A spring is hung from the ceiling. When a block is attached to its end, it stretches 2.6 cm before reaching its new equilibrium

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

f = 3.09 Hz

Explanation:

This is a simple harmonic motion exercise where the angular velocity is

w² = $\frac{k}{m}$

to find the constant (k) of the spring, we use Hooke's law with the initial data

F = - kx

where the force is the weight of the body that is hanging

F = W = m g

we substitute

m g = - k x

k = $- \frac{m g}{x}$

we calculate

k = $- \frac{9.8 m}{- 2.6 \ 10^{-2}}$

k = 3.769 10² m

we substitute in the first equation

w² = $\frac{ 3.769 \ 10^2 \ m }{m}$

w = 19.415 rad / s

angular velocity and frequency are related

w = 2πf

f = $\frac{w}{2\pi }$

f = 19.415 / 2pi

f = 3.09 Hz

You drive 6.00 km at 50.0 km/h and then another 6.00kmat 900 km/h Your average speed over

Cerrena [4.2K]

Explanation:

average speed = total distance travelled / total time travelled

time to travel the first 6km: 6 / 50 = 3/25 (h)

time to travel the next 6km: 6 / 90 = 1/15 (h)

[I think there's problem in the question 'cause 900km/h sounds impossible for normal person to travel in normal condition]

The total time: 3/25 + 1/15 = 14/75 (h)

Average speed over the 12 km drive will be:

$\frac{12}{ \frac{14}{75} } = \frac{450}{7} = 64.3 \: km{h}^{ - 1}$

How does a metamorphic rock become an igneous rock?

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

If the newly formed metamorphic rock continues to heat, it can eventually melt and become molten (magma). When the molten rock cools it forms an igneous rock. Metamorphic rocks can form from either sedimentary or igneous rocks.

A. How many calories are needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 °C?

sweet-ann [11.9K]

A) 1 cal

B) 80 cal

C) 540 cal

Explanation:

A)

The amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of a certain mass of a substance is given by

$Q=mC\Delta T$

where

m is the mass of the substance

C is the specific heat capacity

$\Delta T$ is the change in temperature

In this problem:

m = 1 g is the mass of water

$C=1 cal/g^{\circ}C$ is the specific heat capacity of water

$\Delta T=1^{\circ}C$ is the change in temperature

So, the heat needed is

$Q=(1)(1)(1)=1 cal$

B)

For a solid substance at its melting point, the amount of heat needed to melt completely the substance is given by

$Q=m\lambda_f$

where

m is the mass of the substance

$\lambda_f$ is the specific latent heat of fusion of the substance

In this problem:

- The ice is already at melting point, 0 °C

- Mass of the ice: $m=1g$

- Specific latent heat of fusion of ice: $\lambda_f=80 cal/g$

So, the heat needed is

$Q=(1)(80)=80 cal$

C)

For a liquid substance at its boiling point, the amount of heat needed to boil completely the substance is given by

$Q=m\lambda_v$

where

m is the mass of the substance

$\lambda_v$ is the specific latent heat of vaporization of the substance

In this problem:

- The water is already at boiling point, 100 °C

- Mass of the water: $m=1g$

- Specific latent heat of vaporization of water: $\lambda_v=540 cal/g$

So, the heat needed is

$Q=(1)(540)=540 cal$
