Suppose a spring has a relaxed length of 28.3 cm. The simulation refers to this as the natural length. This is the length of the

spring when it is not stretched nor compressed by any force. When you hang a mass of 550 g on the vertical spring, the spring stretches to a new length of 38.2 cm. What is an estimate of the spring constant, k, of the spring? (Enter your answer in N/m.) Measuring only one value is not a good way to get the value, but you can an idea of the approximate size.

Answer:

Explanation:

Normal length of spring = 28.3 cm

stretched length of spring = 38.2 cm

length of extension = 38.2 - 28.3 = 9.9 cm

= 9.9 x 10⁻² m

force applied to stretch = .55 x 9.8 ( mg )

= 5.39 N

Force constant = force applied / extension

= 5.39 / 9.9 x 10⁻²

= .5444 x 10² N /m

= 54.44 N/m

A 20-liter container contains 2.0 moles of oxygen at a pressure of 92 kpa. the average kinetic energy of translation of oxygen m
Vikentia [17]

From ideal gas law, PV=nRT

where P is the pressure, V is the volume of the container, n is number of moles, R is the gas constant and T is the temperature.

Hence, T=\frac{PV}{nR}=\frac{92*10^{3}*2.0*10^{-3}}{2*3.314}

T= 110.65 k

Kinetic Energy = \frac{3}{2}KT=\frac{3}{2}  (1.38*10^{-23})(110.65)

K.E=  2.2*10^{-21}J

<h3>What is a kinetic energy? </h3>

The energy an object has as a result of motion is known as kinetic energy.

A force must be applied to an object in order to accelerate it. We must put in effort in order to apply a force. After the work is finished, energy is transferred to the item, which then moves at a new, constant speed. Kinetic energy is the type of energy that is transferred and is dependent on the mass and speed attained.

Kinetic energy can be converted into other types of energy and transported between objects. A flying squirrel may run into a chipmunk that is standing still, for instance. Some of the squirrel's initial kinetic energy may have been transferred to the chipmunk or changed into another kind of energy after the collision.

What is endurance? a). the ability to run faster b). a combination of balance and coordination c). how much you can stretch d).
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

D. the ability to exercise for longer periods of time

Explanation:

For example, when someone does endurance training, they are stretching their body's ability to do a certain exercise for longer times as opposed to increasing strength.

Hull (1943) had rats push a lever that required 21 grams of force to budge. After they had learned to push the lever in order to
Zina [86]

Years of research have demonstrated that rats are intelligent creatures who experience pain and pleasure, care about one another, are able to read the emotions of others, and would assist other rats, even at their own expense.

<h3>Experiments:</h3>

In trials carried out at Brown University in the 1950s, rats were trained to press a lever for food, but they stopped pressing the lever when they noticed that with each press, a rat in an adjacent cage would scream in pain (after experiencing an electric shock).

Rats were trained to press a lever to lower a block that was hanging from a hoist by electric shocks administered by experimenters. A rat was subsequently hoisted into a harness by the experimenters, and according to their notes, "This animal normally shrieked and wriggled sufficiently while dangling, and if it did not, it was jabbed with a sharp pencil until it exhibited indications of discomfort." Even if it wasn't in danger of receiving a shock, a rat watching the scenario from the floor would pull a lever to lower the hapless rodent to safety.
