A horizontal spring with stiffness 0.4 N/m has a relaxed length of 11 cm (0.11 m). A mass of 21 grams (0.021 kg) is attached and

you stretch the spring to a total length of 27 cm (0.27 m). The mass is then released from rest. What is the speed of the mass at the moment when the spring returns to its relaxed length of 11 cm (0.11 m)?

Answer:

0.6983 m/s

Explanation:

k = spring constant of the spring = 0.4 N/m

L₀ = Initial length = 11 cm = 0.11 m

L = Final length = 27 cm = 0.27 m

x = stretch in the spring = L - L₀ = 0.27 - 0.11 = 0.16 m

m = mass of the mass attached = 0.021 kg

v = speed of the mass

Using conservation of energy

Kinetic energy of mass = Spring potential energy

(0.5) m v² = (0.5) k x²

m v² = k x²

(0.021) v² = (0.4) (0.16)²

v = 0.6983 m/s

What mass of steam at 100°C must be mixed with 490 g of ice at its melting point, in a thermally insulated container, to produce
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

the mass of steam at 100°C must be mixed is 150 g

Explanation:

given information:

ice's mass, m_{i} = 490 g = 0.49 kg

steam temperature, T = 100°C

liquid water temperature, T = 89.0°C

specific heat of water, c_{w} = 4186 J/kg.K = 4.186 kJ/kg.K

latent heat of fusion, L_{f} = 333 kJ/kg

latent heat of vaporization, L_{v} = 2256 kJ/kg

first, we calculate the heat of melted ice to water

Q₁ = m_{i} L_{f}

where

Q = heat

m_{i} = mass of the ice

L_{f}  = latent heat of fusion

thus,

Q₁ = m_{i} L_{f}

    = 0.49 x 333

    = 163.17 kJ

then, the heat needed to increase the temperature of water to 89.0°C

Q₂ = m_{i} c_{w} (89 - 0), the temperature of ice is 0°C

c_{w} = specific heat of water

so,

Q₂ = m_{i} c_{w} (89 - 0)

     = 0.49 x 4.186 x 89

     = 182.55 kJ

so, the heat absorbed by the ice is

Q = Q₁ + Q₂

   = 163.17 + 182.55

   = 345.72 kJ

the temperature of the steam is 100°C, so the mass of the steam is

Q = m_{s}L_{v}  +  m_{s}c_{w} (100 - 89)

Q = m_{s}(L_{v}  +  c_{w} (11))

m_{s} = Q/ [L_{v}  +  c_{w} (11)]

      = 345.72/ [2256 + (4.186 x 11)]

      = 0.15 kg

      = 150 g

The distance between two telephone poles is 50 m. A 1 kg bird lands on the telephone wire midway between the poles, and the wire
masha68 [24]

Answer:

the tension produce by the bird in the wire is 610.3 N.

Explanation:

given information:

mass of the bird, m = 1 kg

distance of two telephone pole, L = 50 m

wire sag, y = 0.2

the tension of the wire can be calculate by the following equation

tan θ = y/(L/2)

         = 0.2/(50/2)

         = 0.2/25

thus

θ = arc tan (0.2/25)

  = 0.46°

according to Newton's first law

ΣF = 0, vertical direction

T sin θ + T sin θ - mg = 0

2 T sin θ = m g

T = mg/2 sinθ

  = 1 x 9.8/(2 sin 0.46)

  = 610.3 N

Describe how humans’ actions and natural processes have modified coastal regions in Louisiana and other locations
il63 [147K]
Coastal erosion has depleted a large portion of South Louisiana's wetlands along the coastline in swamps and marshes mainly due to storm surges. But other factors also contributed to this erosion. Canals and waterways dug through the marshes and swamps for the oil industry is one factor. Man-made levees erected to provide protection to residents living adjacent to the river is another major cause. Large scale logging especially in the early 1900's also damaged the wetlands.

Does natural selection produce a change in individuals or populations?
butalik [34]

Explanation:

Natural selection is the process through which populations of living organisms adapt and change. Individuals in a population are naturally variable, meaning that they are all different in some ways. This variation means that some individuals have traits better suited to the environment than others
