An ideal spring is hung vertically from the ceiling. The spring constant is k = 125 N/m. A block of mass m = 650 g (1000 g = 1 k

g) is then attached to the free end and block extends the spring under its weight until it stops moving. Calculate the maximum extension of the spring due to the block. (Hint: when the system comes to equilibrium, the net force on the block must be zer0.)

Answer:

0.102 m

Explanation:

k = spring constant of the spring = 125 N/m

m = mass of the block attached to the spring = 650 g = 0.650 kg

x = maximum extension of the spring

h = height dropped by the block = x

Using conservation of energy

Spring potential energy gained = Gravitational potential energy lost

(0.5) k x² = mgh

(0.5) k x² = mgx

(0.5) (125) x = (0.650) (9.8)

x = 0.102 m

marysya [2.9K]
I have a formula here that might just help you solve the problem on your own:

The number of images depends on the angle between the two mirrors. The number of images formed in two plane mirrors inclined at an angle A to each other is given by the formula:

Number of images = 360<span>/A - 1.

A mass of 0.450 kg rotates at constant speed with a period of 1.45 s at a radius R of 0.140 m in the apparatus used in this labo
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

1.603 s

Explanation:

Given that

Initial mass, = 0.45 kg

Initial period, = 1.45 s

Initial radius, = 0.14 m

Final mass, = 0.55 kg

Final period, = ?

Final radios, = 0.14 m

Since we are finding the rotation period of two masses of same radius, we can assume that the outward force is the same in both cases. This means that

m₁r₁ω₁² = m₂r₂ω2²

Where, ω = 2π/T, on substituting, we have

0.45 * 0.14 * (2π / 1.45)² = 0.550 * 0.14 * (2π / T₂)²

0.45 / 1.45² = 0.550 / T₂²

T₂² = 0.550 * 1.45² / 0.45

T₂² = 2.56972

T₂ = √2.56972

T₂ = 1.603 sec

An atom's emission of light with a specific amount of energy confirms that
kompoz [17]

Answer:

An atom’s emission of light with a specific amount of energy confirms that electrons emit and absorb energy based on their position around the nucleus. The light emitted from an electron is a result of the electron's quantum jumps/leaps ( atomic electron transitions ) to and from different energy levels.

What is "lake-effect" and how does it make snow storms worse
son4ous [18]
Is produced during cooler atmospheric conditions when a cold air mass moves across long expanses of warmer lake water. The lower layer of air, heated up by the lake water, picks up water vapor from the lake and rises up through the colder air above; the vapor then freezes and is deposited on the leeward (downwind) shores.[1]

The same effect also occurs over bodies of salt water, when it is termed ocean-effect or bay-effect snow. The effect is enhanced when the moving air mass is uplifted by the orographic influence of higher elevations on the downwind shores. This uplifting can produce narrow but very intense bands of precipitation, which deposit at a rate of many inches of snow each hour, often resulting in a large amount of total snowfall.

The areas affected by lake-effect snow are called snowbelts. These include areas east of the Great Lakes, the west coasts of northern Japan, the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia, and areas near the Great Salt Lake, Black Sea, Caspian Sea, Baltic Sea, Adriatic Sea, and North Sea.
