As a student in a physics lab, you are asked to classify two springs. Right away you notice some differences. The first spring,

spring 1, is very easy to compress and pliable. The second spring, spring 2, is stiffer and more difficult to deform. What qualitative statement can you make about their spring constants?
A. No inference can be made, the student needs to take a measurement.
B. The spring constant of spring 1 is larger than spring 2.
C. The spring constant of spring 2 is larger than spring 1.
D. The spring constants are the same because spring 1 has more displacement, while spring 2 requires more force.

Answer:

C. The spring constant of spring 2 is larger than spring 1.

Explanation:

As we know that spring constant also called the stiffness constant of a spring is the value of force required for the deformation of the spring by a unit length.

Mathematically given as:

k=\frac{F}{\delta x}

where:

k= stiffness constant

F= force on the spring

\delta x= change in length of the spring

It is given in the question that spring 1 is easily compressible and requires less force to compress as compared to spring 2 and hence it has lesser stiffness constant than that of spring 2.

Help me with the question in the image I provided​
inna [77]

Answer: 10 s, 30 m/s , 150 m

Explanation:

Given

The speed of motorcyclist is  u_1=15\ m/s

The initial speed of a police motorcycle is u_2=0\ m/s

acceleration of police motorcycle is a=3\ m/s^2

Police will catch the motorcyclist when they traveled equal distances

distance traveled by motorcyclist in time t is

\Rightarrow s_1=15\times t

Distance traveled by Police in time t is

\Rightarrow s_2=u_2t+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s_2=0+0.5\times 3\times t^2

put s_1=s_2

\Rightarrow 15t=0.5\times 3\times t^2\\\\\Rightarrow t(1.5t-15)=0\\\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{15}{1.5}=10\ s

Police officer's speed at that time is

\Rightarrow v_2=u_2+at\\\Rightarrow v_2=0+3\times 10=30\ m/s

Distance traveled by each vehicle is

\Rightarrow s_1=s_2=15\times t=15\times 10=150\ m

A string along which waves can travel is 4.36 m long and has a mass of 222 g. The tension in the string is 60.0 N. What must be
lora16 [44]

Answer:

frequency is 195.467 Hz

Explanation:

given data

length L = 4.36 m

mass m = 222 g = 0.222 kg

tension T = 60 N

amplitude A = 6.43 mm = 6.43 × 10^{-3} m

power P = 54 W

to find out

frequency f

solution

first we find here density of string that is

density ( μ )= m/L ................1

μ = 0.222 / 4.36  

density μ is 0.050 kg/m

and speed of travelling wave

speed v = √(T/μ)       ...............2

speed v = √(60/0.050)

speed v = 34.64 m/s

and we find wavelength by power that is

power = μ×A²×ω²×v  /  2     ....................3

here ω is wavelength put value

54 = ( 0.050 ×(6.43 × 10^{-3})²×ω²× 34.64 )   /  2

0.050 ×(6.43 × 10^{-3})²×ω²× 34.64 = 108

ω² = 108 / 7.160  × 10^{-5}

ω = 1228.16 rad/s

so frequency will be

frequency = ω / 2π

frequency = 1228.16 / 2π

frequency is 195.467 Hz

If we were to illuminate them only with light from the Balmer transition considered above, would the solar panels produce a curr
Ugo [173]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The reason why no current is produced are basically that, the wavelengths of light in the Balmer transition are reflected, not absorbed in solar panels, hence no current is produced.

The Balmer series consists of lines in the visible spectrum. It corresponds to emission of a photon of light when electrons descend from higher energy levels to the n=2 level in the hydrogen spectrum. The various wavelengths in the Balmer series can be separated by a prism since they are all in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

In solar panels, light corresponding to the wavelengths in the Balmer series is merely reflected by the panel and not absorbed. Since light is not absorbed, no current can be produced when the panel is irradiated with light corresponding to the wavelengths in the Balmer series.
