F = k x

k = 2 g/6.1 cm

2.5g = (2g/6.1cm) x

x = 6.1 (2.5/2) cm

The ideal spring equation is

                               Stretch  =  K  times  Force  .

This says that the stretch is directly proportional to the force.
In simple English, that means that if you double the force, then
you double the stretch, and if you multiply the force by  π  or
any other number, you multiply the stretch by the same number.

So you can always write a proportion for a spring:

                 Stretch₁ / Force₁  =  Stretch₂ / Force₂ .

In this question, the force is increased to  (2.2 / 2.0) =  1.1 times .

So the stretch is also increased to  1.1 times .

                 (1.1) x (5.2 cm)  =<span>  5.72 cm  .</span>

An object is 25.0 cm from the mirror, its height is 5.0 cm, and focal length is 8.0 cm. What is the distance from the image to t
Oksana_A [137]
1.) Use the formula to solve - 
             1/f = 1/do + 1/di; Where f = focal length; 1/do + 1/di
             1/f = 1/do + di
            1/8 = 1/25 + 1/?
          .125 = .04 + 1/di
   .125 -.04 = 1/di (transferred .04 to the left side of the equation)
       .085/1 = 1/di
.085di/.085 = 1/.085 (multiplied both sides by di and divided both sides by .085)
               di = 11.76 or 12
2.) Therefore, 12 cm is the distance from the image to the mirror

A 40.0 kg wheel, essentially a thin hoop with radius 0.810 m, is rotating at 438 rev/min. It must be brought to a stop in 21.0 s
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

(a) Workdone = -27601.9J

(b) Average required power = 1314.4W

Explanation:

Mass of hoop,m =40kg

Radius of hoop, r=0.810m

Initial angular velocity Winitial=438rev/min

Wfinal=0

t= 21.0s

Rotation inertia of the hoop around its central axis I= mr²

I= 40 ×0.810²

I=26.24kg.m²

The change in kinetic energy =K. E final - K. E initail

Change in K. E =1/2I(Wfinal² -Winitial²)

Change in K. E = 1/2 ×26.24[0-(438×2π/60)²]

Change in K. E= -27601.9J

(a) Change in Kinetic energy = Workdone

W= 27601.9J( since work is done on hook)

(b) average required power = W/t

=27601.9/21 =1314.4W

A hole is drilled in a metal plate. When the metal is raised to a higher temperature, what happens to the diameter of the hole?
zysi [14]

Answer:

The diameter of the hole increases

Explanation:

Metals expand and contract with temperature. Whenever metal is heated, it usually expands in relation to its thermal expansivity. This expansion leads to a slight increase in surface area.

Once the surface area of the metal changes, this means that the dimensions of the whole metal surface changed. As a result, the diameter of the hole drilled in the metal plate will change also. In our case, the diameter of the hole will increase.
