In order to determine the acceleration of the block, use the following formula:
Moreover, remind that for an object attached to a spring the magnitude of the force acting over a mass is given by:
Then, you have:
by solving for a, you obtain:
In this case, you have:
k: spring constant = 100N/m
m: mass of the block = 200g = 0.2kg
x: distance related to the equilibrium position = 14cm - 12cm = 2cm = 0.02m
Replace the previous values of the parameters into the expression for a:
Hence, the acceleration of the block is 10 m/s^2
The process in which water vapor and
carbon dioxide retain heat is called the greenhouse effect.
<span>There are many gases which causes greenhouse
effect like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, fluorinated gases etc. These
gases trap the heat in the atmosphere, resulting the surface of earth to get
warm producing greenhouse effect.</span>
The change in temperature here corresponds to a sensible heat. The amount of energy required can be calculated by multiplying the specific heat capacity, the amount of the substance and the corresponding change in temperature.
Heat required = mCΔT
Heat required = 0.368 kg (0.0920 cal/g°C) (60 - 23)°C
Heat required = 1.25 cal
