Fish are hung on a spring scale to determine their mass (most fishermen feel no obligation to report the mass truthfully). (a) W

bija089 [108]

Answer:

1411.8 N/m

Explanation:

From Hooke's law;

F= Ke

Where

F= force on the spring

K= force constant

e = extension

But e= 8.50 × 10^-2m

F= weight = 12.0 kg × 10 = 120 N

K = F/e = 120/8.50 × 10^-2

K= 1411.8 N/m

Two equal charges with magnitude Q and Q experience a force of 12.3442 when held at a distance r. What is the force between two

Pepsi [2]

Answer:197.504 N

Explanation:

Given

Two Charges with magnitude Q experience a force of 12.344 N

at distance r

and we know Electrostatic force is given

$F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}$

$F=\frac{kQ\cdot Q}{r^2}$

$F=\frac{kQ^2}{r^2}$

Now the magnitude of charge is 2Q and is at a distance of $\frac{r}{2}$

$F'=\frac{k2Q\cdot 2Q}{\frac{r^2}{2^2}}$

F'=16F

F'=197.504 N

The opening to a cave is a tall, 30.0-cm-wide crack. A bat is preparing to leave the cave emits a 30.0 kHz ultrasonic chirp. How

Vlada [557]

Answer:

The value is $w = 7.54 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the crack is $a = 0.3 \ m$

The frequency is $f = 30.0 \ kHz = 30 *10^{3} \ Hz$

The distance outside the cave that is being consider is $D = 100 \ m$

The speed of sound is $v_s = 340 \ m/s$

Generally the wavelength of the wave is mathematically represented as

$\lambda = \frac{v}f}$

=> $\lambda = \frac{340 }{30*10^{3}}$

=> $\lambda = 0.0113 \ m/s$

Generally for a single slit the path difference between the interference patterns of the sound wave and the center is mathematically represented as

$y = \frac{ n * \lambda * D}{a}$

=> $y = \frac{ 1 * 0.0113 * 100}{0.3}$

=> $y = 3.77 \ m$

Generally the width of the sound beam is mathematically represented as

$w = 2 * y$

=> $w = 2 * 3.77$

=> $w = 7.54 \ m$

aluminum has a density of 2.7 g/cm3. if a chuck of aluminum with a mass of 16 g is placed in a graduated cylinder partially fill

sweet-ann [11.9K]

When placing the piece of aluminium in water, the level of water will rise by an amount equal to the volume of the piece of aluminum.
Therefore, we need to find the volume of that piece.

Density can be calculated using the following rule:
Density = mass / volume
Therefore:
volume = mass / density
we are given that:
the density = 2.7 g / cm^3
the mass = 16 grams
Substitute in the equation to get the volume of the piece of aluminum as follows:
volume = 16 / 2.7 = 5.9259 cm^3

Since the water level will rise to an amount equal to the volume of aluminum, therefore, the water level will rise by 5.9259 cm^3
