2000J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Extension = 0.5m

Spring constant = 16000N/m

Unknown:

Energy stored in the bow string = ?

Solution:

The energy stored in a bow string is an elastic potential energy.

It can be calculated using the expression below;

Elastic energy = $\frac{1}{2}$ K e²

Where k is the spring constant

e is the extension

Input the parameters;

Elastic energy = $\frac{1}{2}$ K e²

= $\frac{1}{2}$ x 16000 x 0.5²

= 2000J

Which statement regarding sound traveling in air is correct?

nikdorinn [45]

Answer: D. A wave with a shorter wavelength is always faster than one with a longer wavelength

Explanation: "Imagine two sets of waves that have the same speed. If one set has a longer wavelength, it will have a lower frequency (more time between waves). If the other set has a shorter wavelength, it will have a higher frequency (less time between waves). Light moves even faster AND has shorter wavelengths."

Why it's not C: "The number of complete wavelengths in a given unit of time is called frequency (f). As a wavelength increases in size, its frequency and energy (E) decrease. From these equations you may realize that as the frequency increases, the wavelength gets shorter. As the frequency decreases, the wavelength gets longer."

Why it's not B: "The frequency does not change as the sound wave moves from one medium to another. Since the speed changes and the frequency does not, the wavelength must change."

Why it's not A: "Do loud sounds travel faster than soft sounds? No. Both travel at the same speed The speed depends on the medium it passes through. Louder sounds are simply sound waves with higher amplitude traveling at the same speed."

A 1640 kg merry-go-round with a radius of 7.50 m accelerates from rest to a rate of 1.00 revolution per 8.00 s. Estimate the mer

son4ous [18]

Solution :

Given data :

Mass of the merry-go-round, m= 1640 kg

Radius of the merry-go-round, r = 7.50 m

Angular speed, $\omega = \frac{1}{8}$ rev/sec

$=\frac{2 \pi \times 7.5}{8}$ rad/sec

= 5.89 rad/sec

Therefore, force required,

$F=m.\omega^2.r$

$$$=1640 \times (5.89)^2 \times 7.5$

= 427126.9 N

Thus, the net work done for the acceleration is given by :

W = F x r

= 427126.9 x 7.5

= 3,203,451.75 J

Wich statment belongs to Daltons atomic theroy?

lozanna [386]

Answer:

Dalton's Atomic Theory states that :-

1) All matter is made up of very tiny particles called atoms.

2) Atoms are indivisible particles , which can't be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

3) Atoms of a given element are identical in mass & chemical properties.

4) Atoms of very different elements have different masses & chemical properties.

5) Atoms combine in the ratio of small whole numbers to form compounds.

6) The relative number & kinds of atoms are constant in a given compound.

It's drawback's are :-

1) Atoms can be divided further into electrons , protons & neutrons.

2) According to Dalton Atomic Theory, atoms of an element are identical in mass, size and many other chemical or physical properties. But, practically we observe that atoms of several elements differ in their densities and masses. These atoms with the different masses are known as isotopes. For example, Chlorine (Cl) has 2 isotopes with the mass numbers of 35 and 37.

3) Also, according to Dalton Atomic Theory, atoms of two-different elements differ in mass, size and many other chemical or physical properties. However, this is not correct for all situations. For example, Argon (Ar) and Calcium (Ca) atoms, each have an atomic mass of 40 amu. These atoms with similar atomic masses are isobars.

4) Dalton Atomic Theory fails to explain the existence of allotropes. For example, Dalton atomic theory fails to explain the differences in properties of charcoal, graphite, and diamond (which are the allotropes of carbon).
