Answer:

potential energy = mgh

= 400÷1000 × 10× 4÷100

= 0.4 × 10 × 0.04

=4/10 ×10×4/100

= 4/10 × 4/10

=16/100

= 0.16 joules

m1 (400) stretches 4cm

m1 (100g) stretches 1cm

so, m2(800g) stretches 8 cm

potential energy of m2 = mgh

= 800/1000 ×10×8/100

= 0.8 × 0.8

=8/10 ×8/10

= 64/100

=0.64 joules

Ratio of s1 to s2

16/100 ÷ 64/100

= 1:4 ( answer)

If 0.600 mol of a nonvolatile nonelectrolyte are dissolved in 3.70 mol of water, what is the vapor pressure ph2o of the resultin
fredd [130]

To get the vapor pressure of the resulting solution, we use the Raoult’s Law:

Psolution = (χsolvent) (P°solvent)

 

1st: Calculate the mol fraction of the solvent. In this case, water is the solvent.

χsolvent = 3.7 mol / (3.7 mol + 0.6 mol)

χsolvent = 0.86

<span>2nd: Calculate the vapor pressure.</span>

Psolution = (0.86) (23.8 torr)

Psolution<span> = 20.48 torr</span>

A 120.0 kg crate is placed on a 15.00°
Citrus2011 [14]

F = 2820.1 N

Explanation:

Let the (+)x-axis be up along the slope. The component of the weight of the crate along the slope is -mgsin15° (pointing down the slope). The force that keeps the crate from sliding is F. Therefore, we can write Newton's 2nd law along the x-axis as

Fnet = ma = 0 (a = 0 no sliding)

= F - mgsin15°

= 0

or

F = mgsin15°

= (120 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)sin15°

= 2820.1 N
