The drawing shows three identical springs hanging from the ceiling. Nothing is attached to the first spring, whereas a 4.50-N bl

ock hangs from the second spring. A block of unknown weight hangs from the third spring. From the drawing, determine (a) the spring constant (in N/m) and (b) the weight of the block hanging from the third spring

Answer:

a. 30 N / m

b. 9.0 N

Explanation:

Given that

Unstretched length of the spring, $L_o$ = 20.0cm = 0.2m

a) When the mass of 4.5N is hanging from the second spring, then extended length Is

$L_1$ = 35.0cm = 0.35m

So, the change in spring length when mass hangs is

$x = L_1 - L_o$

= (0.35 - 0.20) m

= 0.15m

As spring are identical

Let us assume that the spring constant be "k", so at equilibrium

Restoring Force on spring = Block weightage

kx = W = 4.50

$k= \frac{4.50}{x} = \frac{4.50}{0.15}$

= 30 N / m

b) Now for the third spring, stretched the length of spring is

$L_2$ = 50cm = 0.5m

So, the change in spring length is

$x'= L_2 - L_o$

= (0.5-0.20)m

= 0.30m

At equilibrium,

Restoring Force on spring = Block weightage

Now using all mentioned and computed values in above,

$W'= kx'$

= 30(0.3)

= 9.0 N

A 2.5-L tank initially is empty, and we want to fill it with 10 g of ammonia. The ammonia comes from a line with saturated vapor

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

592.92 x 10³ Pa

Explanation:

Mole of ammonia required = 10 g / 17 =0 .588 moles

We shall have to find pressure of .588 moles of ammonia at 30 degree having volume of 2.5 x 10⁻³ m³. We can calculate it as follows .

From the relation

PV = nRT

P x 2.5 x 10⁻³ = .588 x 8.32 x ( 273 + 30 )

P = 592.92 x 10³ Pa

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

Two marbles are launched at t = 0 in the experiment illustrated in the figure below. Marble 1 is launched horizontally with a speed of 4.20 m/s from a height h = 0.950 m. Marble 2 is launched from ground level with a speed of 5.94 m/s at an angle above the horizontal. (a) Where would the marbles collide in the absence of gravity? Give the x and y coordinates of the collision point. (b) Where do the marbles collide given that gravity produces a downward acceleration of g = 9.81 m/s2? Give the x and y coordinates.

If you are lying down and stand up quickly, you can get dizzy or feel faint. This is because the blood vessels don't have time t

sammy [17]

Complete Question

If you are lying down and stand up quickly, you can get dizzy or feel faint. This is because the blood vessels don’t have time to expand to compensate for the blood pressure drop. If your brain is 0.4 m higher than your heart when you are standing, how much lower is your blood pressure at your brain than it is at your heart? The density of blood plasma is about 1025 kg/m3 and a typical maximum (systolic) pressure of the blood at the heart is 120 mm of Hg (= 0.16 atm = 16 kP = 1.6 × 104 N/m2).

Answer:

The pressure at the brain is $P_b = 89.872 \ mm \ of \ Hg$

Explanation:

Generally is mathematically denoted as

$P = \rho gh$

Substituting $1025 kg/m^3$ for $\rho$ (the density) , $9.8 m/s^2$ for g (acceleration due to gravity) , 0.4m for h (the height )

We have that the pressure difference between the heart and the brain is

$P = 1025 * 9.8 *0.4$

$= 4018 N/m^2$

But the pressure of blood at the heart is given as

$P_h=120 mm of Hg =$ $120 * 133 = 1.59*10^3Pa$

Now the pressure at the brain is mathematically evaluated as

$P_b = P_h - P$

$= 1.596*10^4 - 4018$

$= 11982 N/m^2$

$P_b= \frac{11982}{133} = 89.872 \ mm \ of \ Hg$

Assuming motion is on a straight path, what would result in two positive components of a vector?

Aliun [14]

Answer: option <span>A) a train moving north of east at an angle of 25°
</span>

Explanation:

1) You need to choose your axis. In this case North is vertical and positive, South is vertical and negative, East is horizontal and positive, and West is horizontal and negative.

2) The vector with the two positive components is a vector in the first quadrant (North and East). That is what North of East 25° means.

3) Regarding the other options:

<span>B) a bus moving North of East at an angle of 95°: since the angle is greater tnan 90° the vector is in the second quadrant: its horizontal component is negative.
</span>
<span /><span>
</span><span> C) a boat moving South of West at an angle of 40°: this is in the third quadrant: the two components are negative.</span>
<span /><span>
</span><span> D) a car moving south of west at an angle of 10°: as in the option C), this is in the third quadrant: the two components are negative.
