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

Who discovered laws of gravity and motion? He discovered aspects of light and color, leading to today's spectrum analysis
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Sir Isaac Newton

Explanation:

The laws according to which bodies move and how one body attracts another body were developed by Newton. The three laws of motion and the law of universal gravitation were developed by Newton.

In the seventeenth century almost all the refracting telescopes exhibited color distortion. Newton believed that white light had a spectrum which was the reason for this distortion. The lens of a refracting telescope used to act like a prism which caused the dispersion of light proving Newton's hypothesis.

Write differences between tornado and typhoon
Gala2k [10]

The difference lies in their size, wind velocity, rate of travel, and duration. A tornado reaches rotating speeds up to 300 miles per hour, travels between 25 and 40 miles per hour, and generally lasts for a few minutes (although it can exist for hours). A typhoon (the term used in the Pacific for a hurricane) has winds that vary from 75 to 200 miles per hour, moves between 10 and 20 miles per hour, has a diameter up to 600 miles, and exists from days up to a week. A tornado generally forms several thousand feet above Earth’s surface, usually during warm, humid weather. A typhoon breeds in low-altitude belts over the ocean, generally from 5 to 15 degrees latitude north or south.

A moonshiner makes the error of filling a glass jar to the brim and capping it tightly. The moonshine expands more than the glas
ohaa [14]

Answer:

ΔP = (640 N/cm^2)

Explanation:

Given:-

- The volume increase, ΔV/V0 = 4 ✕ 10^-3

- The Bulk Modulus, B = 1.6*10^9 N/m^2

Find:-

Calculate the force exerted by the moonshine per square centimeter

Solution:-

- The bulk modulus B of a material is dependent on change in pressure or Force per unit area and change in volume by the following relationship.

                                  B = ΔP / [(ΔV/V)]

- Now rearrange the above relation and solve for ΔP or force per unit area.

                                  ΔP = B* [(ΔV/V)]

- Plug in the values:

                                  ΔP = (1.6*10^9)*(4 ✕ 10^-3)

                                  ΔP = 6400000 N/m^2

- For unit conversion from N/m^2 to N/cm^2 we have:

                                  ΔP = (6400000 N/m^2) cm^2 / (100)^2 m^2

                                  ΔP = (640 N/cm^2)
