Describe what is inside a spring balance and explain how it works. ​

Physics

Answer:

The spring balance (also known as spring scale) is simply a spring fixed at one end with a hook to attach an object at the other. It works by Hooke's Law, which states that the force needed to extend a spring is proportional to the distance that spring is extended from its rest position.

HOW IT WORKS:

It consists of a spring fixed at one end with a hook to attach an object at the other. It works by Hooke's Law, which states that the force needed to extend a spring is proportional to the distance that spring is extended from its rest position. Therefore, the scale markings on the spring balance are equally spaced.

A 250 g block of ice is removed from the refrigerator at -8.0°C. How much thermal energy does the ice absorb as it warms to room
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Q = 114895 J

Explanation:

To find the thermal energy gained by the ice you use the following formula:

Q=mc(T_2-T_1)+H_f\ m

m: mass of the ice = 0.250kg

T2: final temperature = 22°C

T1: initial temperature = -8.0°C

Hf: heat of fusion of water = 3.34*10^5 J/kg

c: specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg

By replacing the values of the parameters you have:

Q=(0.250kg)(4186J/kg\°C)(22+8)\°C+(3.34*10^5 J/kg)(0.250kg)\\\\Q=114895\ J

where you have considered that ice melts completely

If the net work done on an object is zero, what can you determine about the object's kinetic energy?
jok3333 [9.3K]
The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: "The object's kinetic energy remains the same." If the net work done on an object is zero, you  determine about the object's kinetic energy is that The object's kinetic energy remains the same.

Which of the following describes the least amount of work being done? A. wind turning a windmill B. a batter hitting a baseball
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

a ball hanging from a tall pole

Explanation:

work is force times a distance in the direction of the force. The ball just hanging there has no motion, so is associated with no work. Work was probably done in the hanging process, but none after.

This physics problem is kinda complicated to my small brains...
Veronika [31]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf P.E. = 14700\ Joules}

Explanation:

This work done is in the form of Potential Energy so we'll use the formula of Potential Energy.

<u>Given Data:</u>

Mass = m = 250 kg

Acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m/s²

Height = h = 6 m

<u>Required:</u>

Work Done in the form of Potential Energy = P.E. = ?

<u>Formula:</u>

P.E. = mgh

<u>Solution:</u>

P.E. = (250)(9.8)(6)

P.E. = 14700 Joules

\rule[225]{225}{2}

Hope this helped!
