A spring scale hung from the ceiling stretches by 6.1 cm when a 2.0 kg mass is hung from it. The 2.0 kg mass is removed and repl

Hunter-Best [27]

The ideal spring equation is

   Stretch = K times Force .

This says that the stretch is directly proportional to the force.
In simple English, that means that if you double the force, then
you double the stretch, and if you multiply the force by π or
any other number, you multiply the stretch by the same number.

So you can always write a proportion for a spring:

   Stretch₁ / Force₁ = Stretch₂ / Force₂ .

Part A:

In Part-A of this question, the force is increased to (2.5 / 2.0) = 1.25 times .

So the stretch is also increased to 1.25 times .

   (1.25) x (6.1 cm) = 7.625 cm .

WHY is it so important to include units when expressing numbers?

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Without units, the results are unclear and it is hard to keep track of what each seperate measurement entails.

By what factor is the intensity of sound at a rock concert louder than that of a whisper when the two intensity levels are 120 d

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

The intensity of sound at rock concert is 10¹⁰ greater than that of a whisper.

Explanation:

The intensity of sound is given by;

$I(dB) = 10Log(\frac{I}{I_o} )$

where;

I is the intensity of the sound

I₀ is the threshold of sound intensity = 1 x 10⁻¹² W/m²

The intensity of sound at a rock concert

$120 = 10Log(\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}} )\\\\12 = Log(\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}} )\\\\\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}} = 10^{12}\\\\I = 1*10^{-12} *10^{12}\\\\I = 1*10^0\\\\I =1 \ W/m^2$

The intensity of sound of a whisper

$20 = 10Log(\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}} )\\\\2 = Log(\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}} )\\\\\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}} = 10^{2}\\\\I = 1*10^{-12} *10^{2}\\\\I = 1*10^{-10}\\\\I =10^{-10} \ W/m^2$

Thus, the intensity of sound at rock concert is 10¹⁰ greater than that of a whisper.

A figure skater skates across a rink of length 50 m in 12.1 seconds. a. What is the average speed of the skater? (2 points) b. I

melamori03 [73]

(a) The skater covers a distance of S=50 m in a time of t=12.1 s, so its average speed is the ratio between the distance covered and the time taken:
$v= \frac{S}{t}= \frac{50 m}{12.1 s}=4.13 m/s$

(b) The initial speed of the skater is
$v_i = 4 m/s$
while the final speed is
$v_f = 5.3 m/s$
and the time taken to accelerate to this velocity is t=2 s, so the acceleration of the skater is given by
$a= \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}= \frac{5.3 m/s-4.0 m/s}{2.0 s}=0.65 m/s^2$

(c) The initial speed of the skater is
$v_i = 13.0 m/s$
while the final speed is
$v_f=0$
since she comes to a stop. The distance covered is S=8 m, so we can use the following relationship to find the acceleration of the skater:
$2aS=v_f^2 -v_i^2$
from which we find
$a= \frac{-v_i^2}{2S}= \frac{-(13.0m/s)^2}{2 \cdot 8.0 m}=-10.6 m/s^2$
where the negative sign means it is a deceleration.

The metal ions in iron are held together by

Sidana [21]

Metals are giant structures of atoms held together by metallic bonds. “Giant” implies that large but variable numbers of Atoms are involved - depending on the size of the bits of metal. most metals are close packed - that is, they fit as many items as possible into the available volume.
