A force of 43.8 N is required to stretch the spring a distance of 15.5 cm = 0.155 m, so the spring constant <em>k</em> is
43.8 N = <em>k</em> (0.155 m) ==> <em>k</em> = (43.8 N) / (0.155 m) ≈ 283 N/m
The total work done on the spring to stretch it to 15.5 cm from equilibrium is
1/2 (283 N/m) (0.155 m)² ≈ 3.39 J
The total work needed to stretch the spring to 15.5 cm + 10.4 cm = 25.9 cm = 0.259 m from equilibrium would be
1/2 (283 N/m) (0.259 m)² ≈ 9.48 J
Then the additional work needed to stretch the spring 10.4 cm further is the difference, about 6.08 J.
Answer:
<em>UP</em>
Explanation:
heat flows from higher level to lower level
( higher concentration to lower concentration )
and since temperature in above block is less than the lower block, the heat will flow from lower block to higher block .
( Up )
Answer:
B . energy cannot be created or destroyed
Answer:
37.9 kJ
Explanation:
We can calculate the thermal energy gained by the iron using the formula:
where
m = 35 g is the mass of the iron
Cs = 0.450 j/g is the iron's specific heat capacity
is the change in temperature of the iron (assuming that the room's temperature is 20 C degrees)
Substituting numbers into the formula, we find
