Answer:

L_{o}=0.1224m

Explanation:

Given data

Force F=2 N

Length L=17 cm = 0.17 m

Spring Constant k=42 N/m

To find

Relaxed length of the spring

Solution

From Hooke's Law we know that

F_{spring}=k_{s}|s|\\F_{spring}=k_{s}(L-L_{o})\\ 2N=(42N/m)(0.17m-L_{o})\\2=7.14-42L_{o}\\-42L_{o}=2-7.14\\42L_{o}=5.14\\L_{o}=(5.14/42)\\L_{o}=0.1224m

A solenoid of length 18 cm consists of closely spaced coils of wire wrapped tightly around a wooden core. The magnetic field str
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

B_2 = 1.71 mT

Explanation:

As we know that the magnetic field near the center of solenoid is given as

B = \frac{\mu_0 N i}{L}

now we know that initially the length of the solenoid is L = 18 cm and N number of turns are wounded on it

So the magnetic field at the center of the solenoid is 2 mT

now we pulled the coils apart and the length of solenoid is increased as L = 21 cm

so we have

\frac{B_1}{B_2} = \frac{L_2}{L_1}

now plug in all values in it

\frac{2.0 mT}{B_2} = \frac{21}{18}

B_2 = 1.71 mT

Different ____ of light through two separate mediums causes the bending of waves fronts associated with light rays.
Fittoniya [83]

Different speeds of light through two separate media ... and the difference in wavelength caused by the difference ... causes the bending of waves fronts associated with light rays.

AFTER the bend, since the light rays then travel in a different direction, we may also say that the 'velocity' has changed.

REY [17]

Each point along the track of one solar mass star represents the star's surface temperature and luminosity at one time.

<h3>What is the one-solar mass star?</h3>

A star having a mass equal to the mass of the Sun is called a one-solar mass star.

Its life track shows the luminous intensity as well as the surface temperature.

A shot-putter accelerates a 7.2 kg shot from rest to 17 m/s . what work did the shot-putter do on the ball?
garri49 [273]
<span>1.0x10^3 Joules The kinetic energy a body has is expressed as the equation E = 0.5 M V^2 where E = Energy M = Mass V = Velocity Since the shot was at rest, the initial energy is 0. Let's calculate the energy that the shot has while in motion E = 0.5 * 7.2 kg * (17 m/s)^2 E = 3.6 kg * 289 m^2/s^2 E = 1040.4 kg*m^2/s^2 E = 1040.4 J So the work performed on the shot was 1040.4 Joules. Rounding the result to 2 significant figures gives 1.0x10^3 Joules</span>

The time T in seconds for a pendulum of length L feet to make one swing is given by Upper T=2\pi \sqrt((L)/(36)). How long is a
Andreyy89

Answer:

3.6ft

Explanation:

Using= 2*π*sqrt(L/32)

To solve for L, first move 2*n over:

T/(2*π) = sqrt(L/32)

Next,eliminate the square root by squaring both sides

(T/(2*π))2 = L/32

or

T2/(4π2) = L/32

Lastly, multiply both sides by 32 to yield:

32T2/(4π2) = L

and simplify:

8T²/π²= L

Hence, L(T) = 8T²/π²

But T = 2.1

Pi= 3.14

8(2.1)²/3.14²

35.28/9.85

= 3.6feet
