Answer:

the energy required for the extension is 12.25 J

Explanation:

Given;

force constant of trampoline spring, k = 800 N/m

extension of trampoline spring, x = 17.5 cm = 0.175 m

The energy required for the extension is calculated as;

E = ¹/₂kx²

E = 0.5 x 800 x 0.175²

E = 12.25 J

Therefore, the energy required for the extension is 12.25 J

Mark creates a graphic organizer to review his notes about electrical force. Which labels belong in the regions marked X and Y?

sveta [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is A

Explanation:

The question requires as well the attached image, so please see that below.

Coulomb's Law.

The electrical force can be understood by remembering Coulomb's Law, that describes the electrostatic force between two charged particles. If the particles have charges $q_1$ and $q_2$ , are separated by a distance r and are at rest relative to each other, then its electrostatic force magnitude on particle 1 due particle 2 is given by:

$|F|=k \cfrac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

Thus if we decrease the distance by half we have

$r_1 =\cfrac r2$

So we get

$|F|=k \cfrac{q_1 q_2}{r_1^2}$

Replacing we get

$|F|=k \cfrac{q_1 q_2}{(r/2)^2}\\|F|=k \cfrac{q_1 q_2}{r^2/4}$

We can then multiply both numerator and denominator by 4 to get

$|F|=k \cfrac{4q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

So we have

$|F|=4 \left(k \cfrac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}\right)$

Thus if we decrease the distance by half we get four times the force.

Then we can replace the second condition

$q_{2new} =2q_2$

So we get

$|F|=k \cfrac{q_1 q_{2new}}{r_1^2}$

which give us

$|F|=k \cfrac{q_1 2q_2}{r_1^2}\\|F|=2\left(k \cfrac{q_1 q_2}{r_1^2}\right)$

Thus doubling one of the charges doubles the force.

So the answer is A.

Un automóvil se mueve 80 m en 40 s con una velocidad constante. ¿Cuál es la velocidad del automóvil? Ayuda plissssssssssssssssss

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Velocidad = 2 m/s

Explanation:

Dados los siguientes datos;

Distancia = 80 m

Tiempo = 40 s

Para encontrar la velocidad del automóvil;

La velocidad se puede definir como la tasa de cambio en el desplazamiento (distancia) con el tiempo.

La velocidad es una cantidad vectorial y, como tal, tiene magnitud y dirección.

Matemáticamente, la velocidad viene dada por la ecuación;

$Velocidad = \frac {distancia} {tiempo}$

Sustituyendo en la fórmula, tenemos;

Velocidad = 80/40

Velocidad = 2 m/s

The 300 m diameter Arecibo radio telescope is observing the Andromeda galaxy at a wavelength of 29 cm. show answer No Attempt 50

jekas [21]

Answer:

The angle between two just-resolvable stars for the Arecibo telescope is $1.179x10^{-3}rad$ .

Explanation:

The resulting image in a telescope obtained from an object is a diffraction pattern.

That diffraction pattern is obtained because the light encounters different obstacles on its path inside the telescope (interact with the walls and edges of the instrument).

The diffraction pattern is composed by a central disk, called Airy disk, and diffraction rings.

The angular resolution is defined as the minimal separation at which two sources can be resolved one for another, or in other words, when the distance between the two diffraction patterns maxima is greater than the radius of the Airy disk.

The angular resolution can be determined in an analytical way by means of the Rayleigh criterion.

$\theta = 1.22\frac{\lambda}{D}$ (1)
