Answer:

2N/cm

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Hooke's Law, the force required to extend or compress a spring is directly proportional distance you can stretch it, which is represented as:

$F=kx$

where, $F$ is the force which is stretching or compressing the spring,

$k$ is the spring constant; and

$x$ is the distance the spring is stretched.

Substituting the given values to find the elastic constant $k$ to get:

$F=kx$

$4=k(2)$

$k=\frac{4}{2}$

$k=2$

Therefore, the elastic constant is 2 Newton/cm.

The Moment of Inertia of the Disc is represented by $I = \frac{15}{32}\cdot M\cdot R^{2}$ . (Correct answer: A)

Let suppose that the Disk is a Rigid Body whose mass is uniformly distributed. The Moment of Inertia of the element is equal to the Moment of Inertia of the entire Disk minus the Moment of Inertia of the Hole, that is to say:

$I = I_{D} - I_{H}$ (1)

Where:

$I_{D}$ - Moment of inertia of the Disk.

$I_{H}$ - Moment of inertia of the Hole.

Then, this formula is expanded as follows:

$I = \frac{1}{2}\cdot M\cdot R^{2} - \frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot \left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot R^{2} \right)$ (1b)

Dimensionally speaking, Mass is directly proportional to the square of the Radius, then we derive the following expression for the Mass removed by the Hole ( $m$ ):

$\frac{m}{M} = \frac{R^{2}}{4\cdot R^{2}}$

$m = \frac{1}{2}\cdot M$

And the resulting equation is:

$I = \frac{1}{2}\cdot M\cdot R^{2} -\frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(\frac{1}{4}\cdot M \right) \cdot \left(\frac{1}{4}\cdot R^{2} \right)$

$I = \frac{1}{2} \cdot M\cdot R^{2} - \frac{1}{32}\cdot M\cdot R^{2}$

$I = \frac{15}{32}\cdot M\cdot R^{2}$

The moment of inertia of the Disc is represented by $I = \frac{15}{32}\cdot M\cdot R^{2}$ . (Correct answer: A)

What is the kinetic theory of matter? How does it relate to the motion of molecules?

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is energy that an object has because of its motion. The Kinetic Molecular Theory explains the forces between molecules and the energy that they possess. This theory is based on three theories about matter. Matter is composed of small particles (atoms, molecules, and ions).

Explain why it takes more energy to remove the second electron from a lithium atom than it does to remove the fourth electron fr

slava [35]

It takes more energy to remove the second electron from a lithium atom than it does to remove the fourth electron from a carbon atom because its inner core e, not valence e. C's 4th removed e is still a valence e. And also because more nuclear charge acting on the second electron, it is more close to the nucleus, thus the the protons attract it more than the 4th electron.
