Answer:

Explanation:

Mass of ball Is m=96.1g=0.0961kg

Height above spring is 59.1cm

L=0.591m

Extension of the spring is 4.75403cm

e=0.0475403m

Then the distance the ball traveled is H=L+e

H=0.591+0.0475403

H=0.6385403m

Then, the potential energy of the ball is given as

P.E=mgh

P.E=0.0961×9.81×0.6385403

P.E=0.602J

From conservation of energy, energy cannot be created nor destroy but can be transferred from one form to another

Then, the P.E is transferred to the work done by the spring

Then, Work done by spring is given as

W=½ke²

W=P.E=½×k×0.0475403²

0.602=½×k×0.0475403²

k=0.602×2/0.0475403²

k=532.72N/m

The spring constant is 532.72 N/m

It is known that birds can detect the earth's magnetic field, but the mechanism of how they do this is not known. It has been su

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

$EMF = 5.01 \times 10^{-4} Volts$

Explanation:

Here we know that the EMF induced in this Field is given as

$EMF = vBL$

here B = perpendicular component of magnetic field

v = speed of the bird

L = length of the wings

now we have

$B = 5\times 10^{-5} sin40$

$v = 13 m/s$

$L = 1.2 m$

now we have

$EMF = (13)(3.21 \times 10^{-5})(1.2)$

$EMF = 5.01 \times 10^{-4} Volts$

How heavy is an object that displaces 400N of water in a pool?

julia-pushkina [17]

All we can say is that the object's volume is about 41 liters. That's the same as the volume of water displaced.

We can't say anything about the object's weight. There is no direct connection between the weight of the object and the weight of the water it displaces.

You are given a parallel plate capacitor that has plates of area 29 cm2 which are separated by 0.0100 mm of nylon (dielectric co

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

20.60 kV

Explanation:

Capacitance of parallel plates without dielectric between them is:

$C=\frac{\varepsilon_{0}A}{d}$

with d the distance between the plates, A the area of the plates and ε₀ the constant $8.85419\times10^{-12}\frac{C^{2}}{Nm^{2}}$ , so :

$C_0=\frac{(8.85419\times10^{-12})(0.0029)}{0.0100\times10^{-3}}=2.57\times10^{-9} F$

But the dielectric constant is defined as:

$k=\frac{C}{C_{0}}$

With C the effective capacitance (with the dielectric) and Co the original capacitance (without the dielectric). So, the new capacitance is:

$C=kC_0$

But capacitance is related with voltage by:

$C=\frac{Q}{V}$

with Q the charge and V the voltage, using the new capacitance and solving for V:

$kC_0=\frac{Q}{V}$

$V=\frac{Q}{kC_0}=\frac{0.18\times10{-3}}{(3.4)(2.57\times10^{-9})}=20599.68V=20.60 kV$

A sample of an ideal gas is in a tank of constant volume. The sample absorbs heat energy so that its temperature changes from 33

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

$\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}=2$ .

Explanation:

The average kinetic energy per molecule of a ideal gas is given by:

$\bar{K}=\frac{3k_{B}T}{2}$

Now, we know that $\bar{K} = (1/2)m\bar{v}^{2}$

Before the absorption we have:

$(1/2)m\bar{v_{1}}^{2}=\frac{3k_{B}T_{1}}{2}$ (1)

After the absorption,

$(1/2)m\bar{v_{2}}^{2}=\frac{3k_{B}T_{2}}{2}$ (2)

If we want the ratio of v2/v1, let's divide the equation (2) by the equation (1)

$\frac{v_{2}^{2}}{v_{1}^{2}}=\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}$

$\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}=\sqrt{\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}}$

$\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}=\sqrt{\frac{1340}{335}}$

$\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}=\sqrt{4}$

Therefore the ratio will be $\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}=2$

I hope it helps you!
