When a mass of 25 g is attached to a certain spring, it makes 20 complete vibrations in 4.0 s. what is the spring constant of th
kicyunya [1011]

Response: The spring constant is 25 N/m.

Details:

The body’s mass is 25 g, which converts to 0.025 kg (since 1 kg = 1000 g).

The total oscillations are 20 in 4 seconds.

Oscillations per second = \frac{20}{4}=5

Spring's frequency of vibration is = 5 s^{-1}=5 Hz

The spring constant 'k' can be derived from the relationship involving frequency, mass, and spring constant.

Frequency=\frac{1}{2\pi}\times \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

5 s^{-1}=\frac{1}{2\times 3.14}\times \sqrt{\frac{k}{0.025 kg}}

k=24.649 N/m\approx 25 N/m

The spring constant is 25 N/m.

If a person weighs 882 N on the surface of the earth, at what altitude above the earth’s surface must they be for their weight t
Sav [1095]

Para calcular el peso utilizamos la fórmula:
F=m*g=882N

Cuando tenemos dos cuerpos, empleamos la fórmula de la gravedad general:
F=G* \frac{ M_{p}*M_{E} }{ r^{2} }
Donde:
G = constante de gravedad = 6.67* 10^{-11} m^{3} kg^{-1} s^{-2}
Mp = masa de la persona = 882 / 9.81= 89.9kg
ME = masa de la Tierra = 5.97* 10^{24} kg
r = distancia entre la Tierra y la persona

A partir de estas dos fórmulas, deducimos que los lados izquierdos son equivalentes, por lo tanto, los lados derechos también deben serlo.
m*g=G* \frac{ M_{p}*M_{E} }{ r^{2} }

Resolviendo esta ecuación para r:
r= \sqrt{G* \frac{ M_{p}*M_{E}}{M_{p}*g}
r=6371116m = 6371.116km

Esta es la distancia desde el centro de la Tierra. El radio de la Tierra es 6370km y la altura sobre la superficie es 6371.116 - 6370 = 1.116km o 1116m.

You stand on a bathroom scale in a moving elevator. what happens to the scale reading if the cable holding the elevator suddenly
Sav [1095]

A bathroom scale operates under gravitational influence. Typically, a reading is captured when your body applies force onto the scale. Yet in this scenario, as both you and the scale move downwards, your body ceases to press against the scale. Consequently, the result is:

<span>The scale reading will instantly drop to zero</span>

A girl and boy pull in opposite directions on a stuffed animal. The girl exerts a force of 3.5 N. The mass of the stuffed animal
Keith_Richards [1021]
I will assume the girl is on the right while the boy is on the left.
The net force represents the total of all forces acting on an object, factoring in negatives.
Let the force from the boy be denoted as b. We’ll apply the formula F = ma.

b + 3.5 = 0.2(2.5)

This reduces to a straightforward algebraic problem. By solving, we find that the boy is applying a force of -3N to the left.

Two friends, Burt and Ernie, are standing at opposite ends of a uniform log that is floating in a lake. The log is 3.2m long and
Softa [913]

Answer:

x = 0.29 m

Explanation:

It is known that the total external force acting on the mass system equals ZERO,

so the center of mass of the entire system will stay stationary.

We find that

m_1\Delta x_1 + m_2\Delta x_2 + m_3\Delta x_3 = 0

Since Ernie approaches Burt's position, we have:

33 x + 290 x + 32(-3.2 + x) = 0

355 x = 102.4

therefore, we conclude that

x = \frac{102.4}{355}

x = 0.29 m
