Well first you need to know the formula for the spring force. It’s -1/2k*d

K being the constant

D being the displacement

We can actually find the force on the spring by calculating the weight of the block. It would be mass multiplied by gravity, convert the grams to kilograms first tho.

600/1000 = 0.6kg

0.6kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 5.88N

Now plug everything into the equation, also convert the centimeters to meters:

1.2/100 = 0.012 meters

5.88 = -1/2k*(0.012)

5.88 = k*(0.006)

We could drop the negative sign because we really just want the magnitude of the spring constant.

K = 980N

State how heat loss by radiation is minimized in a thermos flask

Verdich [7]

Thermos bottles are equipped with the parts that can prevent the hot water from cooling down by the three ways: Supporting the inner container by a few heat-insulating supporters to minimize the heat loss through heat conduction, using a vacuum space between the outer and the inner vessels to eliminate the heat loss by the air convection, and giving a high reflectivity to the inner surface of the outer vessel and the whole surface of the inner container to reduce the heat loss due to the radiation cooling.

Consider an isolated system, by which we mean a system free of external forces. If the sum of the particle energies in the syste

Airida [17]

Answer:

The system's potential energy is -147 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Energy = 147 J

We know that,

System is isolated and it is free from external forces.

So, the work done by the external forces on the system should be equal to zero.

$W=0$

We need to calculate the system's potential energy

Using thermodynamics first equation

$\Delta U=W-\Delta E$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta U=0-147$

$\Delta U=-147\ J$

Hence, The system's potential energy is -147 J.

If an equation is dimensionally correct is thar equation a right equation<br>

Nady [450]

If an equation is dimensionally correct, it does not mean that the equation must be true. On the other hand, when the equation is dimensionally correct, the equation cannot be true. Dimensional analysis is a technique used to check whether a relationship is correct

What is the car's speed at the bottom of the dip?The passengers in a roller coaster car feel 50% heavier thantheir true weight a

Rashid [163]

Answer:

v = 14 m/s

Explanation:

given,

radius of dip = 40 m

The passengers in a roller coaster car feel 50% heavier than their true weight.

Apparent weight

$A = W + \dfrac{W}{2}$

$A =\dfrac{3W}{2}$

$A =\dfrac{3mg}{2}$

When the car is at the bottom, the weight will be acting downwards and the centripetal force will also be acting downward where as Normal force which is apparent weight will be acting in upward direction.

now,

$N = m g + \dfrac{mv^2}{r}$
