The weight required to stretch the spring 12.5 cm is 7.5 N (Option A)

<h3>Data obtained from the question</h3>
  • Initial weight (W₁) = 3 N
  • Initial Length (L₁) = 5 cm
  • New length (L₂) = 12.5 cm
  • New Weight (W₂) =?

<h3>How to determine the new weight </h3>

The new weight required to stretch the spring can be obtained as follow:

W₁ / L₁ = W₂ / L₂

3 / 5 = W₂ / 12.5

Cross multiply

W₂ × 5 = 3 × 12.5

Divide both sides by 5

W₂ = (3 × 12.5) / 5

W₂ = 7.5 N

A ball thrown straight up takes 1.89s to reach a height of 41.6m.
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

average velocity is 41.6/1.89 = 22.0 m/s

initial velocity u is

22.0 = (u + u - 9.81(1.89))/2

44.0 = 2u - 18.5

62.56 = 2u

u = 31.3 m/s

max height is

v² = u² + 2as

s = (v² - u²) / 2a

s = (0² - 31.3²) / (2(-9.81)) = 49.9 m

49.9 = 41.6 = 8.27 m higher

In process numbers have been rounded to 3 s.d. for reporting purposes.

What is the potential energy of a puppy that weighs 18 N istting in a high chair 2 m high?
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

Potential energy =mass* acceleration due to gravity * height

mass*acceleration due to gravity =weight

hence potential energy of the puppy= weight * height

=18*2

=36 joule

How do the amplitudes of a 120 decibel sound and a 100-decibel sound compare?​
NemiM [27]
The 120 decibel sound has more amplitude than the 100 decibel sound.

In Physics, the relation between amplitude and intensity is that the intensity of the wave is directly proportional to the square of its amplitude.
