Answer:

0.0928J

Explanation:

the pulling force of spring F=-kx

where x is the displacement from equilibrium position.

energy stored:

$\int\limits^x_0 {-F} \, dx \\=\int\limits^x_0 {kx} \, dx \\\\=\frac{kx^{2} }{2}$

*** Its fine if you know nothing about calculus. Just apply the equation

$U=\frac{kx^{2} }{2}$

where U is the potential energy of the spring***

put x=0.150, $U=\frac{8.25}{2}$ × $0.150^{2}$ = 0.0928J (corr. to 3 sig. fig.)

What wavelength of light (in nm) is associated with a frequency of 8.01E15 Hz?

AlekseyPX

Answer: 37.5 nm

Explanation: speed of light c= 3.00·10^8 m/s.

I use same accuracy to speed of light as it's for frequency.

Frequency f= 8.01·10^15 1/s

Speed c = wavelength · frequency

Wavelength = c/f = 3.745·10^-8 m

Water (density = 1 ´ 103 kg/m3) flows at 10 m/s through a pipe with radius 0.030 m. the pipe goes up to the second floor of the

Hatshy [7]

density of water = $1000 kg/m^3$

velocity of flow = $10 m/s$

radius of pipe = $0.030 m$

Height of second floor = $2 m$

Now we can use here Bernuoli's Equation to find the speed of water flow at second floor

$P_1 + 1/2\rho v_1^2 + \rho g h_1= P_2 + 1/2 \rho v_2^2 + \rho g h_2$

$P + 1/2 * 1000 * 10^2 + 1000* 9.8 * 0 = P + 1/2 * 1000 * v^2 + 1000*9.8*2$

$v = 7.8 m/s$

Now in order to find the radius of pipe we can use equation of continuity

$A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2$

$\pi *0.030^2 * 10 = \pi * r^2 * 7.8$

$r = 0.034 m$

So radius of pipe at second floor is 0.034 meter

Describe two experiments to determine the speed of propagation of a transverse wave on a rope. You have the following tools to u

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

#See solution for details.

Explanation:

1.

Tools: $stopwatch, \ meter \ stick, \ mass \ measuring \ scale , \ force \ measuring \ device$ .

$Experiment \ 1$ :Calculate the speed of the wave using the time, $t$ it takes to travel along the rope. Rope's length, $L$ is measured using the meter stick.

-Attach one end of rope to a wall or post, shake from the unfixed end to generate a pulse. Measure the the time it takes for the pulse to reach the wall once it starts traveling using the stopwatch.

-Speed of the pulse can then be obtained as:

$v=\frac{L}{t}$

$Experiment \ 2$ : Apply force of known value to the rope then use the following relation equation to find the speed of a pulse that travels on the rope.

$v=\sqrt{\frac{F}{\mu}}\ ,\mu=\frac{m}{L}$

-Use the measuring stick and measuring scale to determine $L,m$ values of the rope then obtain $\mu$ .

-Use the force measuring constant to determine $F$ . These values can the be substituted in $Experiment \ 1$ to obtain $v.$
