Answer:

17.71N/m

Explanation:

The period of the spring is expressed according to the expression;

T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } \\

m is the mass of the object

k is the force constant

Given

m = 5.50kg

T = 3.50s

Substitute into the formula;

T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } \\3.5 = 2 (3.14) \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\3.5 = 6.28 \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\\frac{3.5}{6.28} =  \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\0.557 = \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\square \ both \ sides\\0.557^2 = (\sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} })^2 \\0.3106 = \frac{5,5}{k}\\k = \frac{5.5}{0.3106}\\k =  17.71N/m

Hence the force constant of the spring is 17.71N/m

The following three hot samples have the same temperature. The same amount of heat is removed from each sample. Which one experi
melomori [17]

Complete Question:

The following three hot samples have the same temperature. The same amount of heat is removed from each sample. Which one experiences the smallest drop in temperature, and which one experiences the largest drop? Sample A: 4.0 kg of water [c = 4186 J/(kg·C°)] Sample B: 2.0 kg of oil [c = 2700 J/(kg·C°)] Sample C: 9.0 kg of dirt [c = 1050 J/(kg·C°)]

Answer:

A. Smallest B. Largest.

Explanation:

Assuming no heat exchange except for the heat removed from any sample (which we know is the same for the three ones), and that the process is done using only conduction, we can use the equation that relates the heat lost or gained by one object, with the mass of the object and the consequent change in temperature, as follows:

Q = c*m*ΔT, where c, is a proportionality constant called specific heat, which is different for each material.

As we know that the heat removed is the same for the three samples, we can equate the right sides of the equation for each sample, as follows:

cw*mw*ΔTw = co*mo*ΔTo = cd*md*ΔTd

Replacing by the givens, we have:

4.0 kg. 4,186 J/kgºC*ΔT(ºC) = 2.0 kg*2,700 J/kgºC*ΔT(ºC) =9.0kg*1,050J/kgºC*ΔT(ºC)

As the three expressions must be equal each other, it's clear that the unknown term (the drop in temperature) must compensate the product of the mass times the specific heat.

This product is the following for the three samples:

Water: 4.0 kg*4,186 J/kgºC = 16,744 J/ºC

Oil : 2.0 kg*2,700 J/kgºC    = 5,400 J/ºC

Dirt: 9.0 * 1,050 J/kgºC        = 9,450 J/ºC

Clearly, we see that in order to keep the heat exchange equations equal each other, the water must suffer the smallest drop in temperature, and the oil must experience the largest one.

So, the sample A experiencies the smallest drop in temperature, and sample B does the largest one.

There are four charges, each with a magnitude of 4.25 C. Two are positive and two are negative. The charges are fixed to the cor
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

 F = 7.68 10¹¹ N,  θ = 45º

Explanation:

In this exercise we ask for the net electric force. Let's start by writing the configuration of the charges, the charges of the same sign must be on the diagonal of the cube so that the net force is directed towards the interior of the cube, see in the attached numbering and sign of the charges

The net force is

          F_ {net} = F₂₁ + F₂₃ + F₂₄

bold letters indicate vectors. The easiest method to solve this exercise is by using the components of each force.

let's use trigonometry

          cos 45 = F₂₄ₓ / F₂₄

          sin 45 = F_{24y) / F₂₄

          F₂₄ₓ = F₂₄ cos 45

          F_{24y} = F₂₄ sin 45

let's do the sum on each axis

X axis

          Fₓ = -F₂₁ + F₂₄ₓ

          Fₓ = -F₂₁₁ + F₂₄ cos 45

Y axis  

         F_y = - F₂₃ + F_{24y}

         F_y = -F₂₃ + F₂₄ sin 45

They indicate that the magnitude of all charges is the same, therefore

         F₂₁ = F₂₃

Let's use Coulomb's law

         F₂₁ = k q₁ q₂ / r₁₂²

       

the distance between the two charges is

         r = a

         F₂₁ = k q² / a²

we calculate F₂₄

           F₂₄ = k q₂ q₄ / r₂₄²

the distance is

           r² = a² + a²

           r² = 2 a²

         

we substitute

           F₂₄ = k  q² / 2 a²

we substitute in the components of the forces

          Fx = - k \frac{q^2}{a^2} +  k \frac{q^2}{2 a^2}  \ cos 45

          Fx = k \frac{q^2}{a^2}  ( -1 + ½ cos 45)

          F_y = k \frac{q^2}{a^2} ( -1 +  ½ sin 45)    

         

We calculate

            F₀ = 9 10⁹ 4.25² / 0.440²

            F₀ = 8.40 10¹¹ N

       

            Fₓ = 8.40 10¹¹ (½ 0.707 - 1)

            Fₓ = -5.43 10¹¹ N

         

remember cos 45 = sin 45

             F_y = - 5.43 10¹¹  N

We can give the resultant force in two ways

a) F = Fₓ î + F_y ^j

          F = -5.43 10¹¹ (i + j)   N

b) In the form of module and angle.

For the module we use the Pythagorean theorem

          F = \sqrt{F_x^2 + F_y^2}

          F = 5.43 10¹¹  √2

          F = 7.68 10¹¹ N

in angle is

           θ = 45º
