Solids have a definite lattice structure
sweet [91]3 years ago

The molecules of liquids and gases are quite apart that the attraction between them is quite weak compared to that of the solids. Hence, they only take the shape of their containers. On the other hand, solids have definite shape because of their well-structured lattice and that the molecules are closely packed together.

A 0.76-kg block is hung from and stretches a spring that is attached to the ceiling. A second block is attached to the first one
sergey [27]

Answer:

1.54 kg

Explanation:

mass of first block (m) = 0.76 kg

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s

what is the mass (m) of the second block

  • force = kx ⇒ mg = kx

        mg = kx

        where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, k is the  

        spring constant and x is the extension

        0.76 x 9.8 = kx

       7.5 = kx

        k = 7.5/x ... equation 1

  • when a second block is attached to the first one the amount of stretch triples (this means that extension (x) = 3x)

        therefore the new mass becomes m + 0.76 and the extension  

        becomes 3x

        with the new mass and extension, mg = kx now becomes

        (m+0.76)g = k(3x) ... equation 2

        Recall that k = 7.5/x from equation 1, substituting this value of k into      

        equation 2 we have

         (m+0.76)g =  \frac{7.5}{x} × (3x)

         (m+0.76)g =  7.5 × 3

          substituting the value of g = 9.8 m/s^{2}

         (m + 0.76) x 9.8 = 7.5 x 3

          m + 0.76 = 22.5 ÷ 9.8

          m + 0.76 = 2.3

          m = 2.3 - 0.76 = 1.54 kg
