Answer:

k = 200 N/m

Explanation:

given,

mass of the object  = 251 g

                                = 251 x 10⁻³ Kg = 0.251 Kg

distance of tendon stretch = x = 1.23 cm

                                            = 1.23 x 10⁻² = 0.0123 m

using the formula

F = k  x

where

k is the force constant of the tendon

F = m g

F = 0.251 x 9.8 = 2.4598 N

2.4598 = k x 0.0123

k = 199.98 N/m

k = 200 N/m

hence, force constant of the tendon is approximately equal to 200 N/m

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

p = momentum of photon

E = energy of photon

c = velocity of light

Units of p = kg m /s

Units of E = kg m^2 / s^2

Units of E / p = {kg m^2 / s^2} / {kg m /s} = m/s

It is the unit of speed, so by the division of energy to the momentum, we get the speed. yes it is correct.

A cliff diver running 3.60 m/s dives out horizontally from the edge of a vertical cliff and reaches the water below 2.00 s later
mart [117]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The horizontal speed of a cliff diver, v_x=3.6\ m/s

It reaches the water below 2.00 s later, t = 2 s

Let d_x is the distance where the diver hit the water. It can be calculated as follows :

d_x=v_x\times t\\\\=3.6\times 2\\\\=7.2\ m

Let d_y is the height of the cliff. It can be calculated using second equation of motion as follows :

d_y=u_yt+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\d_y=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times 2^2\\\\=19.6\ m

So, the cliff is 19.6 m high and it will hit the water at a distance of 19.6 m.

A metal, M, forms an oxide having the formula M2O3 containing 52.92% metal by mass. Determine the atomic weight in g/mole of the
irina [24]

Answer:

The atomic weight in g/mole of the metal (molar mass) is 8.87.

Explanation:

To begin, it is possible to assume that, as a sample, it has 100 g of the compound. This means that:

  • 52.92% metal: 52.92 g M
  • 47.80% oxygen: 47.80 g O

 Using the molar mass of oxygen, which is 16 g / mol, it is possible to calculate the amount of moles of oxygen present in the sample using the rule of three:

moles of oxygen=\frac{47.8g*1mol}{16g}

moles of oxygen=2.9875

The chemical formula of metal oxide tells you that:

2 M⁺³ + 3 O²⁻ ⇒ M₂O₃

In the previous equation you can see that you need 3  oxygen anions to react with two metal cations. Then:

2.9875 moles of oxygen*\frac{2 moles of metal M}{1 mol of oxygen} = 5.975 moles of metal M

You have  52.92 g  of metal in the sample, then the molar mass of the metal is:

molar mass=\frac{52.92 g}{5.975 mol}

molar mass≅ 8.87 g/mol

<u><em> The atomic weight in g/mole of the metal (molar mass) is 8.87.</em></u>

The closest match to this value is Beryllium (Be), which has an atomic mass of 9.0122 g / mol.

A spring with a spring constant of 0.70 N/m is stretched 1.5 m. What was the force?
Talja [164]

Answer:

1.05 N

Explanation:

K = 0.7 N/m

e = 1.5 m

F = ?

from Hooke's law of elasticity

F = Ke

= 0.7×1.5

= 1.05 N
