Answer:

0.74 N/cm

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass (m) = 3 Kg

Extention (e) = 40 cm

Spring constant (K) =?

Next, we shall determine the force exerted on the spring.

This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 3 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Force (F) =?

F = mg

F = 3 × 9.8

F = 29.4 N

Finally, we shall determine the spring constant of the spring. This can be obtained as follow:

Extention (e) = 40 cm

Force (F) = 29.4 N

Spring constant (K) =?

F = Ke

29.4 = K × 40

Divide both side by 40

K = 29.4 / 40

K = 0.74 N/cm

Therefore, the spring constant of the spring is 0.74 N/cm

A 2.5-L tank initially is empty, and we want to fill it with 10 g of ammonia. The ammonia comes from a line with saturated vapor
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

592.92 x 10³ Pa

Explanation:

Mole of ammonia required = 10 g / 17 =0 .588 moles

We shall have to find pressure of .588 moles of ammonia at 30 degree having volume of 2.5 x 10⁻³ m³. We can calculate it as follows .

From the relation

PV = nRT

P x 2.5 x 10⁻³ =  .588 x 8.32 x ( 273 + 30 )

P = 592.92 x 10³ Pa

Cheetahs can accelerate to a speed of 19.6 m/s in 2.45 s and can continue to accelerate to reach a top speed of 27.6 m/s . Assum
marta [7]

Answer:

  • v_{top} = 61.96 \frac{mi}{h}

Explanation:

To express the cheetah's top speed in miles per hour, we just need to find the conversion factor.

We know that the top speed is

v_{top} = 27.7 \frac{m}{s}

So, we want to obtain miles from meters and hours from seconds.

<h3>miles from meters</h3>

First we write the equivalence:

1609.34 \ m = 1 \ mi

Now, we can divide by 1609.34 meters on both sides:

\frac{1609.34 \ m}{ 1609.34 \ m} = \frac{1 \ mi}{ 1609.34 \ m}

The left sides equals 1, so

1 = \frac{1 \ mi}{ 1609.34 \ m}

And this is our conversion factor from meters to miles. Now, we can multiply our top speed by this conversion factor, as the conversion factor equals one, and is dimensionless, the physical meaning will be the same.

v_{top} = 27.7 \frac{m}{s} * \frac{1 \ mi}{ 1609.34 \ m}

v_{top} = 27.7 \frac{m}{s} * \frac{1 \ mi}{ 1609.34 \ m}

v_{top} = 0.0172120 \frac{mi}{s}

This is the top speed in miles per second, now, for obtaining miles per hour:

<h3>hours from seconds</h3>

We can do pretty much the same, first, the equivalence:

1 \ h = 3600 \ s

as the seconds are dividing in the velocity, we know divide by 1 hour.

\frac{1 \ h}{ 1 \ h} = \frac{3600 \ s}{ 1 \ h}

1 = \frac{3600 \ s}{ 1 \ h}

and know we just multiply our top speed by this conversion factor

v_{top} = 0.0172120 \frac{mi}{s}  \frac{3600 \ s}{ 1 \ h}

v_{top} = 61.96 \frac{mi}{h}
