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 36.2kg chair alone oscillates with a period of 1.15s , and the period with the astronaut sitting in the chair is 2.20s

part a: find the force constant of the spring.

part b: find the mass of the astronaut.

How do the measurements of charge at the different locations on the sphere compare to each other? the charge measurements are different at all locations on the sphere. the charge measurements are virtually not the same at all locations on the sphere except for the charge at the very top and at the very bottom that are equal. the charge measurements are virtually the same at all locations on the sphere except for the charge at the very top. at the top, the conductive sphere has a small disk that is made of different material. the charge measurements are the same at all locations on the sphere. what happens to the charge on the conductive sphere when it is connected to a source of charge such as the electrostatic voltage source? nothing will happen because no charge goes around the surface of the sphere. the charge on the conductive sphere spreads out over the surface of the sphere; being greater in some specific locations on the sphere. the charge on the conductive sphere spreads out uniformly over the surface of the sphere. the charge on the conductive sphere spreads out non-uniformly over the surface of the sphere.

You throw a small rock straight up from the edge of a highway bridge that crosses a river. the rock passes you on its way down, 7.00 s after it was thrown. what is the speed of the rock just before it reaches the water 28.0 m below the point where the rock left your hand? ignore air resistance.

Arailroad car collides with and sticks to an identical railroad car that is initially at rest. after the collision, the total kinetic energy of the two cars is a) the same as before. b) half as much as before. c) one third as much as before. d) one fourth as much as before. e) twice as much as before.
