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

(8%) Problem 3: Sound in water travels at a velocity governed by the relation v = √(B/rho) where B is the bulk modulus and rho i
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

the time required for the sound to travel between the whales 0.66 S.

Explanation:

As given in the problem, the velocity of sound wave (v) is governed by the equation

v = \sqrt{\dfrac{B}{\rho}}

Given, B = 2.38 \times 10^{9} Pa and \rho = 1046 Kg m^{-3}

So for salt water, the velocity of sound wave (v_{s}) can be written as

v_{s} = \sqrt{\dfrac{2.38 \times 10^{9}}{1046}} ms^{-1} = 1.508 \times 10^{3} ms^{-1}

As the whales are d = 1 Km or 1000 m apart from each other, so the time (t) required for the sound wave to travel this distance is given by

t = \dfrac{d}{v_{s}} = \dfrac{1000 m}{1.508 \times 10^{3}} = 0.66 s

Scientists discovered that the level of deuterium in comets forming in the Kuiper Belt is nearly identical to the level found in
malfutka [58]

Options:

  • The impact of Earth’s gravity on the decay rate of deuterium is the same as the impact of microgravity.  
  • Most of the water that forms the oceans of Earth arrived by way of impacts with Kuiper Belt comets.  
  • Most comets formed from deuterium-based water that was stripped away from early Earth by solar radiation.

Answer:

<u>Most of the water that forms the oceans of Earth arrived by way of impacts with Kuiper Belt comets.</u>

Explanation:

Note, a comet is a celestial body made of ice which releases gases when it orbits close to the Sun. Deuterium is a type of element which can be found in comets and in our oceans on earth. Deuterium is considered an isotope of hydrogen.

Hence, because of the similarities between the Deuterium and Hydrogen, some scientists promote the theory that most of the water that forms on oceans of the earth<em> likely</em> arrived by the impact with Kuiper Belt comets.

To study the properties of various particles, you can accelerate the particles with electric fields. A positron is a particle wi
maria [59]

Answer:

a) a = 5.03x10¹³ m/s²

b) V_{f} = 4.4 \cdot 10^{5} m/s

Explanation:    

a) The acceleration of the positron can be found as follows:

F = q*E    (1)

Also,

F = ma    (2)

By entering equation (1) into (2), we have:

a = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{qE}{m}

<u>Where:</u>

F: is the electric force

m: is the particle's mass = 9.1x10⁻³¹ kg

q: is the charge of the positron = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹ C    

E: is the electric field = 286 N/C

a = \frac{qE}{m} = \frac{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C*286 N/C}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg} = 5.03 \cdot 10^{13} m/s^{2}

b) The positron's speed can be calculated using the following equation:

V_{f} = V_{0} + at

<u>Where</u>:

V_{f}: is the final speed =?

V_{0}: is the initial speed =0

t: is the time = 8.70x10⁻⁹ s

V_{f} = V_{0} + at = 0 + 5.03 \cdot 10^{13} m/s^{2}*8.70 \cdot 10^{-9} s = 4.4 \cdot 10^{5} m/s

I hope it helps you!
