Answer:

K_{system} = \frac{k}{10}

Explanation:

When the springs are connected end to end, it means they are connected in series. When the springs are connected in series, the stress applied to the system gets applied to each of the springs without any change in magnitude while the strain of the system is the sum total of strains of each spring. The spring constant of the resultant system is given as,

\frac{1}{K_{system}} = (\frac{1}{K_{1}})+(\frac{1}{K_{2}})+(\frac{1}{K_{3}})+ (\frac{1}{K_{4}})+.....+(\frac{1}{K_{n}})

Here, n = 10

Spring constant of each spring = k

Thus,

\frac{1}{K_{system}} = (\frac{1}{K_{1}})+(\frac{1}{K_{2}})+(\frac{1}{K_{3}})+ (\frac{1}{K_{4}})+.....+(\frac{1}{K_{10}})

\frac{1}{K_{system}} = (\frac{1}{k})+(\frac{1}{k})+(\frac{1}{k})+(\frac{1}{k})+(\frac{1}{k})+(\frac{1}{k})+(\frac{1}{k})+(\frac{1}{k})+(\frac{1}{k})+(\frac{1}{k})

\frac{1}{K_{system}} = \frac{10}{k}

K_{system} = \frac{k}{10}

Answer:

K_{eq}= \frac{K}{10}

Explanation:

When springs are connected end to end their effective spring constant

\frac{1}{K_{eq}}=\frac{1}{K_1} +\frac{1}{K_2}.................................\frac{1}{K_{10}}

all ten springs same spring constant K

⇒K=K1=K2........K10

therefore,

\frac{1}{K_{eq}}=\frac{1}{K} +\frac{1}{K}.................................\frac{1}{K}

\frac{1}{K_{eq}} =\frac{10}{K}

⇒K_{eq}= \frac{K}{10}

A. Describe the photoelectric effect and explain why it could not be explained by Newtonian physics.
Leno4ka [110]

Explanation:

(a)

The photoelectric effect is the phenomenon in which the light of the particular frequency incidents on the material. Then the emission of the electrons from the surface of the material occurs.

This phenomenon could not be explained by Newtonian physics.

In Newtonian physics, the energy is not discrete. In quantum mechanics, the energy is discrete.  This is the main why the photoelectric effect could not be explained by Newtonian physics.

(b)

Light consists of  photons. The photon is a packet of energy. It is also called quanta. The energies of the photons are quantized.  

When a photon strikes on the surface of metal then the energy of photon is absorbed by an electron in the metal so that it may eject from the surface. This phenomenon is called the photoelectric effect.

(c)

In quantum mechanics, wave-particle duality concept is used to explain the wave-particle nature of the light. Light behaves as particle as well as wave. It shows both nature. The photoelectric phenomenon shows the particle nature of the light. It acts as a particle when it hits the surface of the metal.

In line spectra, the electron is excited to an energy level. In this case energy is transferred from photon to electron. There is a collision between photon and electron. The change in momentum will occur. It shows the particle nature of the light.

A Boeing 737 airliner has a mass of 20,000 kg and the total area of both wings (top or bottom) is 100 m2. What is the pressure d
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

The correct option is A = 1960 N/m²

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass m= 20,000kg

Area A = 100m²

Pressure different between top and bottom

Assume the plane has reached a cruising altitude and is not changing elevation. Then sum the forces in the vertical direction is given as

∑Fy = Wp + FL = 0

where

Wp = is the weight of the plane, and

FL is the lift pushing up on the plane.

Let solve for FL since the mass of the plane is given:

Wp + FL = 0

FL = -Wp

FL = -mg

FL = -20,000× -9.81

FL = 196,200N

FL should be positive since it is opposing the weight of the plane.

Let Equate FL to the pressure differential multiplied by the area of the wings:

FL = (Pb −Pt)⋅A

where Pb and Pt are the static pressures on bottom and top of the wings, respectively

FL = ∆P • A

∆P = FL/A

∆P = 196,200 / 100

∆P = 1962 N/m²

∆P ≈ 1960 N/m²

The pressure difference between the top and bottom surface of each wing when the airplane is in flight at a constant altitude is approximately 1960 N/m². Option A is correct

What is the formula for calculating mechanical power​
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

Because work can be defined as force time distance, we can also use the following equation

Solution

P=power (w or ft-lbf/s)

F=force (N or lbf)

D=distance (m or ft)

T=time (sec)

One horsepower is equivalent to 550 ft-lbf/s and 745.7 watts.

Mutations can be transmitted to the next generation only if they are present in
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

The germline (the gametes)

Explanation:

Mutations are permanent changes in the DNA sequence. They can occur randomly, from mistakes during DNA replication, or as the result of external factors like UV radiation.

For these mutations to be passed on to the next generation, they must be present in the DNA of the gametes(i.e. the egg and sperm cells). This is because this is the DNA that goes on to make the offspring in the next generation following fertilisation.

If mutations are present in somatic cells (i.e. cells other than the gametes), they are not passed on to the next generation. For example, if someone gets mutations in their skin cells as a result of exposure to UV rays, this will not be passed on to their children.
