Recall that in the equilibrium position, the upward force of the spring balances the force of gravity on the weight. Use this co

ncept, along with the variable mass value, the ruler, and the moveable line, to estimate the spring constant k of the spring. Set the damping to "Lots" so that the mass will come to rest quickly after being changed, and make sure the gravity is set to "Earth." Finally, set the spring constant to "Small." Estimate the spring constant several times (using different values of mass) and average together for the most accurate calculation.

Recall that in the equilibrium position, the upward force of the spring balances the force of gravity on the weight is given below.

Explanation:

Measure unstretched length of spring, L.  E.g. L = 0.60m.

Set mass to a convenient value (e.g. m = 0.5kg).

Hang mass.

Measure new spring length, L'. E.g. L' = 0.70m.

Calculate extension: e = L' - L = 0.70 – 0.60 = 0.10m

Use mg = ke (in equilibrium weight = tension)

k = mg/e

Don't know what value you are using for example.  Suppose it is 10N/kg (same thing as 10m/s²).

k = 0.5*10/0.10 = 50 N/m

Repeat for a few different masses.  (L always stays the same.)

Take the average of your k values.

Ber [7]

Answer:

4.41 × 10¹² J, 2.72 × 10³ m³, 0.907 × 10 ⁻³ m

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy = mgh

where m is mass in kg, g is acceleration due to gravity in m/s², and h is the distance from the base of the dam.

mass of the surface water = density of water × volume of water × 1 m = 1000 kg / m³ × 3.0 × 10⁶ m² × 1 m = 3 × 10⁹ kg

Gravitational potential energy = 3 × 10⁹ kg × 9.81 m/s² × 150 m = 4.41 × 10¹² J

b)what volume of water must pass through the dam to produce 1000 kw-hrs

1 000 kw-hr = 3.6 × 10 ⁹ J

the dam has mechanical energy conversion of 90% to electrical energy

Gravitational potential energy needed = 3.6 × 10 ⁹ J / 0.9 = 4 × 10⁹ J

mass of water needed = Energy  required / g h =  4 × 10⁹ J / (9.81 m/s² × 150 m) = 2.718 × 10 ⁶ kg

density = mass / volume

volume = mass / density =  2.718 × 10 ⁶ kg / (1000 kg/ m³) = 2.72 × 10³ m³

the distance the level of  the water in the lake fell = volume / area =  2.72 × 10³ m³ / (3.0×10⁶ m²) = 0.907 × 10 ⁻³ m

For the meter stick shown in figure 10-4, the force F1 10.0 N acts at 10.0 cm. What is the magnitude of torque due to F1 about a
Phantasy [73]

Torque is equal position vector times (r) times force vector (F).  Since F= 10 N and r = 0.1 m, so the torque is equal to (10 N) x ( 0.1 m) = 1Nm. The direction of the torque would be into the screen, clockwise rotation.

If you calculate the thermal power radiated by typical objects at room temperature, you will find surprisingly large values, sev
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

best explanation of this is sentence B

Explanation:

The radiation emission of the bodies is given by the expression

     P = σ A e T⁴

Where P is the power emitted in watts, σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, A is the surface area of ​​the body, e is the emissivity for black body e = 1 and T is the absolute body temperature in degrees Kelvin.

When the values ​​are substituted the power is quite high 2.5 KW, but the medium surrounding the box also emits radiation

   T box ≈ T room

    P box ≈ P room

As the two powers are similar and the box can absorbed, since it has the ability to emit and absorb radiation, as the medium is also close of the temperature of the box, the amount emitted is very similar to that absorbed, so the net change in energy is very small.

   In the case that the box is much hotter or colder than the surrounding medium if there is a significant net transfer.

Consequently, the best explanation of this is sentence B
