(a) According to Hooke's Law, the force required to hold any spring stretched x meters beyond its natural length is f(x)=kx. Sup

pose a spring has a natural length of 20 cm. If a 25-N force is required to keep it stretched to a length of 30 cm, how much work is required to stretch it from 20 cm to 25 cm?

Answer:

a) The work required to stretch the spring from 20 centimeters to 25 centimeters is 0.313 joules, b) The area of the region enclosed by one loop of the curve r(\theta) = 2\cdot \sin 5\theta is 4\pi.

Explanation:

a) The work, measured in joules, is a physical variable represented by the following integral:

W = \int\limits^{x_{f}}_{x_{o}} {F(x)} \, dx

Where

x_{o}, x_{f} - Initial and final position, respectively, measured in meters.

F(x) - Force as a function of position, measured in newtons.

Given that F = k\cdot x and the fact that F = 25\,N when x = 0.3\,m - 0.2\,m, the spring constant (k), measured in newtons per meter, is:

k = \frac{F}{x}

k = \frac{25\,N}{0.3\,m-0.2\,m}

k = 250\,\frac{N}{m}

Now, the work function is obtained:

W = \left(250\,\frac{N}{m} \right)\int\limits^{0.05\,m}_{0\,m} {x} \, dx

W = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(250\,\frac{N}{m} \right)\cdot [(0.05\,m)^{2}-(0.00\,m)^{2}]

W = 0.313\,J

The work required to stretch the spring from 20 centimeters to 25 centimeters is 0.313 joules.

b) Let be r(\theta) = 2\cdot \sin 5\theta. The area of the region enclosed by one loop of the curve is given by the following integral:

A = \int\limits^{2\pi}_0 {[r(\theta)]^{2}} \, d\theta

A = 4\int\limits^{2\pi}_{0} {\sin^{2}5\theta} \, d\theta

By using trigonometrical identities, the integral is further simplified:

A = 4\int\limits^{2\pi}_{0} {\frac{1-\cos 10\theta}{2} } \, d\theta

A = 2 \int\limits^{2\pi}_{0} {(1-\cos 10\theta)} \, d\theta

A = 2\int\limits^{2\pi}_{0}\, d\theta - 2\int\limits^{2\pi}_{0} {\cos10\theta} \, d\theta

A = 2\cdot (2\pi - 0) - \frac{1}{5}\cdot (\sin 20\pi-\sin 0)

A = 4\pi

The area of the region enclosed by one loop of the curve r(\theta) = 2\cdot \sin 5\theta is 4\pi.

For a particular reaction, the change in enthalpy is 51kJmole and the activation energy is 109kJmole. Which of the following cou
Ronch [10]

Answer

given,

change in enthalpy = 51 kJ/mole

change in activation energy = 109 kJ/mole

when a reaction is catalysed change in enthalpy between the product and the reactant does not change it remain constant.

where as activation energy of the product and the reactant decreases.

example:

ΔH = 51 kJ/mole

E_a= 83 kJ/mole

here activation energy decrease whereas change in enthalpy remains same.

A 1.11 kg piece of aluminum at 78.3 c is put into a glass with 0.210 kg of water at 15.0
ValentinkaMS [17]

M = mass of aluminium = 1.11 kg

c_{a} = specific heat of aluminium = 900

T_{ai} = initial temperature of aluminium = 78.3 c

m = mass of water = 0.210 kg

c_{w} = specific heat of water = 4186

T_{wi} = initial temperature of water = 15 c

T = final equilibrium temperature = ?

using conservation of heat

Heat lost by aluminium = heat gained by water

M c_{a} (T_{ai} - T) = m c_{w} (T - T_{wi} )

(1.11) (900) (78.3 - T) = (0.210) (4186) (T - 15)

T = 48.7 c

What objects do balanced forces act on?
leva [86]

Answer: Stationary or constant velocity

Explanation:

Objects with balanced forces acting on them experience no change in motion, or no acceleration. So these objects could either be stationary at rest or have a constant velocity. These include a hanging object, a floating object, an object on a table that doesn't move, and a car moving at a constant 10 mph
