<h3>Answer:</h3>

12250 J

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<em>elastic potential energy = 0.5 × spring constant × (extension)2</em>

spring constant = 500

extension = 7cm

7^2=49

0.5 × 500 × 49 = 12250 J or 12.25kJ

An air bubble at the bottom of a lake 36.0 m deep has a volume of 1.22 cm^3. If the temperature at the bottom is 5.9°C and at th

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

volume of the bubble just before it reaches the surface is 5.71 cm³

Explanation:

given data

depth h = 36 m

volume v2 = 1.22 cm³ = 1.22 × $10^{-6}$ m³

temperature bottom t2 = 5.9°C = 278.9 K

temperature top t1 = 16.0°C = 289 K

to find out

what is the volume of the bubble just before it reaches the surface

solution

we know at top atmospheric pressure is about P1 = $10^{5}$ Pa

so pressure at bottom P2 = pressure at top + ρ×g×h

here ρ is density and h is height and g is 9.8 m/s²

pressure at bottom P2 = $10^{5}$ + 1000 × 9.8 ×36

pressure at bottom P2 =4.52 × $10^{5}$ Pa

so from gas law

$\frac{P1*V1}{t1} = \frac{P2*V2}{t2}$

here p is pressure and v is volume and t is temperature

so put here value and find v1

$\frac{10^{5}*V1}{289} = \frac{4.52*10^{5}*1.22}{278.9}$

V1 = 5.71 cm³

volume of the bubble just before it reaches the surface is 5.71 cm³

Calculate ine gravitational potential energy of the ball using pe=m×g×h.(use g=9.8 n/kg)

Neko [114]

Answer:

58.8J

Explanation:

Given parameters;

Mass of ball = 4kg

Height above the floor = 1.5m

g = 9.8n/kg

Unknown:

Potential energy = ?

Solution:

The potential energy of a body is the energy due to the position of the body.

It is mathematically expressed as:

Potential energy = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height

Potential energy = 4 x 9.8 x 1.5 = 58.8J

Explain why it is easier to climb a mountain on a zigzag path rather than one straight up the side.

GaryK [48]

Although a zig zag pattern going up a mountain means you walk further, the incline of the slope is a lot less so you don't have to work as hard.

A specimen of steel has a rectangular cross section 20 mm wide and 40 mm thick, an elastic modulus of 207 GPa, and a Poisson’s r

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

There's a decrease in width of 2.18 × 10^(-6) m

Explanation:

We are given;

Shear Modulus;E = 207 GPa = 207 × 10^(9) N/m²

Force;F = 60000 N.

Poisson’s ratio; υ =0.30

We are told width is 20 mm and thickness 40 mm.

Thus;

Area = 20 × 10^(-3) × 40 × 10^(-3)

Area = 8 × 10^(-4) m²

Now formula for shear modulus is;

E = σ/ε_z

Where σ is stress given by the formula Force(F)/Area(A)

While ε_z is longitudinal strain.

Thus;

E = (F/A)/ε_z

ε_z = (F/A)/E

ε_z = (60,000/(8 × 10^(-4)))/(207 × 10^(9))

ε_z = 3.62 × 10^(-4)

Now, formula for lateral strain is;

ε_x = - υ × ε_z

ε_x = -0.3 × 3.62 × 10^(-4)

ε_x = -1.09 × 10^(-4)

Now, change in width is given by;

Δw = w_o × ε_x

Where w_o is initial width = 20 × 10^(-3) m

So; Δw = 20 × 10^(-3) × -1.09 × 10^(-4)

Δw = -2.18 × 10^(-6) m

Negative means the width decreased.

So there's a decrease in width of 2.18 × 10^(-6) m

If a bar of copper is brought near a magnet, the copper bar will be

Alecsey [184]

It will be unaffected by the magnet because it has no magnetic field. If you were to maybe have electricity going through it is the only way it would have anything to do with the magnet.
