Answer:

Δx = 1.2 m

Explanation:

The CHANGE of spring length) (Δx) can be found using PS = ½kΔx²

Δx = √(2PS/k) = √(2(450)/650) = 1.17669... ≈ 1.2 m

The actual length of the spring is unknown as it varies with material type, construction method, extension or compression, and other variables we have no clue about.

docker41 [41]

Answer:

Explanation: according to Coulomb's inverse-square law is proportional to the square of distance between them and is given by

$F=k\frac{q_0q_1}{r^2}$

where r is the distance between the charges & k is the Coulomb's constant

k=1/(4*ε_0*π)

k=9*10^9

the distance between the charges in this question is d_1

hence the magnitude of the force exerted by q_0 on q_1 is given by

$F=k\frac{q_0q_1}{d_1^2}$

due to location of particle 1 above the particle 0 the direction of force is parallel to y axis and in vector form

$F=k\frac{q_0q_1}{d_1^2} j$

A tennis ball moving at a speed of 4 m/s, collides with a bowling ball at rest. The tennis ball bounces back in the direction op

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Both experienced the same magnitude impulse

Explanation:

This is because, the impulse force is internal to the system of both the tennis ball and the bowling ball. It is an action-reaction pair. So, the force exerted on the tennis ball by the bowling ball equals in magnitude to the force exerted by the tennis ball on the bowling ball although, they are in opposite directions. This, both experienced the same magnitude impulse.

An unknown substance has a mass of 11.9 g . When the substance absorbs 1.071×102 J of heat, the temperature of the substance is

Mashcka [7]

Answer: The most likely identity of the substance is iron.

Explanation:

The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat capacity.

$Q=m\times c\times \Delta T$

Q = Heat absorbed= $1.071\times 10^2$ Joules

m= mass of substance = 11.9 g

c = specific heat capacity = ?

Initial temperature of the water = $T_i$ = 25.0°C

Final temperature of the water = $T_f$ = 45.0°CChange in temperature , $\Delta T=T_f-T_i=(45-25)^0C=20^0C$

Putting in the values, we get:

$1.071\times 10^2=11.9\times c\times 20^0C$

$c=0.45J/g^0C$

The specific heat of 0.45 is for iron and thus the substance is iron.

Why would knowing the characteristics of circuits be important in designing electrical circuits?

blondinia [14]

The characteristic of a circuit actually indicate how the circuit functions. When one designs a circuit they have a specific function in mind and must know how to combine components in order to fulfill this functions.
