Answer:

B - spring scale and meterstick

Explanation:

The work done by the force of gravity as the object falls is equal to the potential energy of the object.

We know that the gravitational potential energy(PE) of an object is obtained by;

PE =mgΔh

Where;

m = mass of the object

g = acceleration due to gravity

h= height of the object

The spring scale is needed to measure the mass of the object while the meterstick measures the Δh in meters.

What will be the final temperature if a 4.00 g silver ring at 41.0◦C if it gives off 18.0 J of heat to the surroundings? The spe
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Final temperature, T_f=21.85^{\circ}

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of silver ring, m = 4 g

Initial temperature, T_i=41^{\circ}C

Heat released, Q = -18 J (as heat is released)

Specific heat capacity of silver, c=0.235\ J/g\ C

To find,

Final temperature

Solution,

The expression for the specific heat is given by :

Q=mc\Delta T

Q=mc(T_f-T_i)

T_f=\dfrac{-Q}{mc}+T_i

T_f=\dfrac{-18}{4\times 0.235}+41

T_f=21.85^{\circ}

So, the final temperature of silver is 21.85 degrees Celsius.

base your answer to this question on the information below and on your knowledge of physics. A toy launcher that is used to laun
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer: v = 2.24 m/s

Explanation: The <u>Law</u> <u>of</u> <u>Conservation</u> <u>of</u> <u>Energy</u> states that total energy is constant in any process and, it cannot be created nor destroyed, only transformed.

So, in the toy launcher, the energy of the compressed spring, called <u>Elastic</u> <u>Potential</u> <u>Energy (PE)</u>, transforms into the movement of the plastic sphere, called <u>Kinetic</u> <u>Energy (KE)</u>. Since total energy must be constant:

KE_{i}+PE_{i}=KE_{f}+PE_{f}

where the terms with subscript i are related to the initial of the process and the terms with subscript f relates to the final process.

The equation is calculated as:

\frac{1}{2}kx^{2}+0=0+\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

\frac{1}{2}kx^{2}=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

\frac{1}{2}50(0.1)^{2}=\frac{1}{2}(0.1)v^{2}

v^{2}=\frac{50(0.1)^{2}}{0.1}

v=\sqrt{50(0.1)}

v=\sqrt{5}

v = 2.24

The maximum speed the plastic sphere will be launched is 2.24 m/s.

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

F = 0.3\ Hz

Explanation:

Given

See attachment for the graph

Required

Determine the frequency

Frequency (F) is calculated as:

F = \frac{1}{T}

Where

T = Time to complete a period

From the attachment, the wave complete a cycle or period in 3 seconds..

So:

F = \frac{1}{3s}

F = 0.333\ Hz

F = 0.3\ Hz --- Approximated
