Answer:

3.3kg

Explanation:

Given information:

Spring constant = 400N/m

Extension = 8cm = 0.08m

We need to determine:

The mass that the spring can support =?

Solution:

To arrive at the solution:

     F = kE

F represents the force

k is the spring constant

E is the extension

So;

            F = 400 x 0.08 = 32N

Mass;

       Force = mass x gravitational acceleration

          32 = mass x 9.8

  Therefore, mass = 3.3kg

A simple harmonic wave of wavelength 18.7 cm and amplitude 2.34 cm is propagating along a string in the negative x-direction at
Ostrovityanka [3204]

Answer

Given:

Wavelength = λ = 18.7 cm

                  = 0.187 m

Amplitude, A = 2.34 cm

Velocity, v = 0.38 m/s

A)  Calculate the angular frequency.

     f = \dfrac{v}{\lambda}

     f = \dfrac{0.38}{0.187}

     f =2.03\ Hz

Angular frequency,

ω = 2π f

ω = 2π x 2.03

ω = 12.75 rad/s

B) Calculate the wave number:

      K = \dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}

     K= \dfrac{2\pi}{0.187}

    K =33.59\ m^{-1}

C)

Since the wave is traveling in the -x direction, the sign is positive between x and t

y (x, t) = A sin(k x - ω t)

y (x, t) = 2.34 sin(33.59 x - 12.75 t)

If the coefficient of static friction between a table and a uniform massive rope is μs, what fraction of the rope can hang over
inna [3103]
Here's the procedure explained: Assume F represents the portion of the rope that is extending over the table. In this scenario, the frictional force that holds the rope on the table can be calculated using the formula: Ff = u*(1-f)*m*g. Additionally, it is important to determine the gravitational force that attempts to pull the rope off the table, Fg, calculated through: Fg = f*m*g. You then need to set these two equations equal to each other and resolve for f: f*m*g = u*(1-f)*m*g leads to f = u*(1-f) = u - uf. Simplifying gives f + uf = u, which results in f = u/(1+u) representing the fraction of the rope. This will lead you to the final answer.

Jade and her roommate Jari commute to work each morning, traveling west on I-10. One morning Jade left for work at 6:45 A.M., bu
Maru [3345]

Answer:

Jari

Explanation:

To determine who is traveling faster, we need to evaluate their gradients. A steeper slope indicates a higher speed.

For Jari's path, starting point is (0, 0) and (6, 7) is another point.

The gradient is the difference in y divided by the difference in x:

Change in y=7-0=7

Change in x=6-0=6

Thus, the slope equals 7/6.

For Jade, her first point is (0, 10) and another is (6, 16).

Change in y=16-10=6

Change in x=6-0=6

Thus, the slope equals 6/6=1.

It's evident that 7/6 exceeds 6/6 or 1, proving Jari is quicker than Jade.

A rare and valuable antique chest is being moved into a truck using a 4.00 m long ramp. the kj weight of the chest plus packing
ValentinkaMS [3465]

We start by finding the angle of inclination with the sine function,

sin θ = 1 m / 4 m

θ = 14.48°

 

Next, we compute the work done by the movers using the following formula:

W = Fnet * d

 

We need to first determine Fnet. It is the weight force minus the frictional force.

Fnet = m g sinθ – μ m g cosθ

Fnet = 1,500 sin14.48 – 0.2 * 1,500 * cos14.48

Fnet = 84.526 N

 

The work done is therefore:

W = 84.526 N * 4 m

<span>W = 338.10 J</span>
