Answer:

0.83 J of work

Explanation:

2 J of work is required to stretch a spring from 34cm to 46cm

So that is 12cm stretched with 2 J of work

We can make that 6cm for 1 J of work

So, we need the find the work for stretching 36cm to 41cm

Which is 5cm

So, What is the work required to stretch 5cm?

1 J of work for 6cm

x work for 5cm

So, by proportion method

1 : 6 :: x : 5

6 * x = 1 * 5

6x = 5

x = 5/6

= 0.83

So to stretch 36cm to 41cm we need 0.83 J of work

How light is channelled down an optical fibre
coldgirl [10]

Explanation:

Suppose you want to shine a flashlight beam down a long, straight hallway. Just point the beam straight down the hallway -- light travels in straight lines, so it is no problem. What if the hallway has a bend in it? You could place a mirror at the bend to reflect the light beam around the corner. What if the hallway is very winding with multiple bends? You might line the walls with mirrors and angle the beam so that it bounces from side-to-side all along the hallway. This is exactly what happens in an optical fiber.

The light in a fiber-optic cable travels through the core (hallway) by constantly bouncing from the cladding (mirror-lined walls), a principle called total internal reflection. Because the cladding does not absorb any light from the core, the light wave can travel great distances.

However, some of the light signal degrades within the fiber, mostly due to impurities in the glass. The extent that the signal degrades depends on the purity of the glass and the wavelength of the transmitted light (for example, 850 nm = 60 to 75 percent/km; 1,300 nm = 50 to 60 percent/km; 1,550 nm is greater than 50 percent/km). Some premium optical fibers show much less signal degradation -- less than 10 percent/km at 1,550 nm.

Consider two children sitting on a merry-go-round, with one closer to the outer edge and one closer to the center. show answer N
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

They both have the same angular speed.

Explanation:

The mathematical formula for angular speed is:

w=\frac{2\pi}{T}

where w is angular speed, 2\pi is a constant, and T is the period (the time it takes the marry-go-round to complete a lap).

What we can see from the formula is that, since the 2\pi does not change its value, the angular speed depends only on the period T.

In this case for both the children closer to the outher edge and for the children closer to the center, the time to complete a lap is the same, because the time does not depend on where they are sitting in the marry go round. This means that the period for both is the same.

Thus, since the period for both is the same, the angular speed given by

w=\frac{2\pi}{T} will also be the same

In a pig caller can produce a sound intensity level of 107 dB. How many pig callers would be needed to generate an intensity lev
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

20 pig callers

Explanation:

Given that:

A pig caller produced intensity level of  a sound = 107 dB

To find how many pig callers required to generate an intensity level of 120 dB;

we have:

120 dB - 107 dB = 13 dB

Taking the logarithm function;

10 \ log \bigg(\dfrac{I}{I_o} \bigg) = 13 \ dB

where;

I_o = initial intensity

log \bigg(\dfrac{I}{I_o} \bigg) = 1.3

\dfrac{I}{I_o}=  10^{1.3 }

I = 19.95I_o

I ≅ 20 pig callers
