A Hooke's law spring is compressed 12.0 cm from equilibrium, and the potential energy stored is 72.0 J. What compression (as mea

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:14.14 cm

Explanation:

Given

Spring Compression $x=12 cm$

Potential energy Stored in spring $=72 J$

Suppose k is the spring constant of spring

Potential Energy of spring is given by $=\frac{kx^2}{2}$

$\frac{k(0.12)^2}{2}=72$

$k(0.12)^2=144$

$k=10,000 N/m$

$k=10 kN/m$

for 100 J energy

$\frac{k(x_0)^2}{2}=100$

$10\times 10^3\cdot (x_0)^2=200$

$(x_0)^2=2\times 10^{-2}$

$x_0=0.1414$

$x_0=14.14 cm$

the average power of the Sun is 3.79x1026 Watts, answer the following questions: 13. What is the average intensity of light at E

Lemur [1.5K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Average power of sun $P=3.79\times10^{26}\ Watt$

We need to calculate the intensity of light at Earth's position

Using formula of intensity

$I=\dfrac{P_{avg}}{4\pi r^2}$

Where, I = intensity

P = power

Put the value into the formula

$I=\dfrac{3.79\times10^{26}}{4\pi\times(1.496\times10^{11})^2}$

$I=1347.616\ W/m^2$

So, The intensity is 1347.616 W/m².

(A). We need to calculate the pressure on a solar sail due to the light of the sun if it's fully reflective

Using formula for fully reflective

$P = \dfrac{2I}{c}$

Put the value into the formula

$P=\dfrac{2\times1347.616}{3\times10^{8}}$

$P=8.984\times10^{-6}\ N/m$

(B). We need to calculate the pressure on a solar sail due to the light of the sun if it's fully reflective

Using formula for fully absorptive

$P=\dfrac{I}{c}$

$P=\dfrac{1347.616}{3\times10^{8}}$

$P=4.492\times10^{-6}\ N/m$

Hence, This is the required solution.

Unlike most real bulbs, the resistances of the bulbs in the questions below do not change as the current through them changes. A

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Option 1 is correct.

The current passing through the brighter bulb is larger.

Explanation:

The brightness of the bulb is determined by the power, I²R

And since they all have equal resistances, the only factor different that could result in more or less power is the current, I through the bulb.
