What kind of energy is stored when you squeeze a mattress?

2 answers:

7 0

Answer: When you squeeze a mattress, and you release it, you can see that return to the original shape. So, when you are squeezing it, the mattress "want" to return to the original shape. The mattress does it by storing elastic energy, and when you stop squeezing it, uses the elastic energy to return to the original shape.

so the energy stored is elastic energy.

Monochromatic light with a wavelength of 384 nm passes through a single slit and falls on a screen 86 cm away. If the distance o

valkas [14]

This is a Fraunhofer single slit experiment, where the light passing through the slit produces an interference pattern on the screen, and where the dark bands (minima of diffraction) are located at a distance of
$y= \frac{m\lambda D}{a}$
from the center of the pattern. In the formula, m is the order of the minimum, $\lambda$ the wavelenght, $D$ the distance of the screen from the slit and $a$ the width of the slit.

In our problem, the distance of the first-order band (m=1) is $y=0.22 cm$ . The distance of the screen is D=86 cm while the wavelength is $\lambda = 384 nm=384 \cdot 10^{-7}cm$ . Using these data and re-arranging the formula, we can find a, the width of the slit:
$a= \frac{m \lambda D}{y}= \frac{1 \cdot 384 \cdot 10^{-7}cm \cdot 86 cm}{0.22 cm}=0.015 cm$

A block is projected up a frictionless inclined plane with initial speed v0 = 1.72 m/s. The angle of incline is θ = 44.8°. (a) H

Snowcat [4.5K]

Explanation:

Given

initial velocity(v_0)=1.72 m/s

$\theta =44.8{\circ}$

using $v^2-u^2=2as$

Where v=final velocity (Here v=0)

u=initial velocity(1.72 m/s)

a=acceleration $(gsin\theta )$

s=distance traveled

$0-(1.72)^2=2(-9.81\times sin(44.8))s$

s=0.214 m

(b)time taken to travel 0.214 m

v=u+at

$0=1.72-gsin(44.8)\times t$

$t=\frac{1.72}{9.8\times sin(44.8)}$

t=0.249 s

(c)Speed of the block at bottom

$v^2-u^2=2as$

Here u=0 as it started coming downward

$v^2=2\times gsin(44.8)\times 0.214$

$v=\sqrt{2.985}$

v=1.72 m/s

Answer: the options to the questions are

a. 1.0 moles of N2

b.0.5 moles of New

c.0.2 moles of CO2

d.2 moles of He

Answer D

Explanation:

The average molecular speed v of gas is given by =√(8RT,/πM)

From the equation it can be seen that substance with lowest molar mass has the highest velocity has He is the answer

Three basic electrical effects occur when an electric current flows in a conductor: A magnetic field is set up around the conduc

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

A drop in voltage occurs

Explanation:

When electric current flows through a conduct, there are three basic electrical effects that occur to the conductor;

1. A magnetic field is set up around the conductor,

A magnetic field is formed around a conductor when current flows through it which makes it acts like a magnet. Application is used in electric bells.

2. Heat is generated, and

The heating effect of current is due to the conversion of some of the electrical energy that passes through the conductor, into heat energy. Application of heat effect include electric iron, microwave oven, electric bulb, hair straightener etc.

H = I²Rt

3. A drop in voltage occurs

Voltage drop is as a result of current passing through the impedance offers by the conductor or circuit elements. When current passes through a conductor, the resistance offers opposition to the flow of the electric current according to Ohm's law.
