An ideal spring with spring constant k is hung from the ceiling. The initial length of the spring, with nothing attached to the

free end, is 15.0 cm. When an object of mass m is attached to the free end of the spring, the spring stretches to a final length of 30.0 cm. If k = 3.5 N/cm, what is the mass m of the object?

The mass m of the object = 5.25 kg

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

k = spring constant = 3.5 N/cm

Δx= 30 cm - 15 cm = 15 cm

Required

the mass m

Solution

F=m.g

Hooke's Law

F = k.Δx

\tt m.g=k.\Delta x\\\\m.10=3.5\times 15\\\\m=5.25~kg

How long (in ns) does it take light to travel 1.0 m in vacuum?
Tema [17]
If light travels 290,000,000 meters in 1 second, simply divide 1 second by 290,000,000 to find the time it takes to travel 1 meter.

1 / 290,000,000 = 0.000000003448 seconds (<em>or 3.5 nano seconds</em>)

The weight of a 630 g piece of ham is _____.
Pachacha [2.7K]
The weight of an object is given by:
F=mg
where
F is the weight
m is the mass of the object
g=9.81 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration

The piece of ham in this problem has a mass of
m=630 g = 0.63 kg
therefore its weight is
F=mg=(0.63 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=6.18 N

Miles Tugo is camping in Glacier Canyon and he makes a loud holler. The sound bounces off the nearest canyon wall (which is loca
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

It would take 1 s to hear the echo.

Explanation:

Here, the sound covered a total of 340 meters, since it bounces off the canyon wall and travels back to Miles in the form of echo.

The time elapsed can be determined by,

v = \frac{2D}{t}

⇒ t = \frac{2D}{v}

where: v is the speed of sound in air (343 m/s), D is the distance of the nearest canyon (170 m).

So that,

2D = 2 x 170 = 340 m

Thus,

t = \frac{340}{343}

 = 0.9913 s

t = 1 s

It takes 1s for Miles to hear his echo.

Just about everyone at one time or another has been burned by hot water or steam. This problem compares the heat input to your s
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

H1 = 63.3 kJ

Explanation:

Given:

ΔL = 2.256 kJ/g

Cp = 4190J/kg⋅K

Steam at 100°C in contact with your skin, condenses to water at 100°C. Therefore,

Q = M × ΔL

= (25.0 g)(2.256 kJ/g)

= 56.4 kJ

This condensed water at 100°C is then cooled to 34°C. The heat involved with this temperature change is;

Q = m × Cp × ΔT

= (25 × 1kg/1000g × 4190 × (100°C - 34°C)

= 6913.5 J

= 6.914 kJ

The total heat H1,

= (56.4 kJ) + (6.9135 kJ)

= 63.3 kJ.
