Answer:
300 N/m
Explanation:
given,
Load attached to the spring, W = 54 N
length of stretch of the spring, x = 0.15 m
spring constant= ?
Force applied on the spring is calculated by the equation
F = k x
where k is the spring constant
x is the displacement of the spring due to applied load
now,
54 = k × 0.15


hence, the spring constant is equal to 300 N/m
Answer:
Explanation:
Mass of ice m = 500g = .5 kg
Heat required to raise the temperature of ice by 10 degree
= mass of ice x specific heat of ice x change in temperature
= .5 x 2093 x 10 J
10465 J
Heat required to melt the ice
= mass of ice x latent heat
0.5 x 334 x 10³ J
167000 J
Heat required to raise its temperature to 18 degree
= mass x specific heat of water x rise in temperature
= .5 x 4182 x 18
=37638 J
Total heat
=10465 +167000+ 37638
=215103 J
The first one is electrical energy
As per the question, the mass of meteorite [ m]= 50 kg
The velocity of the meteorite [v] = 1000 m/s
When the meteorite falls on the ground, it will give whole of its kinetic energy to earth.
We are asked to calculate the gain in kinetic energy of earth.
The kinetic energy of meteorite is calculated as -
![Kinetic\ energy\ [K.E]\ =\frac{1}{2} mv^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Kinetic%5C%20energy%5C%20%5BK.E%5D%5C%20%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20mv%5E2)
![=\frac{1}{2}50kg*[1000\ m/s]^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D50kg%2A%5B1000%5C%20m%2Fs%5D%5E2)

Here, J stands for Joule which is the S.I unit of energy.
