Answer:
Explanation:
Spring has a tendency to store energy in them and deform its shape when force is applied on it. Once the applied force is removed it regains its original shape and size.
It is in helical shape and is used in mattress to give structure and support. Spring have elastic nature and follows spring forces, F = k * x
where is the applied force, k is the spring constant and x is the amount of extension.
When a heavier person sits on a mattress, more weight is applied on springs and they form coils, as weight is removed they regains its shape again.
Answer:
805.48N/m
Explanation:
According to Hookes law
F = Ke
F is the force = mg
F = 2.4×9.8 = 23.52N
e is the extension = 2.92cm = 0.0292m
Force constant K = F/e
K = 23.52/0.0292
K = 805.48N/m
Hence the force constant of the spring is 805.48N/m
Answer:
Speed of gamma rays = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
Explanation:
Given:
Frequency of gamma ray = 3 x 10¹⁹ Hz
Wavelength of gamma rays = 1 x 10⁻¹¹ meter
Find:
Speed of gamma rays
Computation:
Velocity = Frequency x wavelength
Speed of gamma rays = Frequency of gamma ray x Wavelength of gamma rays
Speed of gamma rays = [3 x 10¹⁹][1 x 10⁻¹¹]
Speed of gamma rays = 3 x [10¹⁹⁻¹¹]
Speed of gamma rays = 3 x [10⁸]
Speed of gamma rays = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
Answer:
A.
Explanation:
Geothermal energy is heat driven within the sub-surface of the earth. Water and/or steam carry the geothermal energy to the earth surface.
Answer:
Explanation:
A mass of 700 kg will exert a force of
700 x 9.8
= 6860 N.
Amount of compression x = 4 cm
= 4 x 10⁻² m
Force constant K = force of compression / compression
= 6860 / 4 x 10⁻²
= 1715 x 10² Nm⁻¹.
Let us take compression of r at any moment
Restoring force by spring
= k r
Force required to compress = kr
Let it is compressed by small length dr during which force will remain constant.
Work done
dW = Force x displacement
= -kr -dr
= kr dr
Work done to compress by length d
for it r ranges from 0 to -d
Integrating on both sides
W = 
= [ kr²/2]₀^-4
= 1/2 kX16X10⁻⁴
= .5 x 1715 x 10² x 16 x 10⁻⁴
= 137.20 J
