-- In order to achieve constant verlocity, the net force on the mass must be zero. So if there ARE any forces acting on it, they must be balanced.

-- There is already a force on the mass that can't be eliminated . . . the force of gravity.

-- That force due to gravity is (mass x gravity) = (25 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = 245N in the downward direction.

-- In order to 'balance' the forces and make them add up to zero, we have to provide another force of 245N, all in the upward direction.

-- Then the forces on the object will be balanced, the NET force on it will be zero, and whichever way you start it moving, it will continue to move at a cornstant verlocity.

A sample of helium has a volume of 12.7 m3. The temperature is raised to 323 K at which time the gas occupies 32.5 m3? Assume pr

jasenka [17]

Answer: The original temperature was

$T_{1}=126.51K$

Explanation:

Let's put the information in mathematical form:

$V_{1}=12.7m^{3}$

$T_{1}=?$

$V_{2}=32.5m^{3}$

$T_{2}=323K$

$P_{1}=P_{2}=3atm$

If we consider the helium as an ideal gas, we can use the Ideal Gas Law:

$PV=nRT$

were R is the gas constant. And n is the number of moles (which we don't know yet)

From this, taking $R=0.08205746\frac{atm.l}{mol.K}$ , we have:

$n=\frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{RT_{2}}$

⇒ $n=3.67mol$

Now:

$T_{1}=\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{nR}$

⇒ $T_{1}=126.51K$

If i was feeling harsh today, I'd say the answer to your question is impossible to obtain due to the fact that photons do not emit radiation, photons ARE the radiation emitted. Though for the sake of it, here is the method...

The simple method:

E=hf

therefore f=e/h

f=(3.611x10^-15) / 6.63x10^-34)

Problem A spring was at its resting position where it is attached to a wall at its left side and a block at its right side as sh

puteri [66]

Answer:

F = 19.1 N

Explanation:

To find the force exerted by the string on the block you use the following formula:

$F=kx$ (1)

k: spring constant = 95.5 N/m

x: displacement of the block from its equilibrium position = 0.200 m

you replace the values of k and x in the equation (1):

$F=(95.5N/m)(0.200m)=19.1N$

Hence, the force exterted on the block is 19.1 N

A student thinks that any real vibration must be damped. Is the student correct? If so, give convincing reasoning. If not, give

Stels [109]

Answer:

Yes the student is correct

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed

The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy (disorderliness) of an isolated system always increases

Therefore, whereby energy is not supplied to maintain the orderly oscillatory motion with constant amplitude, the amplitude of the system is bound to reduce with time that is the vibration of the system must be damped

Gravity can be described as (2 points)

ladessa [460]

Answer:

"the force of attraction between two objects"

Explanation:

According to Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation, gravity is a force of attraction acting between objects that possess mass. The fact that we only observe gravitational attraction (as opposed to repulsion) makes gravity unique among the known forces.
