Answer:

805.48N/m

Explanation:

According to Hookes law

F = Ke

F is the force = mg

F = 2.4×9.8 = 23.52N

e is the extension = 2.92cm = 0.0292m

Force constant K = F/e

K = 23.52/0.0292

K = 805.48N/m

Hence the force constant of the spring is 805.48N/m

A small block on a frictionless, horizontal surface has a mass of 0.0250 kg. It is attached to a massless cord passing through a
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

a) Yes

b) 7 rad/s

c) 0.01034 J

Explanation:

a)

Yes the angular momentum of the block is conserved since the net torque on the block is zero.

b)

m = mass of the block = 0.0250 kg

w₀ = initial angular speed before puling the cord = 1.75 rad/s

r₀ = initial radius before puling the cord = 0.3 m

w = final angular speed after puling the cord = ?

r = final  radius after puling the cord = 0.15 m

Using conservation of angular momentum

m r₀² w₀ = m r² w

r₀² w₀ = r² w

(0.3)² (1.75) = (0.15)² w

w = 7 rad/s

c)

Change in kinetic energy is given as

ΔKE = (0.5) (m r² w² - m r₀² w₀²)

ΔKE = (0.5) ((0.025) (0.15)² (7)² - (0.025) (0.3)² (1.75)²)

ΔKE = 0.01034 J

The size of the gravitational force between two objects depends on their__. frictional force, inertia, masses and the distance b
Inessa [10]

Answer:

Masses and distance between them

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two objects can be calculated using Newton's Gravitational Law.

However, using logic, we can already dictate what the answer will be, for example. We know that the bigger an object is, the stronger its gravity is. This can be seen with how the moon is much smaller, and also has much less gravity.

Also, the distance between two objects also influences the gravity. This can be seen the further an object gets from Earth, the less of a pull the gravitational field has on it. Another example is that Pluto (being very far from the sun) has less of a gravitational effect from the sun, in comparison to Mercury (the closest plant to the sun).

In a single-slit diffraction experiment, the slit is 0.1mm wide and is illuminatedby monochromatic light with a wavelength of 50
dem82 [27]

Answer:

0.1 m

Explanation:

d = slit width = 0.1 mm = 0.1 x 10⁻³ m

\lambda = wavelength of monochromatic light = 500 nm = 500 x 10⁻⁹ m

D = Distance of the screen = 10 m

w = Spacing between successive minima

Spacing between successive minima is given as

w = \frac{2D\lambda }{d}

Inserting the values given

w = \frac{2(10)(500\times10^{-9}) }{0.1\times10^{-3}}

w = 0.1 m
