Why is temperature constant during a phase change?
shutvik [7]
Because during a phase change nothing really happens. Before a phase change, energy and temperature will increase or decrease as well as after.

A ball is thrown upwards from the edge of a cliff. The horizontal velocity and vertical velocity are both 20m/s the distance fro
german

Answer:

20m

6.9s

Explanation:

The vertical velocity of the ball is 20m/s. We can calculate the kinetic energy which gets transferred to potential energy once it gets to the top.

E_k = E_p

0.5mv^2 = mgh

h = \frac{0.5v^2}{g}

we can subtitute v = 20m/s and g = 10m/s2

h = \frac{0.5*20^2}{10} = 20 m

So the ball could go 20m high from the child hand, or 120m fro the bottom of the cliff.

The time it takes for the ball to travels to the top is the time it takes for it to decelerate from 20m/s to 0m/s with gravitational deceleration g = 10m/s2

t = v / g = 20 / 10 = 2s

Then the ball will start accelerating down ward with a constant acceleration of g = 10m/s. In order to cover distance d of 120m from the top to the bottom of the cliff

d = \frac{gt_2^2}{2}

t^2 = \frac{2d}{g} = \frac{2*120}{10} = 24

t = \sqrt{24} = 4.9s

So the total time it takes is 4.9 + 2 = 6.9s

A block of mass 0.404 0.404 kg is hung from a vertical spring and allowed to reach equilibrium at rest. As a result, the spring
VARVARA [1.3K]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Force from Hook's law as well as the definition of the period provided by the same definition.

We know that the Force can be defined as

F = xk \rightarrow mg = kx \Rightarrow k = \frac{mg}{x}

Where

k = Spring constant

x = Displacement

g = Gravity

m = mass

At the same time the period of a spring mass system is defined as

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}

Where

m = Mass

k = Spring constant

Our values are given as,

m = 0.404kg

x = 0.666m

Replacing to find the value of the Spring constant we have that

k = \frac{mg}{x}

k = \frac{(0.404)(9.8)}{0.666}

k = 5.944N/m

Now using the formula of the period we know that

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{0.404}{5.944}}

T = 1.638s

Finally, if the oscillation was 0.359m

The maximum height will be determined by the total length of that oscillation being equivalent to

h=2a

h = 2*0.359

h = 0.718m

An astrophysicist mounts two thin lenses along a single optical axis (the lenses are at right angles to the line connecting them
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

1 / i + 1 / o = 1 / f     thin lens equations

i = o f / (o - f)   rearranging

Lens 1:   object = 30 cm    f = 15.2 cm

i1 = 30 * 15.2 / (30 - 15.2) = 30.8 cm

o2 = 40.2 - 30/8 = 9.4 cm    distance of image 1 from lens 2

i2 = 9.4 * 15.2 / (9.4 - 15.2) = - 24.6 cm

The final image is 24.6 cm to the left of lens 2

The first image is inverted

The second image is erect (as seen from the first image)

So the final image is inverted

M = m1 * m2 = (-30.8 / 30) * (24.6 / 9.4) = -2.69
