A spring has a constant k= 10.32 N/m and is hung vertically. A 0.400kg mass is suspended from the spring. What is the displaceme
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

displacement (x) = 0.003798 meters

Explanation:

from the fact that the string is hung vertically we can deduce that:

Total force acting on the mass = Fs (by spring) + Fg (by gravity)

<em>where</em>

Fs = k*x , x is the displacement..

Fg = m*g

then:

Ftot = m*a, <em>but a = 0 m/(s^2) because the mass becames stationary.</em>

Ftot = 0

Fs + Fg = 0

<em>by direction, take down as negative.</em>

Fs - Fg = 0

k*x = m*g

x = m*g/k = [(0.400)(9.8)]/(10.32)

  = 0.3798 meters

A museum is creating an exhibit about atoms. Which type of exhibit would best explain what atoms are? A. Put an atom on a poster
Zolol [24]
 
A).  No.  The entire poster is already covered with atoms,
but they're too small to see.

B).  No.  What's "life-size" of an atom ?  It's too small to see,
and that's the whole problem.

D).  No.  Atoms are too small to see even with a microscope.

C).  Yes !  A model of an atom, big enough to see, would help
get <em><u>some</u></em> of the important ideas across.

What is the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are categorized according to their frequency f or, equivalently, according to their wavelength λ = c/f. Visible light has a wavelength range from ~400 nm to ~700 nm.

The electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) is the general name given to the known range of electromagnetic radiation. Wavelengths increase from approximately 10-18 m to 100 km, and this corresponds to frequencies decreasing from 3 × 1026 Hz to 3 ×103 Hz.

What is the pressure exerted by 0.801 mol of co2 in a 12 l container?
Svetlanka [38]
We assume that the gas is an ideal gas so we can use the relation PV=nRT. Assuming that the temperature of the system is at ambient temperature, T = 298 K. We can calculate as follows:

PV = nRT
P = nRT / V
P = (0.801 mol ) (0.08205 L-atm / mol-K) (298.15 K) / 12 L
P = 1.633 atm

A small rock with mass 0.20 kg is released from rest at point A, which is at the top edge of a large, hemispherical bowl with ra
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

0(zero)

Explanation:

Given that m=0.20kg, radius of the bowl,R=050m and that the mass slides from point A to B.

-Since the normal force is perpendicular to the displacement at every point of the motion,then work  done by the normal force is zero.
