Answer:

See below

Explanation:

The work done equals the increase in Potential Energy

PE = mgh

= 150 * 9.81 * 1 = 1471.5 j

3 sets of 10 is 30 times this = 44145 j

A single mass (m1 = 3.5 kg) hangs from a spring in a motionless elevator. The spring constant is k = 278 N/m. 1)What is the dist

artcher [175]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

0.126m

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

According to Hooke's law, the force (F) acting on a spring to cause an extension or compression (e) is given by;

F = k x e -------------------(i)

Where;

k = the spring's constant.

From the question, the force acting on the spring is the weight(W) of the mass. i.e

F = W -----------------------(ii)

But;

W = m x g;

where;

m = mass of the object

g = acceleration due to gravity [usually taken as 10m/s²]

From equation (ii), it implies that;

F = W = m x g

Now substitute F = m x g into equation(i) as follows;

F = k x e

m x g = k x e ------------------(iii)

From the question;

m = m1 = 3.5kg

k = 278N/m

Substitute these values into equation (iii) as follows;

3.5 x 10 = 278 x e

35 = 278e

Now solve for e;

e = 35/278

e = 0.126m

Therefore, the distance the spring is stretched from its unstretched length (which is the same as the extension of the spring) is 0.126m

A 2kg block of which material would require 450 joules of thermal energy to increase its temperature by 1 degree Celsius?

12345 [234]

The block is made of A) Tin, as its specific heat capacity is $0.225 J/(g^{\circ}C)$

Explanation:

When an amount of energy Q is supplied to a sample of material of mass m, the temperature of the material increases by $\Delta T$ , according to the following equation :

$Q=mC_s \Delta T$

where $C_s$ is the specific heat capacity of the material.

In this problem, we have:

m = 2 kg = 2000 g is the mass of the unknown material

$Q = 450 J$ is the amount of energy supplied to the block

$\Delta T = 1^{\circ}C$ is the change in temperature of the material

Solving the equation for $C_s$ , we can find the specific heat capacity of the unknown sample:

$C_s = \frac{Q}{m \Delta T}=\frac{450}{(2000)(1)}=0.225 J/(g^{\circ}C)$

And by comparing with tabular values, we can find that this value is approximately the specific heat capacity of tin.
