Answer:

2697.75N/m

Explanation:

Step one

This problem bothers on energy stored in a spring.

Step two

Given data

Compression x= 2cm

To meter = 2/100= 0.02m

Mass m= 0.01kg

Height h= 5.5m

K=?

Let us assume g= 9.81m/s²

Step three

According to the principle of conservation of energy

We know that the the energy stored in a spring is

E= 1/2kx²

1/2kx²= mgh

Making k subject of formula we have

kx²= 2mgh

k= 2mgh/x²

k= (2*0.01*9.81*5.5)/0.02²

k= 1.0791/0.0004

k= 2697.75N/m

Hence the spring constant k is 2697.75N/m

What is the advantage of the SI unit over CGS units?

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The advantage of the SI unit over CGS unit are:

S.I has broader base. It has seven base units and two supplementary units.
S.I is metric.
S.I is coherent.
S.I is rational, i.e. it gives one unit for one physical quantity .e g. for energy of any type i.e, mechanical or heat or electrical.There is only one unit Joule(J) but in M.K.S system unit for mechanical energy is joule.

The food calorie, equal to 4186J , is a measure of how much energy is released when food is metabolized by the body. A certain b

vovangra [49]

<h2>The hiker will go up to 850 m on the hill</h2>

Explanation:

The total energy gained by the hiker = 140 x 4186 J

This energy is consumed in the potential energy acquired , while climbing up the hill.

The potential energy P.E = mass of hiker x acceleration due to gravity x height

Thus

140 x 4186 = 69 x 10 x h

or h = $\frac{4186x140}{69x10}$ = 850 m

If the 20% of the total energy is used

the height h₀ = $\frac{0.2x4186x140}{69x10}$ = 170 m

A shift in one fringe in the Michelson-Morley experiment corresponds to a change in the round-trip travel time along one arm of

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Explanation:

When Michelson-Morley apparatus is turned through $90^{o}$ then position of two mirrors will be changed. The resultant path difference will be as follows.

$\frac{lv^{2}}{\lambda c^{2}} - (-\frac{lv^{2}}{\lambda c^{2}}) = \frac{2lv^{2}}{\lambda c^{2}}$

Formula for change in fringe shift is as follows.

n = $\frac{2lv^{2}}{\lambda c^{2}}$

$v^{2} = \frac{n \lambda c^{2}}{2l}$

v = $\sqrt{\frac{n \lambda c^{2}}{2l}}$

According to the given data change in fringe is n = 1. The data is Michelson and Morley experiment is as follows.

l = 11 m

$\lambda = 5.9 \times 10^{-7} m$

c = $3.0 \times 10^{8}$ m/s

Hence, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

v = $\sqrt{\frac{n \lambda c^{2}}{2l}}$

= $\sqrt{\frac{1 \times (5.9 \times 10^{-7} m) \times (3.0 \times 10^{8})^{2}}{2 \times 11 m}}$

= $2.41363 \times 10^{9} m/s$

Thus, we can conclude that velocity deduced is $2.41363 \times 10^{9} m/s$ .

Suppose you wanted to hold up an electron against the force of gravity by the attraction of a fixed proton some distance above i

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The value is $r = 5.077 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The Coulomb constant is $k = 9.0 *10^{9} \ N\cdot m^2 /C^2$

The charge on the electron/proton is $e = 1.6*10^{-19} \ C$

The mass of proton $m_{proton} = 1.67*10^{-27} \ kg$

The mass of electron is $m_{electron } = 9.11 *10^{-31} \ kg$

Generally for the electron to be held up by the force gravity

Then

Electric force on the electron = The gravitational Force

i.e

$m_{electron} * g = \frac{ k * e^2 }{r^2 }$

$\frac{9*10^9 * (1.60 *10^{-19})^2 }{r^2 } = 9.11 *10^{-31 } * 9.81$

$r = \sqrt{25.78}$

$r = 5.077 \ m$

klasskru [66]

Answer:

a. $a. \ \frac{7}{25}$

$b.\ \ \ P(D_1D_2)=\frac{6}{25}$

Explanation:

a. Find the probability that exactly one photo detector of a pair is acceptable:

Let $A_i=i^{th}$ photo is accepted and the probability $D_i=i^{th}$ is defected.

Therefore:

$P(A_i)=3/5,\ P(A_2|A_1)=4/5,\ \ P(A_2|D_1)=2/5\\\\\\=P(A_1D_2)+P(D_1A_2)\\\\=\frac{3}{5}\times\frac{1}{5}+\frac{2}{5}\times\frac{2}{5}\\\\=\frac{7}{25}$

#The probability of exactly one photo detector of a pair is accepted is 7/25

b.Find the probability that both photo detectors in a pair are defective,P(D1D2):

$P(D_1D_2)=\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{3}{5}\\\\=\frac{6}{25}$

Hence, from out tree diagram,the probability that both photo detectors in a pair are defective is 6/25
