Answer:
A pair of oxygen atoms is a molecule of oxygen. A molecule is the smallest particle of a substance that exists independently. Molecules of most elements are made up of only one of atom of that element. Oxygen, along with nitrogen, hydrogen, and chlorine are made up of two atoms.
Explanation:
The amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of a substance by

is given by

where m is the mass of the substance, Cs is its specific heat capacity and

is the increase of temperature.
If we re-arrange the formula, we get

And if we plug the data of the problem into the equation, we can find the specific heat capacity of the substance:
Answer:
(a) The spring constant is 59.23 N/m
(b) The total energy involved in the motion is 0.06 J
Explanation:
Given;
mass, m = 240 g = 0.24 kg
frequency, f = 2.5 Hz
amplitude of the oscillation, A = 4.5 cm = 0.045 m
The angular speed is calculated as;
ω = 2πf
ω = 2 x π x 2.5
ω = 15.71 rad/s
(a) The spring constant is calculated as;

(b) The total energy involved in the motion;
E = ¹/₂kA²
E = (0.5) x (59.23) x (0.045)²
E = 0.06 J
Answer:
x = 0.4 m
Explanation:
When a spring is stretched from its equilibrium position. Some energy is stored in the spring. This energy is called the elastic potential energy of the spring. The formula used to calculate the magnitude of this stored energy is given as follows:
P.E = (1/2)kx²
where,
P.E = Elastic Potential Energy Stored in the spring = 45 J
k = Spring Constant = 540 N/m
x = amount of stretching = ?
Therefore,
45 J = (1/2)(540 N/m)x²
x² = (45 J)(2)/(540 N/m)
x = √(0.167 m²)
<u>x = 0.4 m</u>
