Answer:

0.045 J

Explanation:

From the question,

The elastic potential energy stored in a spring is given as,

E = 1/2ke²...................... Equation 1

Where E = elastic potential energy, k = spring constant, e = compression.

Given: k = 100 N/m, e = 0.05-0.02 = 0.03 m

Substitute these values into equation 1

E = 1/2(100)(0.03²)

E = 50(9×10⁻⁴)

E = 0.045 J

Hence the right option is 0.045 J

A particle has a charge of -4.25 nC.

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

-611.32 N/C

0.43723 m

Explanation:

k = Coulomb constant = $8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2$

q = Charge = -4.25 nC

r = Distance from particle = 0.25 m

Electric field is given by

$E=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^9\times -4.25\times 10^{-9}}{0.25^2}\\\Rightarrow E=-611.32\ N/C$

The magnitude is 611.32 N/C

The electric field will point straight down as the sign is negative towards the particle.

$E=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow r=\sqrt{\dfrac{kq}{E}}\\\Rightarrow r=\sqrt{\dfrac{8.99\times 10^9\times 4.25\times 10^{-9}}{13}}\\\Rightarrow r=1.71436\ m$

The distance from the electric field is 1.71436 m

Rzqust [24]

<span>A tri-fold brochure has two parallel folds, splitting the brochure into three sections. Even when printed on low-weight paper, tri-folds can stand up easily, which makes them a great choice for displaying at conventions. You can fold both folds inwards so that the left and right sections of the brochure sit on top of one another, or you can have one fold inwards and the other outwards, to create an accordion effect, which looks very attractive.</span>

Which of the following illustrates an increase in potential energy? Group of answer choices a wind-up toy winding down a person

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

A person climbs a set of stairs

Explanation:

Potential energy is said to be possessed by an object due to its position. As the height from the ground level increase, the potential energy increases. It is calculated by the below formula as :

P = mgh

Out of the given options, the option that illustrates an increase in potential energy is option (b) i.e. a person climbs a set of stairs. As he steps one stair, its position from ground increases. It means its potential energy increases.

A metal rod of length (L) moves with velocity (v), perpendicular to its length, in a magnetic field B, which is perpendicular to

Alborosie

Explanation:

If a metal rod of length L moves with velocity v is moving perpendicular to its length, in a magnetic field B, the induced emf is given by :

$\epsilon=Blv$

The electric field in the conductor is given by :

$E=\dfrac{\epsilon}{l}\\\\E=\dfrac{Blv}{l}\\\\E=Bv$

It is clear that the electric field is independent of the length of the rod. If the length of the rod is doubled, the electric field in the rod remains the same.

Balboa Park in San Diego has an outdoor organ. When the air temperature increases, the fundamental frequency of one of the organ

musickatia [10]

The fundamental frequency of one of the organ pipes will go up or increase.

When pressured air is forced into an organ pipe, it echoes at a particular pitch, generating the sound of the pipe organ. Each pipe has been adjusted to a particular pitch on the musical scale.

A musical instrument called an outdoor pipe organ is used to perform music. It produces some calming tones and has a really serene sound. The organ pipe produces the sound of the outdoor organ. The wavelength of the sound is also dependent on the length of the pipe. The fundamental frequency of one of the organ pipes will grow as the speed of the sound increases as the ambient air temperature rises.

The correct option is (c).
