Answer:

The spring constant of this spring  is 200 N/m.

Explanation:

Given:

Original unstretched length of the spring (x₀) = 10 cm =0.10 m [1 cm =0.01 m]

Stretched length of the spring (x₁) = 18 cm = 0.18 cm

Force acting on the spring (F) = 16 N

Spring constant of the spring (k) = ?

First let us find the change in length of the spring or the elongation caused in the spring due to the applied force.

So, Change in length = Final length - Initial length

\Delta x = x_1-x_0=0.18-0.10=0.08\ m

Now, restoring force acting on the spring is directly related to its elongation or compression as:

F=k\Delta x

Rewriting in terms of 'k', we get:

k=\dfrac{F}{\Delta x}

Now, plug in the given values and solve for 'k'. This gives,

k=\frac{16\ N}{0.08\ m}\\\\k=200\ N/m

Therefore, the spring constant of this spring  is 200 N/m.

The launch speed of a projectile is three times the speed it has at its maximum height.what is the elevation angle at launch?
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Given: a projectile of initial launch velocity(V) and launch angle ∅ and no air resistance. At the maximum height, the projectile would have a zero contribution of speed from the vertical component(Vy) Therefore, if we say Vx=Vcos∅ is the only speed the projectile has at the instant of maximum height then we can replace Vx with 1/5V and write 1/5V=Vcos∅. Solving for the the launch angle ∅, gives Inverse Cos(1/5)=78.5 degrees.

What is the frequency of a monochromatic light used in a diffraction experiment that has a wavelength of 6.38 ✕ 10e-07 m?
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

f=4.70\times 10^{14}\ Hz

Explanation:

Given that,

The wavelength of light, \lambda=6.38\times 10^{-7}\ m

We need to find the frequency of the light. We know that,

c=f\lambda\\\\f=\dfrac{c}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{6.38\times 10^{-7}}\\\\f=4.70\times 10^{14}\ Hz

So, the required frequency of light is equal to 4.70\times 10^{14}\ Hz.
