First, we should understand the spring constant. Different springs may have different spring constants. A spring constant tells us that how much force is needed to bring a 1-centimeter stretch in a particular spring. Here the force applied is 16 N and the change in length is 8 cm.(18-10). Now we divide 16 by 8 and we get 2. So 2 N force is required here to bring a 1 cm stretch in this specific spring. So, the answer is A. 2.0 N/cm.

If 500 J of energy were added to 1 kg of each of these samples, which would experience the LEAST temperature increase? aluminum,
yan [13]

The specific heat capacities of different metals determine the amount of heat required to raise their temperature by 1K. The metals provided have the following heat capacities.

Aluminium-921

Brass-401

copper-376

Platinum-125

The higher the heat capacity, the more the energy required to raise the temperature. Therefore, aluminium has the least temperature increase.

The equation r (t )=(2t + 4)⋅i + (√ 7 )t⋅ j + 3t ²⋅k the position of a particle in space at time t. Find the angle between the v
velikii [3]

Answer:

\theta = n\pi/2, {\rm where~n~is~an~integer.}

Explanation:

We should first find the velocity and acceleration functions. The velocity function is the derivative of the position function with respect to time, and the acceleration function is the derivative of the velocity function with respect to time.

\vec{v}(t) = \frac{d\vec{r}(t)}{dt} = (2)\^i + (\sqrt{7})\^j + (6t)\^k

Similarly,

\vec{a}(t) = \frac{d\vec{v}(t)}{dt} = (6)\^k

Now, the angle between velocity and acceleration vectors can be found.

The angle between any two vectors can be found by scalar product of them:

\vec{A}.\vec{B} = |\vec{A}|.|\vec{B}|.\cos(\theta)

So,

\vec{v}(t).\vec{a}(t) = |\vec{v}(t)|.|\vec{a}(t)|.\cos(\theta)\\36t = \sqrt{4 + 7 + 36t^2}.6.\cos(\theta)

At time t = 0, this equation becomes

0 = 6\sqrt{11}\cos(\theta)\\\cos(\theta) = 0\\\theta = n\pi/2, {\rm where~n~is~an~integer.}

The orbital radius of an electron in a hydrogen atom is 0.846 nm. What is its de Broglie wavelength?
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

The  value  is  \lambda   = 1.329 *10^{-9} \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  orbital radius is  r =  0.846nm =  0.846 *10^{-9} \ m

Generally the de Broglie wavelength is mathematically represented as

      \lambda  =  \frac{2 *  \pi  r}{4}

substituting values

     \lambda  =  \frac{ 2 * 3.142  *  0.846 *10^{-9}}{4}

    \lambda   = 1.329 *10^{-9} \  m
