On your first trip to Planet X you happen to take along a 280 g mass, a 40-cm-long spring, a meter stick, and a stopwatch. You'r

e curious about the free-fall acceleration on Planet X, where ordinary tasks seem easier than on earth, but you can't find this information in your Visitor's Guide. One night you suspend the spring from the ceiling in your room and hang the mass from it. You find that the mass stretches the spring by 21.7 cm . You then pull the mass down 11.0 cm and release it. With the stopwatch you find that 11 oscillations take 14.0 s .
Can you now satisfy your curiosity?

Answer:

5.31143691523 m/s²

Explanation:

m = Mass = 280 g

x = Displacement of spring = 21.7 cm

Time period

T=\dfrac{14}{11}\\\Rightarrow T=1.27\ s

Angular velocity is given by

\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{T}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{1.27}\\\Rightarrow \omega=4.94739\ rad/s

\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}\\\Rightarrow k=\omega^2m\\\Rightarrow k=4.94739^2\times 0.28\\\Rightarrow k=6.85346698739\ N/m

From Hooke's law

mg=kx\\\Rightarrow g=\dfrac{kx}{m}\\\Rightarrow g=\dfrac{6.85346698739\times 0.217}{0.28}\\\Rightarrow g=5.31143691523\ m/s^2

The acceleration due to gravity on the planet is 5.31143691523 m/s²

Yes, I have been able to satisfy my curiosity.

True [87]

This problem is looking for the minimum value of μs that is necessary to achieve the record time. To solve this problem:


Assuming the front wheels are off the ground for the entire ¼ mile = 402.3 m, the acceleration a = µs·9.8 m/s².


For a constant acceleration, distance = 402.3


m = 1/2at^2 = 804.6 m / (4.43 s)^2 = a = µs·9.8 m/s^2



µs = 804.6 m / (4.43s)^2 / 9.8 m/s^2 = 4.18

At 7.0°c, the volume of a gas is 49 ml. at the same pressure, its volume is 74 ml at what temperature?
Rashid [163]
So i converted everything first; 
<span>7.0 C ---> 280 K </span>
<span>49 mL---> 0.049 L </span>
<span>74mL---> 0.074 L </span>
<span>THEN I tried setting it up by the combined law formula which is P1V1/T1=P2V2/T2 </span>

If 180 grams of potassium iodide is dissolved in 100 cm3 of water at 30oC, a(n) _______________ solution is formed. A) saturated
kenny6666 [7]

Answer: D)supersaturated

Explanation: Solubility is defined as the amount of solute in grams which can dissolve in 100 g of the liquid to form a saturated solution at that particular temperature.

At 30^0C , the solubility of KI is 153g/100 ml.

Thus if 180 grams is dissolved, it contains more amount of solute than it can hold at that that temperature, and thus is supersaturated solution.

A saturated solution is a solution containing the maximum concentration of a solute dissolved in the solvent. ​The additional solute does not dissolve in a saturated solution.

An unsaturated solution is solution in which the solute concentration is lower than its equilibrium solubility.

A supersaturated solution is one that has more solute than it can hold at a certain temperature.

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

T_s = 6.8 degree C

Explanation:

As per thermal radiation we know that rate is heat radiation is given as

\frac{dQ}{dt} = \sigma eA (T^4 - T_s^4)

here we know that

T = 34 degree C = 307 K

A = 1.38 m^2

e = 0.557

\sigma = 5.67 \times 10^{-8} W/m^2K^4

\frac{dQ}{dt} = 120 J/s

now we have

120 = (5.67 \times 10^{-8})(0.557)(1.38)(307^4 - T_s^4)

120 = (4.36 \times 10^{-8})(307^4 - T_s^4)

T_s = 279.8 K

T_s = 6.8 degree C
