Mass and chemical composition
Answer:
The spring is compressed by 0.275 meters.
Explanation:
For equilibrium of the gas and the piston the pressure exerted by the gas on the piston should be equal to the sum of weight of the piston and the force the spring exerts on the piston
Mathematically we can write
we know that
Now the force exerted by an spring compressed by a distance 'x' is given by 
Using the above quatities in the above relation we get
Answer:
The amount of energy transferred to the water is 4.214 J
Explanation:
The given parameters are;
The mass of the object that drops = 5 kg
The height from which it drops = 86 mm (0.086 m)
The potential energy P.E. is given by the following formula
P.E = m·g·h
Where;
m = The mass of the object = 5 kg
g = The acceleration de to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
h = The height from which the object is dropped = 0.086 m
Therefore;
P.E. = 5 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 0.086 m = 4.214 J
Given that the potential energy is converted into heat energy, that raises the 1 g of water by 1°C, we have;
The amount of energy transferred to the water = The potential energy, P.E. = 4.214 J.
