A 1100 kgkg safe is 2.4 mm above a heavy-duty spring when the rope holding the safe breaks. The safe hits the spring and compres
Drupady [299]

Answer:

191.36 N/m

Explanation:

From the question,

The Potential Energy of the safe = Energy of the spring when it was compressed.

mgh = 1/2ke²............... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the safe, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height of the save above the heavy duty spring , k = spring constant, e = compression

Making k the subject of the equation,

k =2mgh/e²................ Equation 2

Given: m = 1100 kg, h = 2.4 mm = 0.0024 m, e = 0.52 m

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

k = 2(1100)(9.8)(0.0024)/0.52²

k = 51.744/0.2704

k = 191.36 N/m

Hence the spring constant of the heavy-duty spring = 191.36 N/m

suppose the same amount of heat is applied to two bars. they have the same mass, but experience different changes in temperature
Andreyy89

If both bars are made of a good conductor, then their specific heat capacities must be different. If both are metals, specific heat capacities of different metals can vary by quite a bit, eg, both are in kJ/kgK, Potassium is 0.13, and Lithium is very high at 3.57 - both of these are quite good conductors.

If one of the bars is a good conductor and the other is a good insulator, then, after the surface application of heat, the temperatures at the surfaces are almost bound to be different. This is because the heat will be rapidly conducted into the body of the conducting bar, soon achieving a constant temperature throughout the bar. Whereas, with the insulator, the heat will tend to stay where it's put, heating the bar considerably over that area. As the heat slowly conducts into the bar, it will also start to cool from its surface, because it's so hot, and even if it has the same heat capacity as the other bar, which might be possible, it will eventually reach a lower, steady temperature throughout.

PLEASE HELP ASAP...TIMED TEST. PLEASE ANSWER WITH AT LEAST A PARAGRAPH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
charle [14.2K]

Answer: I am pretty sure that you should pick radio waves.

Explanation: The scientist should use radio waves. I think this because you can use the radio waves to analyze the signals from outer space. This will work much better than anything there, to analyze it the best possible.

The best I could do.
