Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of the friend, W = 600 N

When the friend sits on the metal frame it bends downward 4 cm, we can say that the compression in the it is 4 cm or 0.04 m

To find,

Spring constant for this chair or k

Solve :

The weight of an object is equal to the force exerted by the gravitational force, F = 600 N

According to Hooke's law, the force exerted by the spring is given by :

F = kx

k is the spring constant

k=\dfrac{F}{x}

k=\dfrac{600\ N}{0.04\ m}

k = 15000 N/m

Therefore, the spring constant of the spring is 15000 N/m.

What is the energy range (in joules) of photons of wavelength 410 nm to 750 nm ? Express your answers using two significant figu
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

4.9 x 10^-19 J, 2.7 x 10^-19 J

Explanation:

first wavelength, λ1 = 410 nm = 410 x 10^-9 m

Second wavelength, λ2 = 750 nm = 750 x 10^-9 m

The relation between the energy and the wavelength is given by

E = h c / λ

Where, h is the Plank's constant and c be the velocity of light.

h = 6.63 x 10^-34 Js

c = 3 x 10^8 m/s

So, energy correspond to first wavelength

E1 = (6.63 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8) / (410 x 10^-9) = 4.85 x 10^-19 J

E1 = 4.9 x 10^-19 J

So, energy correspond to second wavelength

E2 = (6.63 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8) / (750 x 10^-9) = 2.652 x 10^-19 J

E2 = 2.7 x 10^-19 J

Which of the following statements about comets is true? A. Comets rarely fall into an orbit around the Sun. They usually enter t
GREYUIT [131]
<h2>Right answer: Comets have very elliptical orbits that usually take them far beyond the orbit of Pluto, but also take them closer to the Sun than Earth</h2>

Comets are celestial bodies constituted by ice, dust and rocks that orbit around the Sun, after having been altered by the Oort cloud; following different trajectories that can be <u>highly eccentric elliptical</u><u> </u>(periodic trajectories), parabolic or hyperbolic.

One of the main characteristics of a comet is that it travels quite fast, on its way around the Sun and has a long tail. It should be noted that the tails of comets always go in the opposite direction to the Sun (due to the radiation pressure of sunlight).

Therefore, the correct option is C.
