Answer:

(a) The spring constant is 426N/m

(b) The mass is 5.65kg

Explanation:

(a) Energy stored in the spring (E) = 3.6J, extension (e) = 0.13m

E = 1/2Ke^2

3.6 = 1/2 × K × 0.13^2

K (spring constant) = 3.6×2/0.0169 = 426N/m

(b) F = Ke = 426 × 0.13 = 55.38N

Assuming the maximum acceleration (a) is 9.8m/s^2

Mass (m) = F/a = 55.38/9.8 = 5.65kg

the volume of a water tank is 5m×4m×2m. If the tank is half filled with water. calculate the pressure exerted at the bottom of t
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

10⁴ Pa

Explanation:

  • Volume = 5m * 4m * 2m

When the tank is half filled ,

  • Volume = 5m * 4m * 1m = 20m³

Also we know that ,

  • Density of water = 10³ kg/ m³

\longrightarrow Density = Mass/Volume

\longrightarrow 10³ kg/m³ = m/20m³

\longrightarrow m = 2 * 10⁴ kg

So that ,

\longrightarrow Weight = mg

\longrightarrow F = 2*10⁴ × 10 N

\longrightarrow F = 2 * 10⁵ N

And ,

\longrightarrow Pressure = Force/Area

\longrightarrow P = 2 *10⁵/ 5 * 4 Pa

\longrightarrow P = 10⁴ Pa

A 15.4 kg block is dragged over a rough, horizontal surface by a constant force of 182 N acting at an angle of 24◦ above the hor
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Explanation:

Considering Work done by friction is asked

Given

mass of block m=15.4\ kg

force F=182\ N

inclination \theta =24^{\circ}

block is displaced by s=57.6\ m

coefficient of kinetic friction \mu _k=0.135

Friction force F_r=\mu _kN

Normal reaction N=mg-F\sin \theta =15.4\times 9.8-182\sin (24)

N=76.9\ N

Friction Force F_r=0.135\times 76.9=10.38\ N

Work done by friction force

W=f_r\cdot s

W=10.38\times 57.6=597.92\ N

Two speakers in a stereo emit identical pure tones. As you move around in front of the speakers, you hear the sound alternating
BigorU [14]

Answer:

Interference

Explanation:

When two traveling waves traveling waves along the same path are superimposed(combine). The superimposition of these two waves results in the production of a resultant wave which is defined by the net effect of the two waves. Wave interference occurs most types of waves including radio wave, light, acoustic waves and other wave types. Alternating sound between loud and Zero is heard as the two speakers emit identical pure tones because the resultant amplitude after the interference of the two sound waves is the vector sum of each of their amplitudes. A loud sound is heard, when the crest of both waves meets each other and a zero is heard if the crest of one meets the trough of the other as they cancel out.

Monochromatic light with a wavelength of 384 nm passes through a single slit and falls on a screen 86 cm away. If the distance o
valkas [14]
This is a Fraunhofer single slit experiment, where the light passing through the slit produces an interference pattern on the screen, and where the dark bands (minima of diffraction) are located at a distance of
y= \frac{m\lambda D}{a}
from the center of the pattern. In the formula, m is the order of the minimum, \lambda the wavelenght, D the distance of the screen from the slit and a the width of the slit.

In our problem, the distance of the first-order band (m=1) is y=0.22 cm. The distance of the screen is D=86 cm while the wavelength is \lambda = 384 nm=384 \cdot 10^{-7}cm. Using these data and re-arranging the formula, we can find a, the width of the slit:
a= \frac{m \lambda D}{y}= \frac{1 \cdot 384 \cdot 10^{-7}cm \cdot 86 cm}{0.22 cm}=0.015 cm
