Which form of energy is involved in weighing fruit on a spring scale?

Physics

DanielleElmas [232]3 years ago

Answer:

d. gravitational potential energy and elastic potential energy

Explanation:

when fruits are weighed on the weighing scale using spring balance then the spring is stretched due to weight of the fruits

So here if the spring comes to rest just by stretching the spring by some amount of "x"

So here in that case we can say that the object will go down by same amount that is the amount of spring stretch

Now the gravitational potential energy of the spring will decrease as the height decreases and the same amount of spring potential energy will increase in that case.

So here we can say

mgx = \frac{1}{2}kx^2

loss in the gravitational potential energy = gain in the spring potential energy

There are two types of energies that are taking place in the fruit is weighed in a spring scale. These are the gravitational potential energy and the elastic potential energy. The gravitational potential energy could be primarily attributed to the elevation of the fruit with respect to the ground.

From reliable sources in the internet, the half-live of carbon-14 is given to be 5,730 years. In a span of 10,000 to 12,000 years, there are almost or little more than 2 half-lives. Thus, there should be
                                           A(t) = A(0)(1/2)^t
where t is the number of half-lives, in this case 2. Thus, only about 1/4 of the original amount will be left.

Using the Equation:

vi = initial velocity 
a = acceleration 
s = distance

True or false Scientific endeavor is driven by both simple curiosity as well as societal demands
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

its true that Scientific endeavor is driven by both simple curiosity as well as societal demands.

Explanation:

When a scientist has a curiosity about something he carried out a research. and when their is a demand of something in society that time scientific research is carried out. Therefore its true that a scientific endeavor is driven by  simple curiosity or societal demand.

For example

in society, there is demand of a medicine which can completely kill the cancer  and a scientist has curiosity to know how to kill cancer cell. In this way a scientific endeavor for cancer medicine can be carried out by both simple curiosity as well as societal demands.

Anna007 [38]

The answer is adequate nutrition, regular physical activity, and practical ways to reduce calories while retaining important nutrients.

Explanation:

Despite that adequate nutrition, regular physical activity, and practical ways to reduce calories while retaining important nutrients is one of the best strategy to reducing weight, most time it is very difficult for those that want to reduce or control their weight to discipline themselves enough to follow these routine.
