Answer:

a   W_{3.5} = 490 \  J

b  W_{2.5} =  250 \  J

Explanation:

Generally the force constant is mathematically represented as

       k  = \frac{F}{x}

substituting values given in the question

=>   k  = \frac{16}{0.2}

=>   k  =  80 \ N /m

Generally the workdone  in stretching the spring 3.5 m is mathematically represented as

       W_{3.5} =  \frac{1}{2}  *  k  *  (3.5)^2

=>     W_{3.5} =  \frac{1}{2}  *  80  *  (3.5)^2

=>    W_{3.5} = 490 \  J

Generally the workdone  in compressing the spring 2.5 m is mathematically represented as

        W_{2.5} =  \frac{1}{2}  *  k  *  (2.5)^2

=>      W_{2.5} =  \frac{1}{2}  *  80 *  (2.5)^2

=>       W_{2.5} =  250 \  J

Calculate the mass of -1.5C of electrons​
algol13
The electron is a type of low-mass, very negatively charged with a particle. As such, it can easily be deflected by passing close to other electrons or the positive nucleus of an atom. m = mass of an electron in kg = 9.10938356 × 10-31 kilograms. e = magnitude of the charge of an electron in coulombs = 1.602 x 10-19 coulombs. Hope this helps!

What is the frequency of microwaves of wavelength 3 cm?
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

10 GHz

Explanation:

Applying,

v = λf.................... Equation 1

Where v = speed of microwave, λ = wavelength, f = frequency.

make f the subject of the equation

f = v/λ................ Equation 2

Note: Microwave is an electromagnetic wave, and all electromagnetic wave have the same speed, which is 3×10⁸ m/s

From the question,

Given: λ = 3 cm = 0.03 m

Constant; v = 3×10⁸ m/s

Substitute these values into equation 2

f = 3×10⁸/(0.03)

f = 10¹⁰ Hz

f = (10¹⁰/10⁹) GHz

f = 10 GHz

A swimming pool, 10.0 m by 4.0 m, is filled with water to a depth of 3.0 m at a temperature of 20.2°c. if the energy needed to r
Tomtit [17]

You need to find the mass of water in the pool.
Find the volume (10 x 4 x 3) = 120 m3

Water has a density of 1000g/m3,so 120 m3 = 120 x 1000 = 120 000 kg

[delta]H = 4.187 x 120 000 x 3.4 (and the units will be kJ)

You then use the heat of combustion knowing that each mole of methane releases 891 kJ of heat so if you divide 891 into the previous answer, you will get the number of moles of CH4
