On your first trip to Planet X you happen to take along a 290 g mass, a 40-cm-long spring, a meter stick, and a stopwatch. You'r

e curious about the acceleration due to gravity on Planet X, where ordinary tasks seem easier than on earth, but you can't find this information in your Visitor's Guide. One night you suspend the spring from the ceiling in your room and hang the mass from it. You find that the mass stretches the spring by 23.0 cm . You then pull the mass down 11.7 cm and release it. With the stopwatch you find that 9.00 oscillations take 17.7 s.
Can you now satisfy your curiosity?

Answer:

The new value of g = 1.19 m/s^2

Explanation:

Mass  =290 g

Spring size  = 40 cm

The size of spring after streches = 23 cm

Pulling the mass down at  = 11.7 cm

The stopwatch shows the number of oscillations in 17.7 s = 9 osscillations.

The oscillation frequency is independent to g.

So, w = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} \\T = \frac{17.7}{9} = 1.966 \\W = \frac{2\pi}{T} = 3.197 \\w = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} \\k = w^{2}m \\k = (3.197)^{2} \times 0.29 = 2.96 N/M \\

The amount of spring stretch due to the hanging mass, x, is dependent on g.

Now, \ mg = kx \\g = \frac{kx}{m} \\g = \frac{2.96 \times 0.117}{0.29} = 1.19 m/s^{2}

Therefore, the new value of g = 1.19 m/s^2

An electric light is plugged into a 120-V outlet. If the current in the bulb is 0.50 A, how much electrical energy does the bulb
ioda

Answer:

= 54,000 Joules or 54 kJ

Explanation:

Electrical energy is given by the formula;

E = VIt; where V is the potential difference in volts, I is the current and t is the time in seconds.

Therefore;

Electrical energy = 120 V × 0.50 A × 15 ×60 seconds

                            = 54,000 Joules

Thus; the electrical energy is 54,000 joules or 54 kJ

What ia the law of convesation of energy​
Free_Kalibri [48]
In physics and chemistry, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; it is said to be conserved over time. This law means that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it can only be transformed or transferred from one form to another.

What value do we use to describe acceleration due to gravity
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

9.8 m/s2

Explanation:

In the first equation above, g is referred to as the acceleration of gravity. Its value is 9.8 m/s2 on Earth. That is to say, the acceleration of gravity on the surface of the earth at sea level is 9.8 m/s2.

Got it from the internet, hope it helps though ^^
