What is hooke's law? does it apply to elastic materials or to inelastic materials?

6 0

When you talk about Hooke's law, it always have to do something with springs. Hooke's Law, from Robert Hooke, saw a relation between the force applied to the spring and the extension of its length. The equation is: F = kx, where k is the spring constant and x is the displacement of the original and stretched lengths. In other words, x is the length of deformation. Hence, the object must be elastic to come up with a displacement or deformation, in the first place. Then, the Hooke's Law is only applicable to elastic materials.

Suppose an oven's radiation wavelength is 0.125 m. a container with 350.00 g of water was placed in the oven, and the temperatur

ivann1987 [24]

The heat (energy) needed to raise the temperature of the water is given by
$Q=m C_S (T_f - T_i)=(350.0 g)(4.18 J/gC)(80C-20C)=87780 J$

The wavelength of the radiation of the oven is $\lambda=0.125 m$ , so the energy of a single photon of this radiation is
$E=h \frac{c}{\lambda}=(6.6 \cdot 10^{-34}J) \frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{0.125 m}=1.6 \cdot 10^{-24} J$

So, the number of photons required to heat the water is the total energy absorbed by the water divided by the energy of a single photon:
$N= \frac{Q}{E}= \frac{87780 J}{1.6\cdot 10^{-24}J}= 5.5 \cdot 10^{28}$ photons

A brick sits on the top of a hill with a gravitational potential energy of 245 J. To determine the gravitational potential of th

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The mass of the object, its acceleration due to gravity and the distance between the top of the hill and the ground level.

Explanation:

gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed by a body under influence of gravitational force by virtue of its position.

In order to determine the gravitational potential energy of the brick, we must know the mass (m) of the brick, its acceleration due to gravity (g) since it is acting under the influence of gravitational force and the distance between the top of the hill and the ground level. (The height).

Potential energy of a body is calculated as mass × acceleration due to gravity × height.

What are the differences and relationships between speed, velocity, and acceleration

melamori03 [73]

Velocity is the rate of change of position with respect to time, whereas acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Both are vector quantities (and so also have a specified direction), but the units of velocity are meters per second while the units of acceleration are meters per second squared.
