Assume it takes 10 J to stretch a spring 10 cm beyond its natural length. Find the work required (in Joules) to stretch the spri

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

W = 30 J

Explanation:

given,

Work done = 10 J

Stretch of spring, x = 0.1 m

We know,

dW = F .dx

we know, F = k x

$\int dW = \int_0^{0.1} k.x dx$

$W = \int_0^{0.1} k.x dx$

$W = k[\dfrac{x^2}{2}]_0^{0.1}$

$10 = k\dfrac{0.1^2}{2}$

k = 2000

now, calculating Work done by the spring when it stretched to 0.2 m from 0.1 m.

$W = \int_{0.1}^{0.2} 2000 x dx$

$W = 2000 [\dfrac{x^2}{2}]_{0.1}^{0.2} dx$

W = 1000 x 0.03

W = 30 J

Hence, work done is equal to 30 J.

The turn signal indicator should be activated at least _____ before merging.

Anika [276]

The turn signal indicator should be activated at least FIVE SECONDS before merging. This is done in order to let the other drivers behind you know that you want to turn and to slow down for you, this keeps you and other road users safe and prevent accident.

What happens when a substance undergoes a physical change

zysi [14]

Physical changes are those which do not affect the chemical properties of a substance. For example, when a paper is cut, the two pieces obtained are still paper. The chemical properties have not changed. Only, physically when one piece is cut to two. A chemical change occurs when the chemical properties change and a new substance with different chemical properties is obtained. For example, when the paper is burnt, it turns to ashes. Hence, this is a chemical change.

When a substance undergoes a physical change, the physical properties of the substance changes like the state (solid to liquid during melting), shape, size, volume etc. Many physical changes are reversible whereas, in general many chemical changes are irreversible.

In 2014, about how far in meters would you have to travel on the surface of the Earth from the North Magnetic Pole to the Geogra

pogonyaev

Answer:

267.07 km

Explanation:

We have given the radius of the earth = 6378.1 km

In 2014 the difference between the magnetic north pole and geographical north pole is 2.40°

2.40° $=2.40\times \frac{\pi }{180}=0.041866 radian$

We know that linear distance is given by $S=R\Theta =6378.1\times 0.041866=267.07km$

So we have to travel 267.07 km in going from magnetic north pole to geographic north pole

What is the formula for calculating the efficiency of a heat engine? Efficiency = StartFraction T Subscript h Baseline minus T S

Anna007 [38]

Efficiency of heat engine is determined by the ratio of difference in temperature of cold from hot reservoir to the temperature of hot reservoir over temperature of hot reservoir.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Efficiency is defined as the output from the input. So it is the ratio of energy output to the energy input. In case of temperature, it is the change in temperature from hot reservoir to cold reservoir with the overall hot reservoir temperature.

$Efficiency =\frac{T_{h} -T_{c} }{T_{h} }$

Thus, option A is the most suitable as the heat will be transferred from high temperature to low temperature. So the hot reservoir will be releasing the energy. So the conversion of hot reservoir temperature to cool reservoir temperature is defined as the efficiency. Thus, option A is the most suitable.
