Answer:

1) k = 10 [N/m]

2) a-) x = 0.4 [m]

b)  x = 0.075 [m]

Explanation:

To be able to solve this type of problems that include springs we must use Hooke's law, which relates the force to the deformed length of the spring and in the same way to the spring coefficient.

F = k*x

where:

F = force [N] (units of Newtons]

k = spring constant  [N/m]

x = distance = 10 [cm] = 0.1 [m]

Now, the weight is equal to the product of the mass by the gravity

W = m*g = F

where:

m = mass = 100 [g] = 0.1 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 10 [m/s²]

F = 0.1*10 = 1 [N]

Now clearing k

k = F/x

k = 1/0.1

k = 10 [N/m]

2)

a ) if the force is 4 [N]

clearing x

x = F/k

x = 4/10

x = 0.4 [m]

m = 75 [g] = 0.075 [kg]

W = m*g = F

F = 0.075*10 = 0.75 [N]

x = .75/10

x = 0.075 [m]

The central star of a planetary nebula emits ultraviolet light with wavelength 104nm. This light passes through a diffraction gr
Gala2k [10]

Answer: 31.33 degrees

Explanation:

The diffraction angles \theta_{n} when we have a slit divided into n parts are obtained by  the following equation:

dsin\theta_{n}=n\lambda   (1)

Where:

d is the width of the slit

\lambda  is the wavelength of the light

n is an integer different from zero.

Now, the first-order diffraction angle is given when n=1, hence equation (1) becomes:

dsin\theta_{1}=\lambda   (2)

Now we have to find the value of \theta_{1}:

sin\theta_{1}=\frac{\lambda}{d}  

\theta_{1}=arcsin(\frac{\lambda}{d})   (3)

We know:

\lambda=104nm=104(10)^{-9}m

In addition we are told the diffraction grating has 5000 slits per mm, this means:

d=\frac{1mm}{5000}=\frac{1(10)^{-3}m}{5000}

Substituting the known values in (3):

\theta_{1}=arcsin(\frac{104(10)^{-9}m}{\frac{1(10)^{-3}m}{5000}})

\theta_{1}=arcsin(0.52)

<u>Finally:</u>

\theta_{1}=31.33\º >>>This is the first-order diffraction angle

Why does magma rise from depth to the surface of the earth?
Viefleur [7K]

Answer

Magma is less dense compared to the surrounding rock.

the overlying rock creates pressure which forces the magma to be directed upward.

Explanation:

at high temperatures the magma is liquid form with the high energy which causes the formation of bonds and the pressure build up creates the increase  channeling of the liquid.as the temperature decreases the magma moves into the surface

A box is sliding down a ramp how many force vectors does the box have
vlada-n [284]
Well you’d have a force due to gravity, the normal force which will be perpendicular to the sources (meaning you’ll have components to this vector), and you’d have the force of friction opposing the motion of the box. I’m also assuming there’s no air resistance. In this case you’d have three vector forces.
