Answer: To increase the rigidity of the system you could hold the ruler at its midpoint so that the part of the ruler that oscillates is half as long as in the original experiment.

Explanation:

When a rule is displaced from its vertical position, it oscillates back and forth because of the restoring force opposing the displacement. That is, when the rule is on the left there is a force to the right.

By holding a ruler with one hand and deforming it with the other a force is generated in the opposite direction which is known as the restoring force. The restoring force causes the ruler to move back toward its stable equilibrium position, where the net force on it is zero. The momentum gained causes the ruler to move to the right leading to opposite deformation. This moves the ruler again to the left. The whole process is repeated until dissipative forces reduce the motion causing the ruler to come to rest.

The relationship between restoring force and displacement was described by Hooke's law. This states that displacement or deformation is directly proportional to the deforming force applied.

F= -kx, where,

F= restoring force

x= displacement or deformation

k= constant related to the rigidity of the system.

Therefore, the larger the force constant, the greater the restoring force, and the stiffer the system.

On a hot day, the temperature of a 65,000-L swimming pool increases by 1.20°C. What is the net heat transfer during this heating
vichka [17]

Answer:

326149.2 KJ

Explanation:

The heat transfer toward and object that suffered an increase in temperature can be calculated using the expression:

Q = m*cv*ΔT

Where m is the mass of the object, cv is the specific heat capacity at constant volume, which basically means the amount of heat necessary for a 1kg of water to increase 1C degree in temperatur, and ΔT is the change in temperature.

A 65000 L swimming pool will have a mass of:

65000L *\frac{1m^3}{1000L} * \frac{1000kg}{1m^3} = 65000 kg

The specific heat capacity at constant volume of water is equal to 4.1814 KJ/KgC.

We replace the data and get:

Q = m*cv*ΔT = 65000 kg * 4.1814 KJ/KgC * 1.2°C = 326149.2 KJ

As an object falls to the ground, its potential energy is being converted to kinetic energy.
alekssr [168]

Answer:

<em>The statement is true</em>

Explanation:

<u>Energy Conversion </u>

When an object starts to fall in free air, it speeds up as it falls. The force of gravity acting on the object causes energy to be transferred from its gravitational potential energy to its kinetic energy. We can safely say the height converts to speed and vice-versa. If no external forces act on the system, we can easily calculate heights and speeds by knowing the total mechanical energy (gravitational potential plus kinetic) is conserved.

Answer:

\boxed{\text{The statement is true}}
