A spring is used to launch a coffee mug. The 20cm long spring can be compressed by a maximum of 8cm. The mug has a mass of 500 g

. What kind of spring do you need to launch the mug at least 2 stories high (5 m) - as measured from the relaxed spring position - using the maximum compression?

Answer:

7664.06249 N/m

Explanation:

m = Mass of mug = 0.5 kg

x = Compression of spring = 0.08 m

h = Height of fall = 5 m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

The kinetic energy of the spring and potential energy of the fall are conserved

\frac{1}{2}kx^2=mgh\\\Rightarrow k=\frac{2mgh}{x^2}\\\Rightarrow k=\frac{2\times 0.5\times 9.81\times 5}{0.08^2}\\\Rightarrow k=7664.06249\ N/m

The spring constant of the spring is 7664.06249 N/m

denpristay [2]

Answer:

a) from the hotter object to the cooler object

Explanation:

temperature moves by conduction,  which is associated with the movement of  atoms or molecules and the always move from hight temperatures to lower temperatures to attain thermal equilinrium of the system.

so when two objects are placed together and have different temperatures then the system is not in thermal equilibrium and to attain it, temperature can only move to coller object and not from the coller object according to thermodynamics.

Describe what is inside a spring balance and explain how it works. ​
kotykmax [81]

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.
