To find a general equilibrium point for a spring based on the hook law, it is possible to start from the following premise:

Hook's law is given by:

F = k\Delta X

Where,

k= Spring Constant

\Delta X = Change in Length

F = Force

When there is a Mass we have two force acting at the System:

W= mg

Where W is the force product of the weigth. Then the force net can be defined as,

F_{net} = F+W

But we have a system in equilibrium, so

0 = K\Delta X -mg

We find the equilibrium for any location when

\Delta X = \frac{mg}{k}

Since the aluminum bar is not an isolated system, the second law of thermodynamics cannot be applied to the bar alone. Rather, i
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

ΔS total ≥ 0 (ΔS total = 0 if the process is carried out reversibly in the surroundings)

Explanation:

Assuming that the entropy change in the aluminium bar is due to heat exchange with the surroundings ( the lake) , then the entropy change of the aluminium bar is, according to the second law of thermodynamics, :

ΔS al ≥ ∫dQ/T

if the heat transfer is carried out reversibly

ΔS al =∫dQ/T  

in the surroundings

ΔS surr ≥ -∫dQ/T = -ΔS al → ΔS surr ≥ -ΔS al = - (-1238 J/K) = 1238 J/K

the total entropy change will be

ΔS total = ΔS al + ΔS surr

ΔS total ≥ ΔS al + (-ΔS al) =

ΔS total ≥ 0

the total entropy change will be ΔS total = 0 if the process is carried out reversibly in the surroundings

A 11,000-watt radio station transmits at 880 kHz. Determine the number of joules transmitted per second.
NARA [144]

1 watt = 1 joule per sec

11,000 Watts = 11,000 joules per sec

The frequency doesn't matter.

n 38 g rifle bullet traveling at 410 m/s buries itself in a 4.2 kg pendulum hanging on a 2.8 m long string, which makes the pend
Kitty [74]

Answer:

68cm

Explanation:

You can solve this problem by using the momentum conservation and energy conservation. By using the conservation of the momentum you get

p_f=p_i\\mv_1+Mv_2=(m+M)v

m: mass of the bullet

M: mass of the pendulum

v1: velocity of the bullet = 410m/s

v2: velocity of the pendulum =0m/s

v: velocity of both bullet ad pendulum joint

By replacing you can find v:

(0.038kg)(410m/s)+0=(0.038kg+4.2kg)v\\\\v=3.67\frac{m}{s}

this value of v is used as the velocity of the total kinetic energy of the block of pendulum and bullet. This energy equals the potential energy for the maximum height reached by the block:

E_{fp}=E_{ki}\\\\(m+M)gh=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

g: 9.8/s^2

h: height

By doing h the subject of the equation and replacing you obtain:

(0.038kg+4.2kg)(9.8m/s^2)h=\frac{1}{2}(0.038kg+4.2kg)(3.67m/s)^2\\\\h=0.68m

hence, the heigth is 68cm

The ratio of the output work to input force is the _ of the machine ?
Colt1911 [192]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Mechanical advantage

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Mechanical advantage is the ratio of force output from a machine divided by the force input into the machine.
  • Mechanical advantage measures the machine's force-magnifying effect. It is an advantage gained by using simple machines to accomplish work with less effort.
  • The formula is; M.A = output force/ Input force
