Answer:

k = 40 N/m

Explanation:

A spring's energy is given:

U = 0.5kx^2

U is the energy in the spring, k is the spring constant and x is the spring displacement.

We are told that the spring stores 5J of energy, therefore, U = 5J. We are also told that the spring is compressed by 0.5m, so the spring x = 0.5m

5 J = 0.5k(0.5m)^2\\5J = 0.5k(0.25m^2)\\5J = k*(0.125)m^2\\\\k = 5J/(0.125)m^2\\k = 40 N/m

k = 40 N/m

Hope this helps!

A potato and raisins salad has been warmed up to a temperature of 80∘C80∘C and let it stand for three minutes. Then one tries a
barxatty [35]

Answer : The correct option is, (a) No. Potatoes will be warmer.

Explanation :

Formula used :

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T

where,

Q = heat taken

m = mass of substance

c = specific heat of substance = ?

\Delta T = change in temperature

As we are given that the potatoes have a specific heat of 3430J/(kg^oC) and raisins have a specific heat of 1630J/(kg^oC). That means higher the value of specific heat the more heat taken by the substance (more warmer will be the substance). So, the potatoes will be more warmer as compared to raisins.

Hence, the correct option is, (a) No. Potatoes will be warmer.
