Answer:
a)1815Joules b) 185Joules
Explanation:
Hooke's law states that the extension of a material is directly proportional to the applied force provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded. Mathematically;
F = ke where;
F is the applied force
k is the elastic constant
e is the extension of the material
From the formula, k = F/e
F1/e1 = F2/e2
If a force of 60N causes an extension of 0.5m of the string from its equilibrium position, the elastic constant of the spring will be ;
k = 60/0.5
k = 120N/m
a) To get the work done in stretching the spring 5.5m from its position,
Work done by the spring = 1/2ke²
Given k = 120N/m, e = 5.5m
Work done = 1/2×120×5.5²
Work done = 60× 5.5²
Work done = 1815Joules
b) work done in compressing the spring 1.5m from its equilibrium position will be gotten using the same formula;
Work done = 1/2ke²
Work done =1/2× 120×1.5²
Works done = 60×1.5²
Work done = 135Joules
Answer:
B) The cosmic background radiation is expected to contain spectral lines of hydrogen and helium, and it does.
Explanation:
Concept:
Frequency- It is defined as the number of oscillations occur in one second.
Its SI unit is Hertz (Hz)
Given: Produced sound vibrations is 18,500 cycles in 0.75 seconds
∵ In 0.75 second, produced sound has oscillations = 18,500 cycles
∴ In 1.0 second, produced sound has oscillations = (18,500 ÷ 0.75) Hz
The frequency of the sound will be ≈ 24,667 Hz
From the study of the given graph, only the animals (c) Cats, (b) Moths and (a) Bats can hear the produced sound because their upper audible frequency range is greater than 24,667 Hz.
Answer:
As the concentration of a solute in a solution increases, the freezing point of the solution <u><em>decrease </em></u>and the vapor pressure of the solution <em><u>decrease </u></em>.
Explanation:
Depression in freezing point :
where,
=depression in freezing point =
= freezing point constant
m = molality ( moles per kg of solvent) of the solution
As we can see that from the formula that higher the molality of the solution is directly proportionate to the depression in freezing point which means that:
- If molality of the solution in high the depression in freezing point of the solution will be more.
- If molality of the solution in low the depression in freezing point of teh solution will be lower .
Relative lowering in vapor pressure of the solution is given by :
= Vapor pressure of pure solvent
= Vapor pressure of solution
= Mole fraction of solute
Vapor pressure of the solution is inversely proportional to the mole fraction of solute.
- Higher the concentration of solute more will the be solute's mole fraction and decrease in vapor pressure of the solution will be observed.
- lower the concentration of solute more will the be solute's mole fraction and increase in vapor pressure of the solution will be observed.
Water waves are an example of waves that involve a combination of both longitudinal and transverse motions. As a wave travels through the waver, the particles travel in clockwise circles. The radius of the circles decreases as the depth into the water increases.
