Answer:

159.38 Watts

Explanation:

Initially;

  • Mass on the spring is 8.5 kg
  • Therefore, compression force is 85 N
  • Compression distance is 15 cm or 0.15 m

But;

F = kx

where F is the force of compression, k is the spring constant and x is the compression distance.

Thus;

k = F/x

  = 85 N ÷0.15

  = 566.67 N/m

We are required to determine the power needed to stretch the same spring for 1.5 m in 4 secs.

Power = Work done ÷ time

Work done is given by 0.5kx²

Therefore;

Power = 0.5kx²÷ t

          = (0.5×566.67 N/m × 1.5² ) ÷ 4 seconds

          = 159.38 Watts

Thus, the power needed is 159.38 watts

Two wires are parallel and one is directly above the other. Each has a length of 50.0 m and a mass per unit length of 0.020 kg/m
ivann1987 [24]

Answer: The time required for the impluse passing through each other is approximately 0.18seconds

Explanation:

Given:

Length,L = 50m

M/L = 0.020kg/m

FA = 5.7×10^2N

FB = 2.5×10^2N

The sum of distance travelled by each pulse must be 50m since each pulse started from opposite ends.

Ca(t) + CB(t) = 50

Where CA and CB are the velocities of the wire A and B

t = 50/ (CA + CB)

But C = Sqrt(FL/M)

Substituting gives:

t = 50/ (Sqrt( FAL/M) + Sqrt(FBL/M))

t = 50/(Sqrt 5.7×10^2/0.02) + (Sqrt(2.5×10^2/0.02))

t = 50 / (168.62 + 111.83)

t = 50/280.15

t = 0.18 seconds

a ball of mass 0.5 kg is released from rest at a height of 30 m. how fast is it going when it hits the ground? acceleration due
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

24.25m/s

Explanation:

m = 0.5kg

u ( initial velocity) = 0m/s

v ( final velocity) =?

a = 9.8m/s^2

d (displacement) = 30m

Since u don't have time, u only have the choice to use this formula

V^2 = u^2 + 2ad

V^2 = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 30

V^2 = 588

V = 24.25 m/s

Which substances resist pH changes? <br> Acids<br> Hydrogen ions<br> Buffers<br> Bases
Vikki [24]

The correct choice is Buffers.

Buffers contains both acids and bases in equilibrium.when base is added to buffers, they adjust the pH value by releasing hydrogen ions.when acid is added to buffers, they adjust the pH value by consuming hydrogen ions. hence these substances resist any change in their pH value by releasing or absorbing hydrogen ions.This process keeps the pH value constant.
