A light horizontal spring has a spring constant of 138 N/m. A 3.35 kg block is pressed against one end of the spring, compressin

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

$U_k = 0.113$

Explanation:

using the law of the conservation of energy:

$E_i -E_f=W_f$

$\frac{1}{2}Kx^2=NU_kd$

where K is the spring constant, x is the spring compression, N is the normal force of the block, $U_k$ is the coefficiet of kinetic friction and d is the distance.

Also, by laws of newton, N is calculated by:

N = mg

N = 3.35 kg * 9.81 m/s

N = 32.8635

So, Replacing values on the first equation, we get:

$\frac{1}{2}(138)(0.123)^2= (32.8635)U_k(0.281m)$

solving for $U_k$ :

$U_k = 0.113$

Observe yourself breathing and count the number of times you inhale per second. During each breath you probably inhale 0.66 L of

Pavel [41]

To solve this exercise it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Robert Boyle's law where:

$PV=nRT$

Where,

P = Pressure

V = Volume

T = Temperature

n = amount of substance

R = Ideal gas constant

We start by calculating the volume of inhaled O_2 for it:

$V = 21\% * 0.66L$

$V = 0.1386L$

Our values are given as

P = 1atm

T=293K $R = 0.083145kJ*mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

Using the equation to find n, we have:

$PV=nRT$

$n = \frac{PV}{RT}$

$n = \frac{(1)(0.1386)}{(0.0821)(293)}$

$n = 5.761*10^{-3}mol$

Number of molecules would be found through Avogadro number, then

$\#Molecules = 5.761*10^{-3}*6.022*10^{23}$

$\#Molecules = 3.469*10^{21} molecules$

the temperature of a 2.0-kg increases by 5*c when 2,000 J of thermal energy are added to the block. What is the specific heat of

nata0808 [166]

To calculate the specific heat capacity of an object or substance, we can use the formula

c = E / m△T

Where
c as the specific heat capacity,
E as the energy applied (assume no heat loss to surroundings),
m as mass and
△T as the energy change.

Now just substitute the numbers given into the equation.

c = 2000 / 2 x 5
c = 2000/ 10
c = 200

Therefore we can conclude that the specific heat capacity of the block is 200 Jkg^-1°C^-1
