Space-faring astronauts cannot use standard weight scales (since they are constantly in free fall) so instead they determine their mass by measuring the period of oscillation when sitting in a chair connected to a spring. Suppose a chair is connected to a spring with a spring constant of 600 N/m. If the empty chair oscillates with a period of 0.9s, what is the mass of an astronaut who oscillates with a period of 2.0 s while sitting in the chair

Carbon is allowed to diffuse through a steel plate 15 mm thick. the concentrations of carbon at the two faces are 0.65 and 0.30 kg c/m^3 fe, which are maintained constant. if the preexponential and activation energy are 6.2 x 10-7 m2 /s and 80,000 j/mol, respectively, compute the temperature at which the diffusion flux is 1.43 x 10^-9 kg/m^2 -s.

Visualize the problem and identify special cases first examine the problem by drawing a picture and visualizing the motion. apply newton's 2nd law, ∑f⃗ =ma⃗ , to each body in your mind. don't worry about which quantities are given. think about the forces on each body: how are these consistent with the direction of the acceleration for that body? can you think of any special cases that you can solve quickly now and use to test your understanding later? one special case in this problem is if m2=0, in which case block 1 would simply fall freely under the acceleration of gravity: a⃗ 1=−gj^.

Employer informs its employees that it will hold a substantial cash prize drawing for each work group at the end of each month in which no employee in the work group sustains a lost-time injury. tyra reports an injury that she sustained while operating a mechanical power press. tyra did not violate any employer safety rules when she sustained her injury. tyra’s injury requires her to miss work for two days. her employer cancels the cash prize drawing for that month for tyra’s work group because of tyra’s lost-time injury. did the employer misuse an incentive program to retaliate against tyra?
