A 0.76-kg block is hung from and stretches a spring that is attached to the ceiling. A second block is attached to the first one

, and the amount that the spring stretches from its unstretched length triples. What is the mass of the second block?

Answer:

1.54 kg

Explanation:

mass of first block (m) = 0.76 kg

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s

what is the mass (m) of the second block

  • force = kx ⇒ mg = kx

        mg = kx

        where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, k is the  

        spring constant and x is the extension

        0.76 x 9.8 = kx

       7.5 = kx

        k = 7.5/x ... equation 1

  • when a second block is attached to the first one the amount of stretch triples (this means that extension (x) = 3x)

        therefore the new mass becomes m + 0.76 and the extension  

        becomes 3x

        with the new mass and extension, mg = kx now becomes

        (m+0.76)g = k(3x) ... equation 2

        Recall that k = 7.5/x from equation 1, substituting this value of k into      

        equation 2 we have

         (m+0.76)g =  \frac{7.5}{x} × (3x)

         (m+0.76)g =  7.5 × 3

          substituting the value of g = 9.8 m/s^{2}

         (m + 0.76) x 9.8 = 7.5 x 3

          m + 0.76 = 22.5 ÷ 9.8

          m + 0.76 = 2.3

          m = 2.3 - 0.76 = 1.54 kg

Two coherent sources of radio waves, A and B, are 5.00 meters apart. Each source emits waves with wavelength 6.00 meters. Consid
Korolek [52]

Answer:

a

    z= 2.5 \ m

b

   z =  (1 \ m ,  4 \ m )

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     Their distance apart is  d =  5.00 \ m

      The  wavelength of each source wave \lambda =  6.0 \ m

Let the distance from source A  where the construct interference occurred be z

Generally the path difference for constructive interference is

              z - (d-z) =  m \lambda

Now given that we are considering just the straight line (i.e  points along the line connecting the two sources ) then the order of the maxima m =  0

  so

        z - (5-z) =  0

=>     2 z - 5 =  0

=>     z= 2.5 \ m

Generally the path difference for destructive  interference is

           |z-(d-z)| = (2m + 1)\frac{\lambda}{2}

=>         |2z - d |= (0 + 1)\frac{\lambda}{2}

=>        |2z - d| =\frac{\lambda}{2}

substituting values

          |2z - 5| =\frac{6}{2}

=>      z  =  \frac{5 \pm 3}{2}

So  

      z =  \frac{5 + 3}{2}

      z =  4\ m

and

      z =  \frac{ 5 -3 }{2}

=>   z =  1 \ m

=>    z =  (1 \ m ,  4 \ m )

A book, that has a mass of 0.5 grams, is pushed across a table with a force of 20 newtons. What is the acceleration of the book?
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

4\cdot 10^4 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is given by Newton's second law:

a=\frac{F}{m}

where

F is the net force applied on the object

m is the mass of the object

For the book in the problem, we have:

m=0.5 g =5\cdot 10^{-4} kg is the mass

F=20 N is the force applied

Substituting into the formula, we find the acceleration:

a=\frac{20 N}{5\cdot 10^{-4} kg}=4\cdot 10^4 m/s^2

A capacitor is charged to a potential difference of 3 volt it delivers 30% store energy to lamp what is the final potential diff
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

3.98V

Explanation:

Given

Pontential difference V as 3v

Energy delivered is 30%,

Recall that Enery E=1/2cv^2 from this E=V^2(since Current C is not provided we can assume a value 2)

So E=V^2

E=3^2=9

At full charge E=9,30%of 9,0.3*9=2.7 energy in capacitor is 9-2.7=6.3

But E=V^2

✓E=V

✓6.3=3.98V

Question 1 (1 point)
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Solid objects will deform when adequate loads are applied to them; if the material is elastic, the object will return to its initial shape and size after removal. This is in contrast to plasticity, in which the object fails to do so and instead remains in its deformed state.
