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

Think about how geothermal energy is captured and used. Explain how geothermal energy shows the flow of thermal energy from hot

kumpel [21]

Answer:

People can capture geothermal energy through: Geothermal power plants, which use heat from deep inside the Earth to generate steam to make electricity. Geothermal heat pumps, which tap into heat close to the Earth's surface to heat water or provide heat for buildings

When the weather is cold, the water or refrigerant heats up as it travels through the part of the loop that's buried underground. Once it gets back above ground, the warmed water or refrigerant transfers heat into the building. The water or refrigerant cools down after its heat is transferred.

A uniform sphere with mass M and radius R is rotating with angular speed ω1 about a frictionless axle along a diameter of the sp

liq [111]

Answer:

$W_2=\sqrt{\frac{3}{5} }W_1$

Explanation:

For the first ball, the moment of inertia and the kinetic energy is:

$I_1 =\frac{2}{5}MR^2$

$K_1 = \frac{1}{2}IW_1^2$

So, replacing, we get that:

$K_1 = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{5}MR^2)W_1^2$

At the same way, the moment of inertia and kinetic energy for second ball is:

$I_2 =\frac{2}{3}MR^2$

$K_2 = \frac{1}{2}IW_2^2$

So:

$K_2 = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{3}MR^2)W_2^2$

Then, $K_2$ is equal to $K_1$ , so:

$K_2 = K_1$

$\frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{3}MR^2)W_2^2 = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{5}MR^2)W_1^2$

$\frac{1}{3}MR^2W_2^2 = \frac{1}{5}MR^2W_1^2$

$\frac{1}{3}W_2^2 = \frac{1}{5}W_1^2$

Finally, solving for $W_2$ , we get:

$W_2=\sqrt{\frac{3}{5} }W_1$

For metalloids on the periodic table, how do the group number and the period number relate?

lapo4ka [179]

Im guessing it's (a) since the numbers go in chronological order and you read the periodic table left to right

Charge: A piece of plastic has a net charge of +2.00 μC. How many more protons than electrons does this piece of plastic have? (

snow_lady [41]

Answer

given,

net charge = +2.00 μC

we know,

1 coulomb charge = 6.28 x 10¹⁸electrons

1 micro coulomb charge = 6.28 x 10¹⁸ x 10⁻⁶ electron

= 6.28 x 10¹² electrons

2.00 μC = 2 x 6.28 x 10¹² electrons

= 1.256 x 10¹³ electrons

since net charge is positive.

The number of protons should be 1.256 x 10¹³ more than electrons.

hence, +2.00 μC have 1.256 x 10¹³ more protons than electrons.
