What is the best approximate value for the elastic potential energy (EPE) of the spring elongated by 3.0 meters?

Physics

DIA [1.3K]3 years ago

The elastic potential energy of the spring is 6.8 J

Explanation:

The elastic potential energy of a compressed/stretched spring is given by the equation:

E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

where

k is the spring constant

x is the elongation of the spring

The spring constant of the spring in this problem can be found by keeping in mind the relationship between force (F) and elongation (x) (Hooke's law):

F=kx

By looking at the graph and comparing it with the formula, we realize that the slope of the force-elongation graph corresponds to the spring constant. Therefore in this case,

k=\frac{15.0-0}{10.0-0}=1.5 N/m

Therefore when the spring has a elongation of x=3.0 m, its potential energy is

E=\frac{1}{2}(1.5)(3.0)^2=6.8 J

A body weighing 108N moves with seed of 5ms–¹ in a horizontal circular path of radius 5m. Calculate the magnitude of the centrip
uysha [10]

Hi there!

Recall the equation for centripetal force;

\boxed{F_c = \frac{mv^2}{r}}

m = mass (kg)

v = velocity (m/s)

r = radius (m)

We are not given the mass directly, we are given the object's weight.

W = mg

108 = 10m \\\\m = 10.8 kg

Now, we can plug this value along with the given velocity and radius to solve:

F_c = \frac{10.8(5^2)}{5} = \boxed{54N}

Compute the specific heat capacity at constant volume of nitrogen (N2) gas. The molar mass of N2 is 28.0 g/mol.
jekas [21]

Answer:

724.3J/Kg.K

Explanation:

CHECK THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW

Compute the specific heat capacity at constant volume of nitrogen (N2) gas.and compare with specific heat of liquid water. The molar mass of N2 is 28.0 g/mol.

The specific heat capacity can be computed by using expression below

c= CV/M

Where c= specific heat capacity

M= molar mass

CV= molar hear capacity

Nitrogen is a diatomic element, the Cv can be related to gas constant with 5/2R

Where R= 8.314J/mol.k

Molar mass= 28 ×10^-3Kg/mol

If we substitute to the expression, we have

c= (5R/2)/(M)

=5R/2 × 1/M

=(5×8.314) /(2×28 ×10^-3)

=724.3J/Kg.K

Hence, the specific heat capacity at constant volume of nitrogen (N2) gas is

724.3J/Kg.K

The specific heat of liquid water is about 4182 J/(K kg) which is among substance with high specific heat, therefore specific heat of Nitrogen gas is 724.3J/Kg.K which is low compare to that of liquid water.

The general electron configuration for atoms of the halogen group is
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

ns^2np^5

Explanation:

Halogen group:This group contains Cl,F,Br and I

There are 7 electrons in the outermost shell of each element of halogen family.

Each element of this family required one electron to fill their complete outermost shell.

We know that

F=9=1s^22s^22p^5

Cl=17=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5

Therefore, the general configuration for atoms of the halogen group is given by

ns^2np^5

What will happen to the period of a ball-on-a-spring if the ball is replaced by a smaller one with half the mass
Murrr4er [49]

When the ball on a spring is replaced by a smaller ball with half the mass :  The period decrease by 29%

<h3>Calculate the Period </h3>

We will apply the formula below to calculate period

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k } }

 where :

T₁ / T₂ = \sqrt{\frac{m_{1} }{m_{2} } }    where m₂ = m₁ / 2

Therefore :

T₂ = \frac{T_{1} }{\sqrt{2} }   = 0.71 T

Hence we can conclude that the period will decrease by 29% ( i.e 100 - 71 ).
