Consider two massless springs connected in series. spring 1 has a spring constant k1, and spring 2 has a spring constant k2. a constant force of magnitude f is being applied to the right. when the two springs are connected in this way, they form a system equivalent to a single spring of spring constant k. part awhat is the effective spring constant k of the two-spring system? express the effective spring constant in terms of k1 and k2.part bnow consider three springs set up in series as shown. (figure 2) the spring constants are k1, k2, and k3, and the force acting to the right again has magnitude f. find the spring constant k′ of the three-spring system. express your answer in terms of k1, k2, and k3.

The discovery that the universe appears to be expanding led to a widely accepted theory called a.) the big bang theory b.) the doppler effect c.) hubble’s law d.) solar nebular theory e.) the seyfert theory

In all trials, the magnitude of the final velocity for g1 + g2 was less than the magnitude of any initial velocity. as mass increased, what happened to the velocity? the velocity decreased. the velocity increased. the velocity of g1 + g2 could not be measured. the velocity was not affected by the mass increase.

The bubba chump shrimp company processes and packages shrimp for sale to wholesale seafood distributors. the shrimp are transported to the main plant by trucks that carry 1,000 pounds (lb) of shrimp. once the continuous flow processing of the shrimp begins, no inventory is allowed in buffers due to spoilage and all of the shrimp must be processed within 12 hours to prevent spoilage. the processing begins at the sorter, where the trucks dump the shrimp onto a conveyor belt that feeds into the sorter, which can sort up to 500 lb per hour. the shrimp then proceed to the desheller, which can process shrimp at the rate of 400 lb per hour. however, after 3 hours and 45 minutes of processing, the desheller must be stopped for 15 minutes to clean out empty shrimp shells that have accumulated. the veins of the shrimp are then removed in the deveining area at a maximum rate of 360 lb per hour. the shrimp proceed to the washing area, where they are processed at 750 lb per hour. finally, the shrimp are packaged and frozen. what is the daily process capacity of the processing plant (excluding the packaging and freezing)?
