The mass will sag lower and lower and compress the spring, until the
upward force of the spring is equal to the weight of the mass.  When
that happens, the two forces on the mass (gravity and spring) will be
balanced, and the mass will stop sinking.

-- The weight of the mass is (mass) x (gravity) = (0.63) x (9.8) Newtons.

-- The distance that the spring is compressed is  1 meter / 65 newtons.

(1 meter/65 newtons) x (0.63 x 9.8) newtons = 0.095 meter = <em>9.5 centimeters</em>

The gravitational field strength at a distance R from the center of moon is gR. The satellite is moved to a new circular orbit t
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

g'=\frac{g__R}{4}

Explanation:

Given:

  • gravitational field strength of moon at a distance R from its center, g__R
  • Distance of the satellite from the center of the moon, h=2R

<u>Now as we know that the value of gravity of any heavenly body is at height h is given as:</u>

g'=g__{R}} \times \frac{R^2}{(2R)^2}

g'=\frac{g__R}{4}

∴The gravitational field strength will become one-fourth of what it is at the surface of the moon.

A wooden disk of mass m and radius r has a string of negligible mass is wrapped around it. If the disk is allowed to fall and th
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

a = \frac{2}{3}g

T = \frac{mg}{3}

Explanation:

As the disc is unrolling from the thread then at any moment of the time

We have force equation as

mg - T = ma

also by torque equation we can say

TR = I\alpha

TR = \frac{1}{2}mR^2(\frac{a}{R})

T = \frac{1}{2}ma

Now we have

mg - \frac{1}{2}ma = ma

mg = \frac{3}{2}ma

a = \frac{2}{3}g

Also from above equation the tension force in the string is

T = \frac{1}{2}ma

T = \frac{mg}{3}

Object A with a mass of 500 kilograms hits stationary object B with a mass of 920 kilograms. If the collision is elastic, what h
Vika [28.1K]
In elastic collision, both the kinetic energy and momentum are conserved. Conservation means that both the kinetic energy and momentum will have the same values before and after elastic collision.

<span>As the object A has low mass than object B. Hence upon collision, object B moves forward, while object A will move backward. So option "C" is correct. </span>
