Answer:

2.06 N/m

Explanation:

The system makes 10.0 complete oscillations in 17.0 s. So, the frequency of the system is

f=\frac{10.0}{17.0 s}=0.59 Hz

The angular frequency of the system is given by

\omega = 2\pi f=2\pi (0.59 Hz)=3.71 rad/s

In a simple harmonic motion, the angular frequency is related to the mass and the spring constant by

\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

where

k is the spring constant

m is the mass

Here we know

\omega=3.71 rad/s\\m = 150 g = 0.150 kg

So we can solve the formula to find k:

k=\omega^2 m = (3.71 rad/s)^2 (0.150 kg)=2.06 N/m

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

U = – 0.12J

Explanation:

Given N = 10 turns, I = 5A, r = 5×10-²m

B^ = 0.05 T iˆ+ 0.3 T kˆ

Magnitude of the magnetic field vector B = √(0.05²+0.3²) = 0.304T

Area = πr² = π(5×10-²)² = 7.85×10-³m²

Magnetic moment μ = NIA

μ = 10×5×7.85×10-³ = 0.3925Am²

U = -μ•B = –0.3925×0.304 = –0.12J

The sign is negative because the magnetic moment is aligned with the magnetic field.

In the simplified version of Kepler's third law, P 2 = a3, the units of the orbital period P and the semimajor axis a of the ell
Orlov [11]

Answer:

The units of the orbital period P is <em>years </em> and the units of the semimajor axis a is <em>astronomical units</em>.

Explanation:

P² = a³ is the simplified version of Kepler's third law which governs the orbital motion of large bodies that orbit around a star. The orbit of each planet is an ellipse with the star at the focal point.

Therefore, if you square the year of each planet and divide it by the distance that it is from the star, you will get the same number for all the other planets.

Thus, the units of the orbital period P is <em>years </em> and the units of the semimajor axis a is <em>astronomical units</em>.

Explain why ice melts in a cup at room temperature, in terms of energy transfer and the second law of thermodynamics.
zlopas [31]

Answer:

The second law of thermodynamics describes the direction in which heat is transferred between systems, <u>heat is a form of energy</u> in transition.

This law says that heat or energy always flows spontaneously from the body or system with a higher temperature to a lower temperature system (from something hot to something cold, and not the other way around).

This is why if we leave an ice at room temperature it will eventually melt, because <u>the environment transferred energy to the ice</u> and caused its temperature to increase and thus to turn into a liquid form.

The second law can also be interpreted in terms of entropy, and tells us that entropy, which is often interpreted as a measure of disorder, always increases.

Light in air enter crown glass (n = 1.52) at an angle of 35 degrees. What is the refracted angle?
Dovator [93]

Answer:

22.17 degree

Explanation:

n = 1.52

Angle of incidence, i = 35 degree

Let the angle of refraction is r.

use the Snell's law

n = Sin i / Sin r

Sin r = Sin i / n = Sin 35 / 1 .52

Sin r = 0.37735

r = 22.17 degree

Thus, the ray is refracted at an angle of 22.17 degree.
