0.36 J of work is done in stretching the spring from 15 cm to 18 cm.

To find the correct answer, we need to know about the work done to strech a string.

<h3>What is the work required to strech a string?</h3>

Mathematically, the work done to strech a string is given as 1/2 ×K×x².
K is the spring constant.

<h3>What will be the spring constant, if 40N force is required to hold a 10 cm to 15 cm streched spring?</h3>

The force experienced by a streched spring is given as Kx. x is the length of the spring streched from its natural length.
Then K = Force / x.
Here x = 15 - 10 = 5 cm = 0.05 m
K = 40/0.05 = 800N/m.

<h3>What will be the work required to strech that spring from 15 cm to 18 cm?</h3>

Work done = 1/2×k×x²
Here x= 18-15=3cm or 0.03 m
So, W= 1/2×800×0.03² = 0.36 J.

Thus, we can conclude that the work done is 0.36 J.

Usimov [2.4K]

Explanation:

It is known that relation between torque and angular acceleration is as follows.

$\tau = I \times \alpha$

and, I = $\sum mr^{2}$

So, $I_{1} = 2 kg \times (1 m)^{2} + 2 kg \times (1 m)^{2}$

= 4 $kg m^{2}$

$\tau_{1} = 4 kg m^{2} \times \alpha_{1}$

$\tau_{2} = I_{2} \alpha_{2}$

So, $I_{2} = 2 kg \times (0.5 m)^{2} + 2 kg \times (0.5 m)^{2}$

= 1 $kg m^{2}$

as $\tau_{2} = I_{2} \alpha_{2}$

= $1 kg m^{2} \times \alpha_{2}$

Hence, $\tau_{1} = \tau_{2}$

$4 \alpha_{1} = \alpha_{2}$

$\alpha_{1} = \frac{1}{4} \alpha_{2}$

Thus, we can conclude that the new rotation is $\frac{1}{4}$ times that of the first rotation rate.

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

0.384c

Explanation:

To find the speed of the pursuit ship relative to the cruiser you use the following relativistic equation:

$u'=\frac{u-v}{1-\frac{uv}{c^2}}$

u': relative speed

u: speed of the pursuit ship = 0.8c

v: speed of the cruiser = 0.6c

c: speed of light

You replace the values of the parameters to obtain u':

$u'=\frac{0.8c-0.6c}{1-\frac{(0.6c)(0.8c)}{c^2}}=0.384c$

Hence, the relative speed is 0.384c
