The spring is suspended vertically and we use a standard ruler to measure its equilibrium length while hanging. This equilibrium length is measured be L(subscript i)= 17.2 cm. Next, a series of hanging weights with known masses are suspended from the spring, which is allowed to reach equilibrium (that is, no acceleration; the spring is at rest). For each hanging weight, the total length of the spring is measured and recorded.

Draw a free-body diagram for one of the hanging weights while the system is in equilibrium.

Abeam of electrons with of wavelength of 7.5 x 10-6 m is incident on a pair of narrow rectangular slits separated by 0.75 mm. the resulting interference pattern is projected onto a screen 10.0 m from the slits. what is the separation of the interference maxima in the resulting interference pattern?

Why do astronauts in the space shuttle weigh less?

Amass m = 74 kg slides on a frictionless track that has a drop, followed by a loop-the-loop with radius r = 18.4 m and finally a flat straight section at the same height as the center of the loop (18.4 m off the ground). since the mass would not make it around the loop if released from the height of the top of the loop (do you know why? ) it must be released above the top of the loop-the-loop height. (assume the mass never leaves the smooth track at any point on its path.) 1. what is the minimum speed the block must have at the top of the loop to make it around the loop-the-loop without leaving the track? 2. what height above the ground must the mass begin to make it around the loop-the-loop? 3. if the mass has just enough speed to make it around the loop without leaving the track, what will its speed be at the bottom of the loop? 4. if the mass has just enough speed to make it around the loop without leaving the track, what is its speed at the final flat level (18.4 m off the ground)? 5. now a spring with spring constant k = 15600 n/m is used on the final flat surface to stop the mass. how far does the spring compress?
