Answer:

C) 388.07

Explanation:

It is a spring therefore, there must be Elastic potential energy. Now what is the formula for elastic potential energy? It is 1/2 *k *x^2

K=spring constant

x= displacement  

1/2=.5 (hate fractions)

Now, Displacement simply means (how much was it moved?) So, that means subtract.

87-20= 67   x=67

Next, do x^2 (so you don't make a mistake by squaring everything :)  )

67*67=4,489

NOW, do....

.5*1729*4,489=3,880,740.5

Now convert to Joules, I just did 3,880,740.5  / 10^3 = 3880.745

round to 3880.7 J

Suppose you wish to whirl a pail full of water in a vertical circle at a constant speed without spilling any of its contents (ev
Yanka [14]

Answer:

V = 2.87 m/s

Explanation:

The minimum speed required would be that at which the acceleration due to gravity is negated by the centrifugal force on the water.

Thus, we simply need to set the centripetal acceleration equal to gravity and solve for the speed V using the following equation:

Centripetal acceleration = V^2 / r

where r is the distance of water from the pivot or shoulder.

For our case, r will be 0.65 + 0.19 = 0.84 m

and solving the above equation we get:

9.81 = V^2 / 0.84

V^2 = 8.2404

V = 2.87 m/s

To calibrate the calorimeter electrically, a constant voltage of 3.6 V is applied and a current of 2.6 A flows for a period of 3
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

372.3 J/^{\circ}C

Explanation:

First of all, we need to calculate the total energy supplied to the calorimeter.

We know that:

V = 3.6 V is the voltage applied

I = 2.6 A is the current

So, the power delivered is

P=VI=(3.6)(2.6)=9.36 W

Then, this power is delivered for a time of

t = 350 s

Therefore, the energy supplied is

E=Pt=(9.36)(350)=3276 J

Finally, the change in temperature of an object is related to the energy supplied by

E=C\Delta T

where in this problem:

E = 3276 J is the energy supplied

C is the heat capacity of the object

\Delta T =29.1^{\circ}-20.3^{\circ}=8.8^{\circ}C is the change in temperature

Solving for C, we find:

C=\frac{E}{\Delta T}=\frac{3276}{8.8}=372.3 J/^{\circ}C

Which type of mountain is created when rock layers are pushed up by forces inside the Earth?
skad [1K]

Correct answer choice is :


B) Upwarped


Explanation:


An upwarped mountain is a mountain consisting of a large area of the Earth's coat that has led smoothly upward without much visible deformation and normally including sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks. Sedimentary rocks are set down in layers called beds or layers. A bed is described as a layer of rock that has a similar lithology and character. Beds form by the removal of layers of sand on top of each other.

John weighs 200 pounds.
In order to lift himself up to a higher place, he has to exert force of 200 lbs.

The stairs to the balcony are 20-ft high.
In order to lift himself to the balcony, John has to do
(20 ft) x (200 pounds)  =  4,000 foot-pounds of work.

If he does it in 6.2 seconds, his RATE of doing work is
(4,000 foot-pounds) / (6.2 seconds)  =  645.2 foot-pounds per second.

The rate of doing work is called "power".

(If we were working in the metric system (with SI units),
the force would be in "newtons", the distance would be in "meters",
1 newton-meter of work would be 1 "joule" of work, and
1 joule of work per second would be 1 "watt".
Too bad we're not working with metric units.)

So back to our problem.

John has to do 4,000 foot-pounds of work to lift himself up to the balcony,
and he's able to do it at the rate of 645.2 foot-pounds per second.

Well, 550 foot-pounds per second is called 1 "horsepower".

So as John runs up the steps to the balcony, he's doing the work
at the rate of

           (645.2 foot-pounds/second) / (550 ft-lbs/sec per HP)

=  1.173 Horsepower.  GO JOHN !

(I'll betcha he needs a shower after he does THAT 3 times.)
_______________________________________________

Oh my gosh !  Look at #26 !  There are the metric units I was talking about.

Do you need #26 ?

I'll give you the answers, but I won't go through the explanation,
because I'm doing all this for only 5 points.

a).  5
b).  750 Joules
c).  800 Joules
d).  93.75%

You're welcome.

And #27 is 0.667 m/s .
