Answer:

191.36 N/m

Explanation:

From the question,

The Potential Energy of the safe = Energy of the spring when it was compressed.

mgh = 1/2ke²............... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the safe, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height of the save above the heavy duty spring , k = spring constant, e = compression

Making k the subject of the equation,

k =2mgh/e²................ Equation 2

Given: m = 1100 kg, h = 2.4 mm = 0.0024 m, e = 0.52 m

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

k = 2(1100)(9.8)(0.0024)/0.52²

k = 51.744/0.2704

k = 191.36 N/m

Hence the spring constant of the heavy-duty spring = 191.36 N/m

An element emits a spectrum that____________.a)is evenly spaced.b)is the same as all other elements.c)is unique to that element.
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

c)is unique to that element

Explanation:

 The spectrum emitted by a element shows the internal electronic structure of that element.We know that all element is having different internal electronic structure that is why all element emits different spectrum.And the spacing between the spectrum is uneven .

Therefore the answer will be option C.

c)is unique to that element

A double-slit experiment yields an interference pattern due to the path length difference from light traveling through one slit
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Therefore the correct statement is B.

Explanation:

In the interference and diffraction phenomena, the natural wave of electromagnetic radiation must be taken into account, the wave front that advances towards the slit can be considered as when it reaches it behaves like a series of wave emitters, each slightly out of phase from the previous one, following the Huygens principle that states that each point is compiled as a source of secondary waves.

The sum of all these waves results in the diffraction curve of the slit that has the shape

      I = Io sin² θ /θ²

Where the angle is a function of the wavelength and the width of the slit.

From the above, the interference phenomenon can be treated as the sum of two diffraction phenomena displaced a distance equal to the separation of the slits (d)

Therefore the correct statement is B

A diver makes 1.0 revolutions on the way from a 9.2-m-high platform to the water. Assuming zero initial vertical velocity, find
____ [38]

Answer:

Average angular velocity ≈ 4.59 rad/s

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion,

H = ut + (1/2)t² ............................ equation 1.

Where H= height, u = initial velocity(m/s), g = acceleration due to gravity(m/s²), t = time(s)  u= 0 ∴ ut =0

H =(1/2)gt².................................... equation 2.

making t² the subject of the relation in equation 2,

∴ t² = 2H/g

Where H = 9.2 m, g= 9.8 m/s

∴ t² = ( 2×9.2)/9.8

t = √(2 × 9.2/9.8) = √(18.4/9.8)

 t = 1.37 s.

The average angular velocity = θ/t

Where θ = is the number of revolution that the diver makes, t  = time

           θ = 1 rev.

Since 1 rev = 2π (rad)

           t = 1.37 s

 Average angular velocity = 2π/t

π = 3.143

 Average angular velocity = (2×3.143)/1.37 = 6.286/1.37

   Average angular velocity ≈ 4.59 rad/s
