Answer:

40 N/m

Explanation:

F = -kx (This is the Hooke's Law equation)

F is the force the spring exerts = 8 N

-k = spring constant

x = displacement (The distance stretched past it's natural length) = 20cm

x needs to be in meters, and 20 cm is = to 0.2 meters

Finally:

8N = -k (0.2m)

-k = 8N / 0.2 m

k = -40 N/m

If you wish to warm 100 kg of water by 20°C for your bath, how much heat is required? (Give your answer in calories and joules.)

taurus [48]

Q = mcθ

Where m = mass of water in kg.
c = specific heat capacity in kJ/kg⁰C, c for water = 4200 kJ/kg⁰C
θ = temperature rise in ⁰C

Q = 100*4200* 20 Note here the temperature rise is 20 ⁰C
Q = 8 400 000 J

In calories, 4.2 J = 1 Calorie
= 8 400 000 / 4.2 = 200 000

Q = 200 000 Calories

When a 70 kg man sits on the stool, by what percent does the length of the legs decrease? Assume, for simplicity, that the stool

allochka39001 [22]

The diameter of one leg of the stool is missing and it's 2cm.

Answer:

(ΔL/L) = 0.00729%

Explanation:

If the Weight of the man is W, the weight will be distributed equally on the 3 legs and so the reactions for each leg will be W/3 or F/3.

Now, Youngs modulus(Y) of douglas fir wood is about 1.3 x 10^(10) N/m^2. Gotten from youngs modulus of common materials.

Now, weight of man is 70kg.

Now diameter of one leg is 2cm.so radius of one leg = 2/2 = 1cm = 1 x 10^(-2)m

Area for one leg is; π( 1 x 10^(-2)m)^2 = 3.14 x 10^(-4)m

Now as stated earlier, the force on one leg is; F/3.

Now F = mg = 70 x 9.81 = 686.7N

So, force on one leg = 686.7/3 = 228. 9N

Now we know youngs modulus(Y) = Stress/Strain.

Stress = F/A while Strain = ΔL/L

Therefore Y = (F/A) / (ΔL/L)

And therefore, (ΔL/L) = F/(AY)

So (ΔL/L) = 228.9/(3.14 x 10^(-4))x(1.3 x 10^(10)) = 7. 29 x 10^(-5)

When expressed in percentage, it becomes 0.00729%

When vibrational motion in an object increases, which is a true statement?

ss7ja [257]

Hello friend!!

We know that kinetic energy is the energy possessed due to the motion of the object. And we know if the object is in a fast motion then the temperature would be high, whereas if the object is slow in motion then it will have lower temperature. So we know that the kinetic energy is indirectly related to temperature.From our knowledge we can conclude that HIGHER THE TEMPERATURE, HIGHER THE KINETIC ENERGY and LOWER THE TEMPERATURE, LOWER THE KINETIC ENERGY.
Hence, the answer to your question here is,a.kinetic energy, temperature, and thermal energy increase.
Hope it helps!!All the best!!

What role does Nitrogen play for all living organisms?

Y_Kistochka [10]

It is an important part of many cells and processes such as amino acids, proteins and even our DNA. It is also needed to make chlorophyll in plants, which is used in photosynthesis to make their food.

Hope this helps! ;)
