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

How much heat has to be added to 508 g of copper at 22.3°C to raise the temperature of the copper to 49.8°C? (The specific heat
viva [34]

Answer:

Q = 5267J

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity of copper (S) = 0.377 J/g·°C.

Q = MSΔT

ΔT = T2 - T1

ΔT=49.8 - 22.3 = 27.5C

Q = change in energy = ?

M = mass of substance =508g

Q = (508g) * (0.377 J/g·°C) * (27.5C)

Q= 5266.69J

Approximately, Q = 5267J

Answer:

A. nuclear fusion reactions

C. it's still hot from the big bang

Explanation:

The inside of the earth is hot due to some reasons. This heat provides the internal energy the drives processes within the earth interior. Here are some of the ways in which the heat has accumulated:

  • Nuclear reactions within the earth interior by fusion and other radioactive processes releases a large amount of heat.
  • Some heat accreted during the early formation of the earth and has not been lost till this day.
  • Heating due to friction

These are some of the sources of the earth's internal heat.

What will be net force be if net forces are unbalanced?
malfutka [58]

Answer: If the forces on an object are balanced, the net force is zero. If the forces are unbalanced forces, the effects don't cancel each other. Any time the forces acting on an object are unbalanced, the net force is not zero, and the motion of the object changes.
