The potential energy of the spring is 6.75 J

The elastic potential energy stored in the spring is given by the equation:

$E= \frac{1}{2} kx^2$

where;

k is the spring constant

x is the compression/stretching of the string

In this problem, we have the spring as follows:

k = 150 N/m is the spring constant

x = 0.3 m is the compression

Substituting in the equation, we get

$E=\frac{1}{2} (150) (0.3)^2$

$E=6.75J$

Therefore. the elastic potential energy stored in the spring is 6.75J .

Answer: magnitude of the instantaneous angular velocity

Explanation:

Instantaneous angular speed is refered to as the magnitude of the instantaneous angular velocity. We should note that the instantaneous angular velocity is the rate that has to do with the rotation of an object in circular path.

please help! find magnitude and direction (the counterclockwise angle with the +x axis) of a vector that is equal to a + c

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Option (2)

Explanation:

From the figure attached,

Horizontal component, $A_x=A\text{Sin}37$

$A_x=12[\text{Sin}(37)]$

= 7.22 m

Vertical component, $A_y=A[\text{Cos}(37)]$

= 9.58 m

Similarly, Horizontal component of vector C,

$C_x$ = C[Cos(60)]

= 6[Cos(60)]

= $\frac{6}{2}$

= 3 m

$C_y=6[\text{Sin}(60)]$

= 5.20 m

Resultant Horizontal component of the vectors A + C,

$R_x=7.22-3=4.22$ m

$R_y=9.58-5.20$ = 4.38 m

Now magnitude of the resultant will be,

From ΔOBC,

$R=\sqrt{(R_x)^{2}+(R_y)^2}$

= $\sqrt{(4.22)^2+(4.38)^2}$

= $\sqrt{17.81+19.18}$

= 6.1 m

Direction of the resultant will be towards vector A.

tan(∠COB) = $\frac{\text{CB}}{\text{OB}}$

= $\frac{R_y}{R_x}$

= $\frac{4.38}{4.22}$

m∠COB = $\text{tan}^{-1}(1.04)$

= 46°

Therefore, magnitude of the resultant vector will be 6.1 m and direction will be 46°.

Option (2) will be the answer.

A ranger in a national park is driving at 56 km/h when a deer jumps onto the road 65 m ahead of the vehicle. After a reaction ti

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

t = 1.58 s

Explanation:

given,

Speed of ranger, v = 56 km/h

v = 56 x 0.278 = 15.57 m/s

distance, d = 65 m

deceleration,a = 3 m/s²

reaction time = ?

using stopping distance formula

$d = v. t + \dfrac{v^2}{2a}$

$t = \dfrac{d}{v} -\dfrac{v}{2a}$

t is the reaction time

$t = \dfrac{65}{15.57} -\dfrac{15.57}{2\times 3}$

t = 1.58 s

hence, the reaction time of the ranger is equal to 1.58 s.

Joan stirred a pot of hot soup with a metal spoon. after a minute or two, the handle of the spoon became too hot to hold. what k

natima [27]

When the metal spoon comes in contact with the hot soup, heat transfer from hot soup to the spoon because of difference in temperature of the two. The kind of heat transfer represented here is conduction. In conduction, heat is transferred from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature when there is a physical contact between the two.
