In order to study the long-term effects of weightlessness, astronauts in space must be weighed (or at least "massed"). one way in which this is done is to seat them in a chair of known mass attached to a spring of known force constant and measure the period of the oscillations of this system. the 35.6kg chair alone oscillates with a period of 1.30s , and the period with the astronaut sitting in the chair is 2.23s . part a find the force constant of the spring. part b find the mass of the astronaut.

Pl asaaap ! match the term to the correct description. a type of wave that transfers energy where the particles in the medium move perpendicular to the direction in which the energy is traveling. a type of wave that transfers energy where the particles in the medium move parallel to the direction in which the energy is traveling. movement that is back and forth, like an equal sign = a type of wave that transfers energy where the particles in the medium move in a circle motion while the energy travels left or right. movement that is like a t transfers energy from one location to another 1. wave 2. parallel movement 3. perpendicular movement 4. transverse wave 5. longitudinal wave 6. surface wave

Efficiency is the ratio of to for a system a)power in to power in b)power in to power out c) power out to power out d) power out to power in

Two charged particles, q1 and q2, are located on the x-axis, with q1 at the origin and q2 initially at x1 = 12.2 mm. in this configuration, q1 exerts a repulsive force of 2.62 µn on q2. particle q2 is then moved to x2 = 18.0 mm. what is the force (magnitude and direction) that q2 exerts on q1 at this new location? (give the magnitude in µn.)
