Is the amount of stretch of the springs proportional to the hanging mass? Explain briefly.

Physics

Leviafan [203]2 years ago

Answer:

When connected in parallel, the extension of both springs is the same, and the total elastic force will be equal to the sum of the forces in each spring: x=x1=x2,F=F1+F2. F=F1+F2,⇒kx=k1x1+k2x2=(k1+k2)x,⇒k=k1+k2.

In the great shopping cart race, two students push on shopping carts. A having twice the mass of B, with the same force applied
fiasKO [112]

B. cart B

Explanation:

The acceleration of each cart is given by Newton's second law:

F=ma

a=\frac{F}{m}

where F is the force applied, a is the acceleration and m is the cart's mass.

The force F applied is the same for the two carts, however the mass of cart A (mA) is twice than the mass of cart B (mB), so we can rewrite the two accelerations:

a_A = \frac{F}{m_A}=\frac{F}{2 m_B}

a_B = \frac{F}{m_B}

we see that the acceleration of cart B is twice the acceleration of cart A, therefore cart B will move faster and will win the race.

A polonium isotope with an atomic mass of 211.988868 u undergoes alpha decay, resulting in a daughter isotope with an atomic mas
prisoha [69]

Answer:

 K = 9.53 MeV

Explanation:

The kinetic energy that the alpha particle has emitted, is the energy in excess after removing the resting energy of the atoms and the helium nucleus that forms the alpha particle

Since energy and masses are related and cannot be

          m₀ c² = m_{f} c² + m_He c²+ K

          K = c² (m₀ - m_{f} - m_He)

           

the mass of the Helium atom is 4 u

           K = (3 10⁸)² (211,988868 -207.976652 - 4,002) 1,661 10⁻²⁷

           K = 14,949 10⁻¹¹ (0.0102)

             

          K = 1,527 10⁻¹² J

let's reduce 1 J = 6,242 10¹² MeV

           K = 9.53 MeV

What is the internal energy of a system including the kinetic and potential energy of its particles?
Gekata [30.6K]

Internal energy of a system is the product of specific heat and temperature included with number of moles. (i=nCT) and kinetic energy is product of Boltzmann constant and temperature.

  • All systems have a certain amount of energy that can be converted into other energy to do work. The kinetic energy within the molecules and atoms that make up the body and the energy generated by the intermolecular forces between them are collectively called internal energy.
  • In other words, the energy hidden in the system that can appear under different conditions can be called the internal energy of the system.

Internal energy is the sum of two energies:

(a) Thermal energy, which is the kinetic energy of molecules in random motion, and

(b) Potential energy of atoms.

  • Potential atomic energy arises from the atomic forces acting between the atoms of molecules and the intermolecular forces between molecules.
  • Total internal energy, E = kinetic energy (K.E.) + potential energy (P.E.).
  • The state function describes the equilibrium state of the system, as well as the system itself.
  • It is called the state function because the internal energy U is defined by the quantity that determines the state of the system at equilibrium. It is completely determined by the initial and final state of the system.
  • As the temperature of the system increases, the molecules move faster, resulting in an increase in kinetic energy and an increase in internal energy.
