Answer:

C. N/m (newtons/meter)

Explanation:

Since the equation for potential energy for a spring is PE = 1/2kx², after you know <em>k </em>and <em>x</em>, you will get an answer in Joules.

Please let me know if you want me to explain further!

Thanks!

Answer:

Option (c)

Explanation:

The spring constant is defined as the force per unit length of compression or expansion in spring. So it's unit is newton per metre.

Thermopane window is constructed, using two layers of glass 4.0 mm thick, separated by an air space of 5.0 mm.

Bond [772]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to rate of thermal conduction

$\frac{Q}{t} = \frac{kA\Delta T}{d}$

The letter Q represents the amount of heat transferred in a time t, k is the thermal conductivity constant for the material, A is the cross sectional area of the material transferring heat, $\Delta T$ , T is the difference in temperature between one side of the material and the other, and d is the thickness of the material.

The change made between glass and air would be determined by:

$(\frac{Q}{t})_{glass} = (\frac{Q}{t})_{air}$

$k_{glass}(\frac{A}{L})_{glass} \Delta T_{glass} = k_{air}(A/L)_{air} \Delta T_{air}$

$\Delta T_{air} = (\frac{k_{glass}}{k_{air}})(\frac{L_{air}}{L_{glass}}) \Delta T_{glass}$

$\Delta T_{air} = (\frac{0.84}{0.0234})(\frac{5}{4}) \Delta T_{glass}$

$\Delta T_{air} = 44.9 \Delta T_{glass}$

There are two layers of Glass and one layer of Air so the total temperature would be given as,

$\Delta T = \Delta T_{glass} +\Delta T_{air} +\Delta T_{glass}$

$\Delta T = 2\Delta T_{glass} +\Delta T_{air}$

$20\°C = 46.9\Delta T_{glass}$

$\Delta T_{glass} = 0.426\°C$

Finally the rate of heat flow through this windows is given as,

$\Delta {Q}{t} = k_{glass}\frac{A}{L_{glass}}\Delta T_{glass}$

$\Delta {Q}{t} = 0.84*24*10 -3*0.426$

$\Delta {Q}{t} = 179W$

Therefore the correct answer is D. 180W.

What is solar made from

Eduardwww [97]

Solar cells are made out of silicon wafers. These are made out of the element silicon, a hard and brittle crystalline solid that is the second most abundant element in the Earth's crust after oxygen. If you're at the beach and see shiny black specks in the sand, that's silicon.

Hope this helps!

Investigations allow for the control of variables

Sloan [31]

I believe that the statement is true. <span>Investigations allow for the control of variables. Changing variables will lead you to observations that may prove your hypothesis. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Please feel free to ask more questions.</span>

Assume a satellite shines an unpolarized light on a telescope. The intensity of the light as it reaches the telescope is 1.1*10-

n200080 [17]

Answer:

$4.125\times 10^{-11}\ W/m^2$

Explanation:

$I_0$ = Intensity of unpolarized light = $1.1\times 10^{-10}\ W/m^2$

$\theta$ = Angle of the filter = $30^{\circ}$

Intensity of light is given by

$I=\dfrac{I_0}{2}cos^2\theta\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{1.1\times 10^{-10}}{2}cos^230\\\Rightarrow I=4.125\times 10^{-11}\ W/m^2$

The intensity of light detected by the camera is $4.125\times 10^{-11}\ W/m^2$
