Answer:

W = 55.12 J

Explanation:

Given,

Natural length = 6 in

Force = 4 lb,  stretched length = 8.4 in

We know,

F = k x

k is spring constant

4 = k (8.4-6)

k = 1.67 lb/in

Work done to stretch the spring to 10.1 in.

W =k\int_{6}^{10.1} x

W = \dfrac{k}{2}[x^2]_6^{10.1}

W = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.67\times (10.1^2-6.0^2)

W = 55.12 J

Work done in stretching spring from 6 in to 10.1 in is equal to 55.12 J.

What is the charge on 1.0 kg of protons? (e = 1.60 × 10-19 c, mproton = 1.67 × 10-27 kg)?
Andru [333]
First, we need to find the number of protons, which is the total mass divided by the mass of one proton:
N= \frac{m}{m_p}= \frac{1.0 kg}{1.67 \cdot 10^{-27} kg}=6.0 \cdot 10^{26} protons

Then, the total charge is the number of protons times the charge of a  single proton:
Q=Ne = 6.0 \cdot 10^{26}\cdot 1.60 \cdot 10^{-19} C=9.6 \cdot 10^7 C

The arrows in the chart below represent phase transitions.
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

1, 2, and 3.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this process, since the phase transitions that require energy are those that pass from a state with less energy or more molecular order to a state with more energy or less molecular order, say, from solid to liquid (melting), from liquid to gas (boiling) and from solid to gas (sublimation), we can conclude that the arrows representing heat energy gained are 1, 2, and 3 since 1 represents boiling, 2 melting and 3 sublimation.

Best regards.

How can a force change the motion of an object that is already moving?
lara [203]

Answer:They may cause motion to change

Explanation:They may cause motion; they may also slow, stop, or change the direction of motion of an object that is already moving. Since force cause changes in the speed or direction of an object, we can say that forces cause changes in velocity. Remember that acceleration is a change in velocity.

Peak wavelength of light coming from a star with a temp of 4300k
PSYCHO15rus [73]

from Wein's law

\frac{k}{ \lambda_{max} }  = T \\ \lambda_{max} =  \frac{k}{T}  \\ \lambda_{max} =  \frac{3.898 \times  {10}^{ - 3} }{4300}   \\  = 9.065 \times  {10}^{ - 7}
