Two identical 0.400 kg masses are pressed against opposite ends of a light spring of force constant 1.75 N/cm, compressing the s

pring by 39.0 cm from its normal length. Find the speed of each mass when it has moved free of the spring on a frictionless horizontal table.

Answer:

0.853 m/s

Explanation:

Total energy stored in the spring = Total kinetic energy of the masses.

1/2ke² = 1/2m'v².................... Equation 1

Where k = spring constant of the spring, e = extension, m' = total mass, v = speed of the masses.

make v the subject of the equation,

v = e[√(k/m')].................... Equation 2

Given: e = 39 cm = 0.39 m, m' = 0.4+0.4 = 0.8 kg, k = 1.75 N/cm = 175 N/m.

Substitute into equation 2

v = 0.39[√(1.75/0.8)

v = 0.39[2.1875]

v = 0.853 m/s

Hence the speed of each mass = 0.853 m/s

Which interactions are part of the greenhouse effect? Select three options.
Allisa [31]

<u>Out of the given options, the following interactions are part of the greenhouse effect, </u>

  • Gases in the atmosphere absorb heat
  • Earth’s surface radiates energy back into the atmosphere
  • Gases in the atmosphere radiate heat back to the surface

Answers: Options A, D and E

<u>Explanation: </u>

The greenhouse effect, basically a warming effect caused by the greenhouse gases such as Carbon-Di-oxide, Methane, nitrous oxides, water vapour etc. These gases usually trap the heat that Earth Absorbs by the Sun.  

In the day time, the Earth absorbs the energy in the form of heat which is radiated by the Sun. In the evening, the process gets reversed and the Earth starts releasing that heat into the atmosphere.

Now, this heat gets absorbed by this gases before it leaves the Earth's atmosphere and gets trapped there only, resulting in the temperature raise of the Earth's environment.

So, the prime causes of the greenhouse effect remains as the heat radiation from the Sun, the absorption of that heat by the Earth surface and the further absorption of that heat produced by the greenhouse gases that present in the atmosphere.

A constant unbalanced force is applied to an object for a period of time. Which graph best represents the acceleration of the ob
balu736 [363]

Answer:

Here is an image attached with similar questions.

The correct answer is D where acceleration is function of time.

Explanation:

The force acting on the object is constant.

There is no change in the application of forces.

And we know that Force is the product of acceleration and masses.

Newtons second law: F=m\times a

Regarding mass we know that it can neither be created nor destroyed.

So in F=m \times a we have two constant terms, constant divided by constant will give the same result as a=\frac{Force}{mass}

There is no change in acceleration (a) with respect to time (t).

So the most appropriate graph where time (t) is changing on x-axis but acceleration doesn't changes is D.

The graph will be similar to y=any\ constant and will be horizontal to the x-axis.

Option D depicts the same.
