Answer:

The spring constant is 60,000 N

The total work done on it during the compression is 3 J

Explanation:

Given;

weight of the girl, W = 600 N

compression of the spring, x = 1 cm = 0.01 m

To determine the spring constant, we apply hook's law;

F = kx

where;

F is applied force or weight on the spring

k is the spring constant

x is the compression of the spring

k = F / x

k = 600 / 0.01

k = 60,000 N

The total work done on the spring = elastic potential energy of the spring, U;

U = ¹/₂kx²

U = ¹/₂(60000)(0.01)²

U = 3 J

Thus, the total work done on it during the compression is 3 J

Answer:

See explanation below.

Explanation:

The internal energy (kinetic energy) of the milk particles increases thus warming the milk up, while the internal energy of the coffee particles reduce their initial average speed as they are imparting energy to the slow milk particles.

If we use 1 millimeter to represent 1 light-year, how large in diameter is the Milky Way Galaxy?
storchak [24]

Answer:

d.100 meters

Explanation:

The diameter of the Milky Way Galaxy is approximately 100,000 light years.

Here we are using 1 millimiter (1 mm) to represent 1 light-year (1 ly). So, we can set the following proportion:

1 mm : 1 ly = x : 100,000 ly

and by finding x, we find the diameter of the Milky Way Galaxy in the scale used:

x=\frac{(1mm )(100,000 ly)}{1 ly}=100,000 mm = 100 m

so the correct answer is

d. 100 meters

7. When initially-unpolarized light passes through three polarizing filters, each oriented at 45 degree angles from the precedin
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the intensity  of unpolarised light be I₀ . After passing through the first polarising filter , the intensity  is I₀ / 2 .

After second filter , the intensity  will be  I₀ / 2 x cos²45 =  I₀ / 4

After third filter , the intensity will be I₀ / 4  x cos²45 = I₀ / 8 .

So,

1 / 8 the of initial light passes through the last filter .

For both resonance curves and Fourier spectra, amplitude is plotted vs frequency, but these two types of plots are not the same.
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

he peaks are the natural frequencies that coincide with the excitation frequencies and in the second case they are the natural frequencies that make up the wave.

Explanation:

In a resonance experiment, the amplitude of the system is plotted as a function of the frequency, finding maximums for the values ​​where some natural frequency of the system coincides with the excitation frequency.

In a Fourier transform spectrum, the amplitude of the frequencies present is the signal, whereby each peak corresponds to a natural frequency of the system.

From this explanation we can see that in the first case the peaks are the natural frequencies that coincide with the excitation frequencies and in the second case they are the natural frequencies that make up the wave.
