Answer: The spring constant for the supermarket scale is 400 N/m.

Explanation:

To calculate the spring constant, we use Hooke's Law. The formula for Hooke's law is:

F=kx

where, F = Force applied on the spring = 4N

k = Spring constant = ? N/m

x = Compression or extension of the spring = 0.01m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

400N=k\times 0.01m\\\\k=400N/m

Hence, the spring constant for the supermarket scale is 400 N/m.

A bag containing 0ºC ice is much more effective in absorbing energy than one containing the same amount of 0ºC water.
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

No temperature change occurs from heat transfer if ice melts and becomes liquid water (i.e., during a phase change). For example, consider water dripping from icicles melting on a roof warmed by the Sun. Conversely, water freezes in an ice tray cooled by lower-temperature surroundings.

Explanation:

Energy is required to melt a solid because the cohesive bonds between the molecules in the solid must be broken apart such that, in the liquid, the molecules can move around at comparable kinetic energies; thus, there is no rise in temperature. Similarly, energy is needed to vaporize a liquid, because molecules in a liquid interact with each other via attractive forces. There is no temperature change until a phase change is complete. The temperature of a cup of soda initially at 0ºC stays at 0ºC until all the ice has melted. Conversely, energy is released during freezing and condensation, usually in the form of thermal energy. Work is done by cohesive forces when molecules are brought together. The corresponding energy must be given off (dissipated) to allow them to stay together Figure 2.

The energy involved in a phase change depends on two major factors: the number and strength of bonds or force pairs. The number of bonds is proportional to the number of molecules and thus to the mass of the sample. The strength of forces depends on the type of molecules. The heat Q required to change the phase of a sample of mass m is given by

Q = mLf (melting/freezing,

Q = mLv (vaporization/condensation),

where the latent heat of fusion, Lf, and latent heat of vaporization, Lv, are material constants that are determined experimentally.

How much heat is absorbed by a 71g iron skillet when its temperature rises from 11oC to 29oC?
diamong [38]
The right formula to use for this calculation is the heat capacity formula, 
Heat absorbed, Q = MCT, Where 
M = Mass of the substance = 71
C = Specific heat capacity for iron = 0.450 J/gc
T = Change in temperature = 29 - 11 = 18
Q = 71 * 0.450 *18 = 575.10
The amount of heat absorbed by the iron skillet is 575 J.

KonstantinChe [14]
Before positive psychology, the main focus was mostly pathology, that is, studying various psychological issues and sometimes finding ways to treat them, or sometimes not and just studying them for the sake of studying them and noting their occurrence.
