As AL2006 correctly pointed out the formula is 1/2 kx^2.  I was thinking of force and work is the integral of force over the distance applied.  So now
W= \frac{1}{2}k x^{2}
and
\frac{2*6.0}{0.04^{2} } = k =7500 \frac{J}{m^{2}}

Answer:

Spring constant or the force constant, k = 7500 N/m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Energy stored in the spring, E = 6 J

Stretching in the spring, x = 4 cm = 0.04 m

To find,

The spring constant (force constant) of this spring.

Solution,

We know that the work done by the spring when it is stretched is given by :

W=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

k is the spring constant

k=\dfrac{2W}{x^2}

k=\dfrac{2\times 6}{(0.04)^2}

k = 7500 N/m

So, the spring constant (force constant) of this spring is 7500 N/m.

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.

What is the tangential velocity of a record player which makes 11 revolutions in 20 seconds?
slava [35]

Answer:

The tangential velocity of a rotating object is:

v = r*w

where r is the radius, and w is the angular velocity.

w = 2*pi*f

where f is the frequency.

We know that the record plater does 11 revolutions in 20 seconds, then it does:

11 rev/20s = 0.55 rev/s = f

then we have:

w = 2*pi*0.55 s^-1 = 2*3.14*0.55 s^-1 = 3.454 s^-1

The radius of a record player is really variable, it is around 10 inches, so i will use r = 10in, which is the rotating part of the record player.

then the tangential velocity is:

v = 10in*3.454 s^-1 = 34.54 in/s

Explain the theory of plate tectonics and how they have changed Earth’s surface over time. Include the role of plate tectonics i
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

The theory of plate tectonics describes the movement of the plates across the Earth's lithosphere (the crust and upper mantle) through immense periods of time. Earth's litoshphere is composed of 7 (or 8, depending on how they are defined) major plates and many more minor plates.

The movement is attributed to different phenomena stemming from Earth's rotation, gravity, and mantle dynamics. All of these forces play a role in influencing the size, shape, and positioning of the different landmasses that currently shape our continents and islands.

Explanation:

In a nutshell, land originated from magma in the Earth's core escaping through the cracks and making its way to the ocean. The water cooled down the magma and this process created all of the land both above and below the sea. The landforms that we see all around the Earth today were formed thanks to collisions and separations of the plates thoughout billions of years.
