Answer:
8.9
Explanation:
We can start by calculating the initial elastic potential energy of the spring. This is given by:
(1)
where
k = 35.0 N/m is the initial spring constant
x = 0.375 m is the compression of the spring
Solving the equation,
Later, the professor told the student that he needs an elastic potential energy of
U' = 22.0 J
to achieve his goal. Assuming that the compression of the spring will remain the same, this means that we can calculate the new spring constant that is needed to achieve this energy, by solving eq.(1) for k:
Therefore, Tom needs to increase the spring constant by a factor:
Define the following:
Potential energy: In physics, potential energy is the energy held by an object because of its position relative to other objects, stresses within itself, its electric charge, or other factors.
Kinetic energy: In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes.
Mechanical energy:
Chemical energy: chemical energy, Energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds. Chemical energy may be released during a chemical reaction, often in the form of heat; such reactions are called exothermic. Reactions that require an input of heat to proceed may store some of that energy as chemical energy in newly formed bonds
Sound energy: In physics, sound energy is a form of energy that can be heard by living things. Only those waves that have a frequency of 16 Hz to 20 kHz are audible to humans. However, this range is an average and will slightly change from individual to individual.
Light energy: Light energy is a kind of kinetic energy with the ability to make types of light visible to human eyes. Light is defined as a form of electromagnetic radiation emitted by hot objects like lasers, bulbs, and the sun. Light contains photons which are minute packets of energy.
Nuclear energy: Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions to produce electricity. Nuclear power can be obtained from nuclear fission, nuclear decay and nuclear fusion reactions. Presently, the vast majority of electricity from nuclear power is produced by nuclear fission of uranium and plutonium in nuclear power plants
Answer:
The metre is currently defined as the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum in 1299 792 458 of a second. The metre was originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole along a great circle, so the Earth's circumference is approximately 40000 km
Answer:
9.81 × 10⁻¹⁰ C
Explanation:
Given:
Distance between the tissue and the tip of the scale, r = 6 cm = 0.06 m
Charge on the ruler, Q = - 12 μC = - 12 × 10⁻⁶ C
Mass of the tissue = 3 g = 0.003 Kg
Now,
The force required to pick the tissue, F = mg
where, g is the acceleration due to gravity
also,
The force between (F) the charges is given as:
where,
q is the charge on the tissue
k is the Coulomb's constant = 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²
thus,
on substituting the respective values, we get
or
q = 9.81 × 10⁻¹⁰ C
Minimum charge required to pick the tissue paper is 9.81 × 10⁻¹⁰ C
