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

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

15 m/s^2 The first thing to calculate is the difference between the final and initial velocities. So 180 m/s - 120 m/s = 60 m/s So the plane changed velocity by a total of 60 m/s. Now divide that change in velocity by the amount of time taken to cause that change in velocity, giving 60 m/s / 4.0 s = 15.0 m/s^2 Since you only have 2 significaant figures, round the result to 2 significant figures giving 15 m/s^2

Problem 1: Spherical mirrorConsider a spherical mirror of radius 2 m, and rays which go parallel to the optic axis. What is thep
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

1) iii i= 1m, 2)  iii and iv, 3)  i = f₂ (L-f₁) / (L - (f₁ + f₂))

Explanation:

Problem 1

For this problem we use two equations the equations of the focal distance in mirrors

              f = r / 2

              f = 2/2

             f = 1 m

The builder's equation

           1 / f = 1 / o + 1 / i

Where f is the focal length, "o and i" are the distance to the object and the image respectively.

For a ray to arrive parallel to the surface it must come from infinity, whereby o = ∞ and 1 / o = 0

              1 / f = 0 + 1 / i

              i = f

              i = 1 m

The image is formed at the focal point

The correct answer is iii

Problem 2

For this problem we have two possibilities the lens is convergent or divergent, in both cases the back face (R₂) must be flat

Case 1 Flat lens - convex (convergent)

              R₂ = infinity

              R₁ > 0

Cas2 Flat-concave (divergent) lens

             R₂ = infinity

              R₁ <0

Why the correct answers are iii and iv

Problem 3

For a thick lens the rays parallel to the first surface fall in their focal length (f₁), this is the exit point for the second surface whereby the distance to the object is o = L –f₁, let's apply the constructor equation to this second surface

          1 / f₂ = 1 / (L-f₁) + 1 / i

          1 / i = 1 / f₂ - 1 / (L-f₁)

           1 / i = (L-f₁-f₂) / f₂ (L-f₁)

           i = f₂ (L-f₁) / (L - (f₁ + f₂))

This is the image of the rays that enter parallel to the first surface

Characteristics that a scientific measuring tool should have
bixtya [17]

Answer:

RELIBILITY - is the consistency of your measurement, or the degree to which an

instrument measures the same way each time it is used under the same condition with the

same subjects. In short, it is the repeatability of your measurement. A measure is considered

reliable if a person's score on the same test given twice is similar. It is important to

remember that reliability is not measured, it is estimated. A good instrument will produce

consistent scores. An instrument’s reliability is estimated using a correlation coefficient of

one type or another.

VALIDITY

VALIDITY - Validity is the extent to which a test measures what it claims to measure. It is

vital for a test to be valid in order for the results to be accurately applied and interpreted.

Validity isn’t determined by a single statistic, but by a body of research that demonstrates

the relationship between the test and the behavior it is intended to measure. There are three

types of validity: It is the strength of our conclusions, inferences or propositions. More

formally, Cook and Campbell (1979) define it as the "best available approximation to the

truth or falsity of a given inference, proposition or conclusion."

PRACTICIBILITY

PRACTICIBILITY - It should be feasible & usable. Quality of being usable in context to the

objective to be achieved.

USABILITY

USABILITY(practicality) ease in administration, scoring, interpretation and application, low

cost, proper mechanical make – up

MEASUREABILITY

MEASUREABILITY - It should measure the objective to be achieved.
