A spring stretches 0.220 m when a 0.400 kg-mass is hung from it. What is its spring constant? (Mass is not a force )

We want to know the amount of force that stretches the spring 0.22 m.
That force is the WEIGHT of the mass hung from it.
The weight of the mass is (mass) times (gravity).
To do that calculation, we need to know the value of gravity, but
gravity has different values on every planet. I shall assume that
this whole springy question is taking place on Earth, so that the
value of gravity is 9.8 m/s² .

The weight of the mass is (0.4 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 3.92 Newtons.

The spring constant is

(force/length of the stretch)

= (3.92 Newtons) / (0.22 meters)

= (3.92 / 0.22) Newtons/meter

= 17.82 N/m .

one horsepower is a unit of power equal to 746w. how much energy can a 150-horsepower engine transform in 10.0s?

Dafna1 [17]

1 watt = 1 joule/second

1 horsepower = 746 watts = 746 joule/second

(150 horsepower) x (746 watt/HP) x (1 joule/sec / watt) x (10 sec)

= (150 x 746 x 1 x 10) joule = 1,119,000 joules .
if correct plz mark brainly

A particle moving in the x direction is being acted upon by a net force F(x)=Cx2, for some constant C. The particle moves from x

elixir [45]

Answer:

Change in kinetic energy is ( 26CL³)/3

Explanation:

Given :

Net force applied, F(x) = Cx² ....(1)

Displacement of the particle from xi = L to xf = 3L.

The work-energy theorem states that change in kinetic energy of the particle is equal to the net amount of work is done to displace the particle.

That is,

ΔK = W = ∫F·dx

Substitute equation (1) in the above equation.

ΔK = ∫Cx²dx

The limit of integration from xi = L to xf = 3L, so

$\Delta K=\frac{C}{3}(x_{f} ^{3} - x_{i} ^{3})$

Substitute the values of xi and xf in the above equation.

$\Delta K=\frac{C}{3}((3L) ^{3} - L ^{3})$

$\Delta K=\frac{C}{3}\times26L^{3}$

BigorU [14]

A hypothesis is a tentative and testable explanation, based on observation(s). A hypothesis can be supported or refuted through experimentation or more observation. A hypothesis can be disproven, but not proven to be true.

a rod of some material 0.20 m long elongates 0.20 mm on heating from 21 to 120°c. determine the value of the linear coefficient

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

The value of the linear coefficient of thermal expansion is : α=1.01 *10⁻⁵ (ºC)⁻¹

Explanation:

Li = 0.2m

ΔL = 0.2 mm = 0.0002m

T1 = 21ºC

T2 = 120ºC

ΔT =99ºC

α =ΔL/(Li*ΔT)

α =0.0002m /(0.2m * 99ºC)

α = 1.01 *10⁻⁵ (ºC)⁻¹
