The outer surface of the glass expands faster than the inside surface since glass is a fairly good thermal insulator. The outer surface tries to expand without the inner surface doing so at the same time. This is the secret of Pyrex glass. It is more conductive to heat and the inner and outer surface expand (and contract) at the same time.

Nezavi [6.7K]

This is the photoelectric effect, and it is best explained by the particle model of light.

<h3>What is the photoelectric effect?</h3>

The photoelectric effect refers to the emission of negatively charged particles and electromagnetic radiation that hits an object.

The photoelectric effect shows how electrons can be released from a given object when this material is absorbing electromagnetic radiation.

The photoelectric effect is a fundamental piece of evidence for understanding the nature of light particles.

A mass is attached to a spring with an unknown spring constant. The spring gains 10 J of elastic potential energy if stretched b
Firlakuza [10]

From the given information in the question, the correct option is Option 1: 14 cm.

A non-stretched elastic spring has a conserved potential energy which gives it the ability to perform work. The elastic potential energy can be expressed as:

PE = \frac{1}{2} k x^{2}

Where PE is the energy, k is the spring constant and x is extension.

i. Given that: PE = 10 J and x = 10 cm, then;

PE = \frac{1}{2} k x^{2}

10 = \frac{1}{2} k 10^{2}

20 = 100k

k = 0.2 J/cm

ii. To determine how far the spring is needed to be stretched, given that PE = 20 J.

PE = \frac{1}{2} k x^{2}

20 = \frac{1}{2} (0.2) x^{2}

40 = 0.2 x^{2}

x^{2} = 200

x = \sqrt{200}

  = 14.1421

x = 14.14 cm

So that;

x is approximately 14.00 cm.

Thus, the spring need to be stretched to 14.00 cm to give the spring 20 J of elastic potential energy.
