Answer:

1411.8 N/m

Explanation:

From Hooke's law;

F= Ke

Where

F= force on the spring

K= force constant

e = extension

But e= 8.50 × 10^-2m

F= weight = 12.0 kg × 10 = 120 N

K = F/e = 120/8.50 × 10^-2

K= 1411.8 N/m

A visitor to a lighthouse wishes to determine the height of the tower. She ties a spool of thread to a small rock to make a simp
masha68 [24]

To solve this problem we must rely on the equations of the simple harmonic movement that define the period as a function of length and gravity as

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}

Where

l = Length

g = Gravity

Re-arrange to find L,

L = g (\frac{T}{2\pi})^2

Our values are given as

g = 9.81m/s

T = 10.1s

Replacing,

L = g (\frac{T}{2\pi})^2

L = (9.81) (\frac{10.1}{2\pi})^2

L = 25.348m

Therefore the height would be 25.348m

A student read his right ear against his desk while Teacher talks loudly on the desk and can hear the tapping sound only through
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The student hears the wave that is transmitted by the desk

Explanation:

Mechanical waves need a material medium to be able to be transmitted, in the case of sound waves, one of the most common media is air, but it is also transmitted in other media in this case, stationery is transmitted.

The student hears the wave that is transmitted by the desk

The speed of the wave is proportional to the density of the material, so the wave that the student hears arrives much faster through the desk than through the air

A 12.7 L box is filled with 6.0 moles of Argon gas and cooled to a temperature of 210 K. What is the pressure?
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Gases are easily compressed. We can see evidence of this in Table 1 in Thermal Expansion of Solids and Liquids, where you will note that gases have the largest coefficients of volume expansion. The large coefficients mean that gases expand and contract very rapidly with temperature changes. In addition, you will note that most gases expand at the same rate, or have the same β. This raises the question as to why gases should all act in nearly the same way, when liquids and solids have widely varying expansion rates.
