Answer:

The spring constant is 171.43 N/m.

Explanation:

compression in spring, x = 0.07 m

force, F = 12 N

Let the spring constant is K.

Use the formula of the restoring force of the spring

F = K x

12 = K (0.07)

K = 171.43 N/m

If a shuttle is orbiting a planet at a distance of 40 miles from the center of the planet, and is traveling at a rate of 500 mil
lawyer [7]

Answer:

Time taken, t = 30.15 minutes

Explanation:

It is given that,

Distance from the center of planet, r = 40 miles

Speed of the shuttle, v = 500 miles per hour

Let t is the time taken by it to complete  one full orbit. The displacement of the shuttle is,

d=2\pi r

d=2\pi \times 40

d = 251.32 miles

Now time can be calculated using the expression for the velocity as :

v=\dfrac{d}{t}

t=\dfrac{d}{v}

t=\dfrac{251.32\ miles}{500\ miles\ per\ hour}

t = 0.50264 hours

or

t = 30.15 minutes

So, the shuttle will take 30.15 minutes to complete one full orbit. Hence, this is the required solution.

Alfred Wegener believed that all of the continents were originally attached! By looking at the map, you can see that Africa and South America look like they were once joined. This 'super continent' was known as Pangaea. He also found fossils that proved his point.
Hope this helps :)

When light with a wavelength of 221 nm is incident on a certain metal surface, electrons are ejected with a maximum kinetic ener
vodomira [7]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

When light with a wavelength of 221 nm is incident on a certain metal surface, electrons are ejected with a maximum kinetic energy of 3.28 × 10⁻¹⁹ J. Determine the wavelength (in nm) of light that should be used to double the maximum kinetic energy of the electrons ejected from this surface.

Answer:

the required wavelength of light is 161.9 nm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Let us represent work function of the metal by W.

Now, using Einstein photoelectric effect equation;

E_{proton = W + K_{max

hc/λ = W + K_{max ------- let this be equation 1

we solve for W

W = hc/λ - K_{max

given that; λ = 221 nm = 2.21 × 10⁻⁷ m, K_{max= 3.28 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

we know that speed of light c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s and Planck's constant h = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ Js.

so we substitute

W = [( (6.626 × 10⁻³⁴)(3 × 10⁸) )/2.21 × 10⁻⁷ ] -  3.28 × 10⁻¹⁹

W =  8.99457 × 10⁻¹⁹ -   3.28 × 10⁻¹⁹

W = 5.71457 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

Now, to determine λ for which maximum kinetic energy is double

so;

K'_{max = double = 2( 3.28 × 10⁻¹⁹ J ) = 6.56 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

from from equation 1

we solve for λ'

λ' = hc / W + K'_{max

we substitute

λ' = ( (6.626 × 10⁻³⁴)(3 × 10⁸) ) / ( (5.71457 × 10⁻¹⁹ J) + ( 6.56 × 10⁻¹⁹ J ))

λ' = 1.9878 × 10⁻²⁴ /  1.227457 × 10⁻¹⁸

λ' =  1.619 × 10⁻⁷ m

λ' =  161.9 nm

Therefore, the required wavelength of light is 161.9 nm
