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

How much heat is required to convert 500g of liquid water at 28°C into steam at 150°C? Take the specific heat capacity of water
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

1,327,063Joules

Explanation:

Heat energy is the energy needed to convert the state of a body from one phase to another.

According to the question, we want to calculate the total heat required to convert water into vapour (steam).

Note that before water can vapourize, it has to reach the boiling point first which is at 100°C. Heat energy needed to convert the water to 100°C is expressed as H1 = mcΔθ

m is the mass of the object in kg =0.5kg

c is the spcific heat capacity of water = 4183J/kg°C

Δθ is the change in temperature = 100-28 = 72°C

H1 = 0.5*4183*72

H1 = 150,588Joules

Energy required to convert the water to team H2 =mLsteam

Lsteam is the latent heat of vaporization = 2.26×10⁶J/kg

H2 = 0.5*2.26×10⁶

H2 = 1130000Joules

Heat energy needed to convert the water to 150°C is expressed as H3 = mcΔθ

m is the mass of the object in kg =0.5kg

c is the spcific heat capacity of steam= 1859J/kg°C

Δθ is the change in temperature = 150-100 = 50°C

H3 = 0.5*1859*50

H1 = 46,475Joules

Total Heat requires = H1+H2+H3 = 150,588Joules+1130000Joules+ 46,475Joules = 1,327,063Joules

What affect, if any, does increasing the speed of the plunger have on the wavelength of the waves
mojhsa [17]

As the speed of the plunger increases, the wavelength of the waves decreases. The greater the frequency, the smaller the wavelength. The smaller the frequency, the greater the wavelength. When we increase the speed of the plunger, the frequency of the waves also increases, and just like with the size of the ball, it’s the speed of the plunger and the frequency of the waves are directly related.

If the voltage across the first capacitor (the one with capacitance
RoseWind [281]
The answer to this question is: it depends. It depends on the arrangement of the capacitors in a circuit: it can be either in series or in parallel. The difference is shown in the picture. 

Capacitors are like batteries in a way that they store power from the source. It has some rules depending on the type of circuit. For parallel circuits, the voltage across each capacitor is equal. Therefore, V₁=V₂=V₃.

On the other hand, if the capacitors are arranged in series, the voltage across each capacitor should add up to the total voltage of the source. Therefore, V₁+V₂+V₃ = Total Voltage.
