Don't know if this is a True/False questions but that is true
Answer:
Work done, W = 0.0219 J
Explanation:
Given that,
Force constant of the spring, k = 290 N/m
Compression in the spring, x = 12.3 mm = 0.0123 m
We need to find the work done to compress a spring. The work done in this way is given by :


W = 0.0219 J
So, the work done by the spring is 0.0219 joules. Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
1. 0.45 s.
2. 4.41 m/s
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Height (h) = 1 m
Time (t) =?
Velocity (v) =?
1. Determination of the time taken for the pencil to hit the floor.
Height (h) = 1 m
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Time (t) =?
h = ½gt²
1 = ½ × 9.8 × t²
1 = 4.9 × t²
Divide both side by 4.8
t² = 1/4.9
Take the square root of both side
t = √(1/4.9)
t = 0.45 s.
Thus, it will take 0.45 s for the pencil to hit the floor.
2. Determination of the velocity with which the pencil hit the floor.
Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Time (t) = 0.45 s.
Final velocity (v) =?
v = u + gt
v = 0 + (9.8 × 0.45)
v = 0 + 4.41
v = 4.41 m/s
Thus, the pencil hit the floor with a velocity of 4.41 m/s
<h2>When two object P and Q are supplied with the same quantity of heat, the temperature change in P is observed to be twice that of Q. The mass of P is half that of Q. The ratio of the specific heat capacity of P to Q</h2>
Explanation:
Specific heat capacity
It is defined as amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree celsius .
It is given as :
Heat absorbed = mass of substance x specific heat capacity x rise in temperature
or ,
Q= m x c x t
In above question , it is given :
For Q
mass of Q = m
Temperature changed =T₂/2
Heat supplied = x
Q= mc t
or
X=m x C₁ X T₁
or, X =m x C₁ x T₂/2
or, C₁=X x 2 /m x T₂ (equation 1 )
For another quantity : P
mass of P =m/2
Temperature= T₂
Heat supplied is same that is : X
so, X= m/2 x C₂ x T₂
or, C₂=2X/m. T₂ (equation 2 )
Now taking ratio of C₂ to c₁, We have
C₂/C₁= 2X /m.T₂ /2X /m.T₂
so, C₂/C₁= 1/1
so, the ratio is 1: 1
