

Why do most objects tend to contain nearly equal numbers of positive and negative charges?
mart [117]
<span>Most objects tend to contain the same numbers of positive and negative charge because this is the most stable situation. In fact, if an object has an excess of positive charge, it tends to attract an equal number of negative charges to balance this effect and restore neutrality: the attracted negative charges combine with the excess of positive charges, leaving the object electrically neutral.</span>
