Answer:

a = 64 ft / s²

Explanation:

The force in a spring is given by Hooke's law

          F = -k x

Let's use the initial data to calculate the spring constant

         k = F / x

Reduscate to the English system

          x = 3 in (1foot/12 in) =0.25 foot

         k = 0.3 / 0.25

         k = 1.2  lb / foot

Now we can use Newton's second law

        F = ma

        a = F / m

        a = -k x / m

        m = w / g

        m = 0.3 / 32 = 0.009375

         x= 6 in (1foot /12 in)= 0.5 foot

        a = - 1.2  0.5  / 0.009375

        a = 64 ft / s²

A stone is dropped into a well. The sound of the splash is heard 6.25 s later. What is the depth of the well? (Take the speed of
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

depth of well is 163.30 m

Explanation:

Given data

speed of sound = 343 m/s

timer = 6.25 s

to find out

depth of well

solution

let us consider depth d

so equation will be

depth = 1/2 ×g ×t²    ..............1

and

depth = velocity of sound × time    .................2

here we have given time 6.25 that is sum of 2 time

when stone reach at bottom that time

another is sound reach us after stone strike on bottom

so time 1 + time 2 = 6.25 s

so from equation 1  and 2 we get

1/2 ×g ×t² = velocity of sound × time

1/2 ×9.8 × t1² = 343 × (6.25 - t1 )

t1 = 5.77376 sec

so height = 1/2 ×g ×t²

height = 1/2 ×9.8 × (5.773)²

height = 163.30 m

A thin soap bubble of index of refraction 1.33 is viewed with light of wavelength 550.0nm and appears very bright. Predict a pos
faust18 [17]

Answer:

The possible thickness of the soap bubble = 1.034\times 10^{-7}\ m.

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Refractive index of the soap bubble, \mu=1.33.
  • Wavelength of the light taken, \lambda = 550.0\ nm = 550.0\times 10^{-9}\ m.

Let the thickness of the soap bubble be t.

It is given that the soap bubble appears very bright, it means, there is a constructive interference takes place.

For the constructive interference of light through a thin film ( soap bubble), the condition of constructive interference is given as:

2\mu t=\left ( m+\dfrac 12 \right )\lambda.

where m is the order of constructive interference.

Since the soap bubble is appearing very bright, the order should be 0, as 0^{th} order interference has maximum intensity.

Thus,

2\mu t=\left (0+\dfrac 12\right )\lambda\\t=\dfrac{\lambda}{4\mu}\\\ \ = \dfrac{550\times 10^{-9}}{4\times 1.33}\\\ \ = 1.034\times 10^{-7}\ m.

It is the possible thickness of the soap bubble.

Identify which of the following is a complete and balanced chemical equation
Alona [7]

Answer:

because a complete equation must have all the elements present on the left hand side of the arrow on the right hand side of the arrow as well, and to be balanced there must be the same number of each type of atom, so both A and C are full equations, but A is not balanced because although there are two oxygen atoms on each side of the arrow, there is only one hydrogen atom on the left and two on the right, thus the right hand side is 'heavier' than the left and the equation is unbalanced.
