When a 4kg mass is hung vertically on a light spring, the spring stretches 2.5cm. A.) How far will the spring stretch if an addi

tional 1.5kg mass is hung on it? B.) If the 4 kg mass is removed, how far will the spring stretch if a 1.5 kg mass is hung on it? C.) How much work must be done on the spring to stretch the same spring 4 cm from its equilibrium position?

Answer:

Explanation:

The weight of the 4kg mass equals the force of the spring.

mg = kx

(4 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = k (0.025 m)

k = 1568 N/m

If an additional 1.5 kg is added, the spring stretches to:

(4 kg + 1.5 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = (1568 N/m) x

x = 0.034 m

x = 3.4 cm

If the 4 kg is removed, the spring stretches to:

(1.5 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = (1568 N/m) x

x = 0.0094 m

x = 0.94 cm

The work done to stretch a spring a distance x is:

E = 1/2 k x²

E = 1/2 (1568 N/m) (0.04 m)²

E = 1.3 J

Which of these statements is true about endothermic reactions, but not about exothermic reactions?
sashaice [31]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. For endothermic reactions, the reactants have less energy than the products. Which would mean that energy should be added to the reaction for it to proceed. Hope this answers the question.

If the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s and the wavelength of this note is 2.62 m, what is the frequency of this C3 note? (Round
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

<em>The frequency of of the note = 131 Hz.</em>

Explanation:

<em>Frequency:</em><em> Frequency can be defined as the number of complete oscillation completed by a wave in one seconds. The S.I unit of frequency is Hertz ( Hz)</em>

v = λf ............................ Equation 1

Making f the subject of the equation,

f = v/λ .......................... Equation 2

Where v = Speed, λ = wavelength, f = frequency

<em>Given: v = 343 m/s, λ = 2.62 m.</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 2</em>

<em>f = 343/2.62</em>

<em>f = 131 Hz</em>

<em>Thus the frequency of of the note = 131 Hz.</em>
