Answer:

A) 35.5N/m b) 20.1cm

Explanation:

Using Hooke's law;

F = Ke where F is the weight of the object = mass of the object in kg * acceleration due to gravity in m/s^2 and k if the force constant of the spring in N/m and e is the extension of the spring which original length of the spring - new length after extension in meters

For the first body, m*g = K * (0.25- li)

Where li is the initial length of the spring

0.175*9.81 = k(0.25-li)

1.72 = k(0.25-li) as equation 1

For the second body, m *g = K* ( 0.775-li)

2.075*9.81 = k (0.775-li) equation 2

20.36 = k(0.775-li)

Make li subject of the formula;

li = 0.775 - 20.36/k

Substitute for li in equation 1

1.72 = k(0.25- (0.775 - 20.36/k))

1.72 = k ( 0.25 - 0.775 + 20.36/k)

Open the bracket with k

1.72 = 0.25k - 0.775k + 20.36 (since k cancel k)

Collect the like terms:

1.72 - 20.36 = - 0.525k

- 18.64 = -0.525k

Divide both side by -0.525

-18.64/-0.525 = -0.525/-0.525k

K = 35.5N/m

B) substitute for k in using

li = 0.775 - 20.36/k

li = 0.775 - 20.36/35.5

li = 0.775 - 0.574

li = 0.201 in meters

li = 0.201 * 100 centimeters = 20.1cm

A gaseous refrigerant undergoes compression when 150 j of work is done on it. if the internal energy of the gas increases by 120
zhenek [66]

The heat transferred is -30J

When the gas undergoes compression, work is done on the gas and its internal energy increases.

According to the first law of thermodynamics, the increase in internal energyΔU is the sum of the heat given to the gas ΔQ and the amount of work done on the gas ΔW

\Delta U=\Delta Q +\Delta W

The work done on the gas is 150 J due to compression and the internal energy of the gas increases by 120 J.

Therefore, the heat given to the gas is given by,

\Delta Q =\Delta U -\Delta W\\ =120 J -150 J\\  =-30 J

Thus, an amount of heat equal to 30 J flows out of the system.

An uncharged conductor has a hollow cavity inside of it. Within this cavity there is a charge of +10 µC that does not touch the
aliina [53]

Answer:

Explanation:

we have to make charge inside the conductor zero because we know that electric field inside the conductor should be zero

so,  the outer surface of the conductor should contain + 10 uC of charge and the inner surface contains -10 uC
