A force of 34N stretches a very light ideal spring 0.73 m from equilibrium, What is the force constant (spring constant) of the
1 answer:
Answer:
Spring constant, k = 47 N/m
Explanation:
It is given that,
Force applied to a spring, F = 34 N
A very light ideal spring moves 0.73 m from equilibrium position i.e. x = 0.73 m
We have to find the force constant or spring constant of the spring. It can be calculated using Hooke's law. According to him, the force acting on the spring when it compresses or stretches is given by :
(-ve sign shows opposite direction)
k = 46.5 N/m
or
k = 47 N/m
Hence, the spring constant of the spring is 47 N/m.

Answer:
More energy is transferred in situation A
Explanation:
Each of the situations are analyzed as follows;
Situation A
The temperature of the cup of hot chocolate = 40 °C
The temperature of the interior of the freezer in which the chocolate is placed = -20 °C
We note that at 0°C, the water in the chocolate freezes
The energy transferred by the chocolate to the freezer before freezing is given approximately as follows;
E₁ = m×c₁×ΔT₁
Where;
m = The mass of the chocolate
c₁ = The specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 kJ/(kg·K)
ΔT₁ = The change in temperature from 40 °C to 0°C
Therefore, we have;
E₁ = m×4.184×(40 - 0) = 167.360·m kJ
The heat the coffee gives to turn to ice is given as follows;
E₂ = m·
Where;
= The latent heat of fusion = 334 kJ/kg
∴ E₂ = m × 334 kJ/kg = 334·m kJ
The heat required to cool the frozen ice to -20 °C is given as follows;
E₃ = m·c₂·ΔT₂
Where;
c₂ = The specific heat capacity of ice = 2.108 kJ/(kg·K)
Therefore, we have;
E₃ = m × 2.108 ×(0 - (-20)) = 42.16
E₃ = 42.16·m kJ/(kg·K)
The total heat transferred = (167.360 + 334 + 42.16)·m kJ/(kg·K) = 543.52·m kJ/(kg·K)
Situation B
The temperature of the cup of hot chocolate = 90 °C
The temperature of the room in which the chocolate is placed = 25 °C
The heat transferred by the hot cup of coffee, E, is given as follows;
E = m×4.184×(90 - 25) = 271.96
∴ E = 271.96 kJ/(kg·K)
Therefore, the total heat transferred in situation A is approximately twice the heat transferred in situation B and is therefore more than the heat transferred in situation B
Energy transferred in situation A = 543.52 kJ/(kg·K)
Energy transferred in situation B = 271.96 kJ/(kg·K)
Energy transferred in situation A ≈ 2 × Energy transferred in situation B
∴ Energy transferred in situation A > Energy transferred in situation B.
