Answer:

0.281  m

Explanation:

Applying,

W = 0.5ke².................. Equation 1

Where W = Workdone by the stretched spring, k = spring constant, e = extension/ compression of the spring

make e the subject of the equation

e = √(2W/k)................ Equation 2

From the question,

Given: W = 1.240J, k = 31.50 N/m

Substitute these values into equation 2

e = √(2×1.240/31.50)

e = √(0.07873)

e = 0.281  m

The period T of a pendulum of length L is measured to determine g at the surface of Earth. The equation used is T=2π√L/g. The ma
saul85 [17]

Answer:

C: Variation in the value of g as the pendulum bob moves along its arc.

Explanation:

The formula for period of a simple pendulum is given by;

T = 2π√(L/g)

Where;

L is length

g is acceleration due to gravity

Now, from this period equation, it is clear that the only thing that can affect the period of a simple pendulum are changes to its length and acceleration due to gravity.

Looking at the options, the only one that talks about either the length or gravity as being potential causes of the error is option C

A uniform rod of length L rests on a frictionless horizontal surface. The rod pivots about a fixed frictionless axis at one end.
Svet_ta [14]

Answer: a) 0.315 (V/L)

Explanation:

From Conservation of angular momentum, we know that

L1 = L2 ,

Therefore MV L/2 = ( Irod + Ib) x W

M/4 x V x L/2 = (M (L/2)^2 + 1/3xMxL^2) x W

M/8 X VL = (ML^2/16 + ML^2 /3 )

After elimination we have,

V/8 = 19/48 x L x W

W = 48/8 x V/19L = 6/19 x V/L

Therefore W = (0.136)X V/L

Oxygen is a diatomic gas. How many oxygen molecules are in 16 grams of oxygen?
Licemer1 [7]

1 mol of oxygen molecules = 2 * 16 = 32 grams.

x mol of oxygen = 16 grams

1/x = 32/16    Cross multiply

16 = 32x        Divide by 32

16/32 = x

x = 1/2 mol

1 mol of anything has 6.02 * 10^23 somethings (molecules in this case).

1/2 mol = 6.02 *10^23 / 2

1/2 mol = 3.01 * 10^23 molecules <<<< answer
