Answer:

<em> The distance required = 16.97 cm</em>

Explanation:

Hook's Law

From Hook's law, the potential energy stored in a stretched spring

E = 1/2ke² ......................... Equation 1

making e the subject of the equation,

e = √(2E/k)........................ Equation 2

Where E = potential Energy of the stretched spring, k = elastic constant of the spring, e = extension.

Given: k = 450 N/m, e = 12 cm = 0.12 m.

E = 1/2(450)(0.12)²

E = 225(0.12)²

E = 3.24 J.

When the potential energy is doubled,

I.e E = 2×3.24

E = 6.48 J.

Substituting into equation 2,

e = √(2×6.48/450)

e = √0.0288

e = 0.1697 m

<em>e = 16.97 cm</em>

<em>Thus the distance required = 16.97 cm</em>

docker41 [41]

Answer:

Magnetic field at the center of the loop B=5.89\times 10^{-5}\ T.

Explanation:

It is given that total length of wire is 2 m and number of circular loop is 5 turns.

Therefore ,

5\times ( 2\pi r)=2 \ m .\\\\r=\dfrac{1}{5 \pi}=0.064\ m.

We know , magnetic field at the center of loop is given by :

B=N\dfrac{\mu_o i}{2r}

Putting all values in above equation we get :

B=5\times \dfrac{4\pi\times 10^{-7}\times 1.2}{2\times 0.064}\\\\B=5.89\times 10^{-5}\ T.

Hence , this is the required solution.

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. Match the sentences with the steps of the scientific method
Assoli18 [71]

Solution:

Make an Observation - An indoor plant in a dark room withers faster than the same plant in a room with ample sunlight.

Ask a question- Why do certain indoor plants die faster based on where they are placed in the house?

State a hypothesis- Sunlight is probably essential for plants to grow and live.

Run an experiment- Get two potted plants. Cover one with black paper. Place both plants outside in sunlight. See what happens to each plant after one week.

Analyze the results-The plant in the pot with black paper withered. The other plant was healthy.

Communicate the results to others - Plants need sunlight to make food so they can live.

padilas [110]

Answer:

 a)    λ = 189.43 10⁻⁹ m  b)    λ = 269.19 10⁻⁹ m

Explanation:

The diffraction network is described by the expression

      d sin θ= m λ

Where m corresponds to the diffraction order

Let's use trigonometry to find the breast

        tan θ = y / L

The diffraction spectrum is measured at very small angles, therefore

      tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = sin θ

We replace

      d y / L = m λ

Let's place in the first order m = 1

Let's look for the separation of the lines (d)

     d = λ  L / y

     d = 501 10⁻⁹ 9.95 10⁻² / 15 10⁻²

     d = 332.33 10⁻⁹ m

Now we can look for the wavelength of the other line

     λ  = d y / L

    λ  = 332.33 10⁻⁹ 8.55 10⁻²/15 10⁻²

    λ = 189.43 10⁻⁹ m

Part B

The compound wavelength B

      λ  = 332.33 10⁻⁹ 12.15 10⁻² / 15 10⁻²

      λ = 269.19 10⁻⁹ m

otez555 [7]

Answer:

0.647 nC

Explanation:

The force experienced by a charge due to the presence of an electric field is given by

F=qE

where

q is the charge

E is the magnitude of the electric field

In this problem, each antenna is modelled as it was a single point charge, experiencing a force of

F=5.50\mu N = 5.50\cdot 10^{-6} N

Therefore, if the electric field magnitude is

E=8.50 kN/C = 8500 N/C

Then the charge on each antenna would be

q=\frac{F}{E}=\frac{5.50\cdot 10^{-6} N}{8500 N/C}=6.47\cdot 10^{-10} C = 0.647 nC

nalin [4]

Answer:

u_x=38.13\ m/s

Explanation:

Given that initially ball moves in the horizontal direction ,it means that the velocity in the vertical direction is zero.

Horizontal distance = 13 m

Vertical distance = 57 cm

Lets take time to cover 57 cm distance in vertical direction is t.

We know that g is the constant acceleration in the vertical direction so we can apply the equation of motion in the vertical direction.

S=u_yt+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

Here u_y=0

S= 57 cm

0.57=0\times t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2

t=0.34 s

Now in the horizontal direction

x=u_xt

Here x=13 m

t= 0.34 s

So

13=u_x\times 0.34

u_x=38.13\ m/s

So the initial speed of ball is 38.13 m/s.
