Place the single weight with a known mass on the spring and release it. Eventually, the weight will come to rest at an equilibri

um position, with the spring somewhat stretched compared to its original (unweighted) length. At this point, the upward force of the spring balances the force of gravity on the weight. With the weight in its equilibrium position, how does the amount the spring is stretched depend on the value of the weight's mass?

Answer:

X=m*g/K

Explanation:

Since the elastic force of the spring is balancing the force of gravity:

Fe = m*g

Now, on the spring by Hook's law, the magnitude of the elastic force will be:

Fe = K*X     where K is the elastic constant of the spring and X is the distance the spring is strectches measured from its original lenght to its current length.

Replacing this value:

K*X = m*g   Solving for X:

X = m*g/K    This value is directly proportional to the object's weight and inversely proportional to the spring's constant.

Yanka [14]

Answer:

4.7 m³

Explanation:

We'll use the gas law P1 • V1 / T1 = P2 • V2 / T2

* Givens :

P1 = 101 kPa , V1 = 2 m³ , T1 = 300.15 K , P2 = 40 kPa , T2 = 283.15 K

( We must always convert the temperature unit to Kelvin "K")

* What we want to find :

V2 = ?

* Solution :

101 × 2 / 300.15 = 40 × V2 / 283.15

V2 × 40 / 283.15 ≈ 0.67

V2 = 0.67 × 283.15 / 40

V2 ≈ 4.7 m³

A dielectric material such as paper is inserted between the plates of a capacitor as the capacitor holds a fixed charge on its p
Vikki [24]

Answer:

Introducing a dielectric into a capacitor decreases the electric field, which decreases the voltage, which increases the capacitance.

Explanation:

A dielectric (or dielectric material) is an electrical insulator that can be polarized by an applied electric field. When a dielectric material is placed in an electric field, electric charges do not flow through the material as they do in an electrical conductor but only slightly shift from their average equilibrium positions causing dielectric polarization

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

  9.877 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration can be computed from ...

  d = (1/2)at^2

  (1600 m) = (1/2)a(18 s)^2

  a = (1600/162) m/s^2 ≈ 9.877 m/s^2
