Answer:

-2.63 Joules

2.63 Joules

Explanation:

x_i = Initial compression = 5.89 cm

x_f = Final compression = -15.4 cm

k = Spring constant = 260 Nm

Work done by a spring is given by

W=\frac{1}{2}k(x_i^2-x_f^2)\\\Rightarrow W=\frac{1}{2}260\times (0.0589^2-0.154^2)\\\Rightarrow W=-2.63\ J

Work done by the spring is -2.63 Joules.

Change in kinetic energy is given by

\Delta K=W_a+W_s

Here, it is assumed that change in kinetic energy is zero as velocity and amlitude are not mentioned.

So,

0=W_a+W_s\\\Rightarrow W_a=-W_s\\\Rightarrow W_a=--2.63\\\Rightarrow W_a=2.63\ J

The work done by the applied force is 2.63 Joules.

What type of energy is released when a firecracker explodes
Ludmilka [50]

-- Sound energy.  That's how you hear it explode.

-- Light energy.  That's how you see it in the sky.

-- Heat energy.  That's why you get burned if sparks fall on you.

-- Potential energy, as all the pieces fall to the ground.

These were all stored in it as chemical energy before it exploded.

An electron is confined in a harmonic oscillator potential well. What is the longest wavelength of light that the electron can a
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The longest wavelength of light is 209 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Spring constant = 74 N/m

Mass of electron m= 9.11\times10^{-31}\ kg

Speed of light c= 3\times10^{8}\ m/s

We need to calculate the frequency

Using formula of frequency

f =\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}

Where, k= spring constant

m = mass of the particle

Put the value into the formula

f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{74}{9.11\times10^{-31}}}

f=1.434\times10^{15}\ Hz

We need to calculate the longest wavelength that the electron  can absorb

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}

Where, c = speed of light

f = frequency

Put the value into the formula

\lambda =\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{1.434\times10^{15}}

\lambda=2.092\times10^{-7}\ m

\lambda=209\ nm

Hence, The longest wavelength of light is 209 nm.

The sound intensity of a certain type of food processor in normally distributed with standard deviation of 2.9 decibels. If the
Maru [420]

Answer: (48.41,\ 52.19)

Explanation:

The confidence interval for population mean is given by :-

\overline{x}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Given : Sample size : n=9

Sample mean : \ovreline{x}=50.3\text{ decibels}

Standard deviation : \sigma=2.9\text{ decibels }

Significance level : \alpha=1-0.95=0.05

Critical value : z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.025}=1.96

Now, the 95% confidence interval estimate of the (true, unknown) mean sound intensity of all food processors of this type :-

50.3\pm (1.96)\dfrac{2.9}{\sqrt{9}}\\\\\approx50.3\pm1.89\\\\=(50.3-1.89,\ 50.3+1.89)=(48.41,\ 52.19)

65. A length of wire is bent into a closed loop and a magnet is plunged into it, inducing a voltage and, consequently, a current
natulia [17]

Answer:

Resistance of the second wire is twice the first wire.

Explanation:

Let us first see the formula of resistance;

R = pxL/A

Here L is the lenght of the wire, A the area and p is the resistivity of wire.

As we are given that the length of second wire is double than that of the first wire, hence the resistance of second wire would be double.

Since we have two loop in second case, inducing double voltage but as resistance is doubled so the current would remain same according to ohms law

I = V/R
