Answer:Work

Explanation:

When a spring is compressed the energy changes from kinetic to potential energy as Energy cannot be destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another.

This can be best explained with the help of work. Suppose a block with certain kinetic energy comes in contact to the spring its kinetic energy changes to Potential Energy of the spring or we can say that its Kinetic Energy is converted to Potential energy as the block does work on spring.  

Block compresses the spring by changing its length and it requires some work which is equal to change in its Potential Energy of spring.

1. How much heat must be absorbed by 375 grams of water to raise its
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

39225J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of water  = 375grams of water

Change in temperature  = 25°C

Specific heat capacity of water  = 4.184J/g°C

Unknown:

Amount of heat absorbed  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below:

      H  = m c Ф  

H is the heat absorbed

m is the mass

c is the specific heat capacity

Ф is the change in temperature

  Insert the parameters and solve;

      H  = 375 x 4.184 x (25) = 39225J

An electron (e = 1.6 x 10-19 C) is traveling at 4.00 x 107 m/s due North in a horizontal plane through a point where the earth’s
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force on the electron due to magnetic field 's north component will be zero because both velocity of electron and direction of magnetic field are same .

Force due to downward component of magnetic field

= B q v where B is magnetic field , q is charge moving and v is velocity of charge

F = 5 .00 x 10⁻⁵ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 4 x 10⁷

= 32 x 10⁻¹⁷ N

acceleration = F / m where m is mass of electron

= 32 x 10⁻¹⁷ / 9.11 x 10⁻³¹

= 3.5 x 10¹⁴ m/s²

A uniformly charged sphere has a potential on its surface of 450 V. At a radial distance of 7.2 m from this surface, the potenti
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

The radius of the sphere is 3.6 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Potential of first sphere = 450 V

Radial distance = 7.2 m

If the potential of sphere =150 V

We need to calculate the radius

Using formula for potential

For 450 V

V=\dfrac{kQ}{r}

450=\dfrac{kQ}{r}....(I)

For 150 V

150=\dfrac{kQ}{r+7.2}....(II)

Divided equation (I) by equation (II)

\dfrac{450}{150}=\dfrac{\dfrac{kQ}{r}}{\dfrac{kQ}{r+7.2}}

3=\dfrac{(r+7.2)}{r}

3r=r+7.2

r=\dfrac{7.2}{2}

r=3.6\ m

Hence, The radius of the sphere is 3.6 m.
