other ans provides basics on spring constant n why it is affected by temperature. the actual change is more complicated - in addition to microstructural change, the spring itself expands when heated n contracts when chilled.

it depends on the material in question but in general spring constant decreases as temperature rises. so for the same force, the spring will extend more at higher temp.

Answer by, Kkmmll44 :P

Converting the measured force into a resultant displacement requires an accurate spring constant. This spring constant may change as the temperature rises due to microstructural effects. As the temperature increases, the spring constant decreases. A linear fit was made to the data to determine the spring constant

Equations!

F = kx. F is the force applied to the spring in newtons (N) k is the spring constant measured in newtons per meter (N/m) x is the distance the spring is stretched from its equilibrium position in meters (m) The Hooke's Law Apparatus.

Effects!

The heat treatment process alters the microstructure and strength of material, which will directly influence fatigue life [2]. Spring manufacturing requires materials

Brainliest please :)

Hope this helps!

The rhinestones in costume jewelry are glass with index of refraction 1.50. To make them more reflective, they are often coated

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to the given question, the computation of minimum coating thickness is shown below:-

The condition for constructive interference is

$2t_{min} = (m + \frac{1}{2} )\times \frac{\lambda}{^nmateral}$

$= (0 + \frac{1}{2} )\times \frac{\lambda}{^nmateral}$

$t = \frac{\lambda}{4n}$

Now we will put the values to the above formula to reach the answer

$= \frac{480nm}{4\times 2.0}$

= 60

Therefore we simply applied the above formula to determine the minimum coating thickness

A wave traveling in the positive x-direction with a frequency of 50.0 Hz is shown in the figure below. Find the following values

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. The amplitude is the measure of the height of the wave from the midline to the top of the wave or the midline to the bottom of the wave (called crests). The midline then divides the whole height in half. Thus, the amplitude of this wave is 9.0 cm.

b. Wavelength is measured from the highest point of one wave to the highest point of the next wave (or from the lowest point of one wave to the lowest point of the next wave, since they are the same). The wavelength of this wave then is 20.0 cm. or $\lambda=20.0cm$
