The elastic potential energy of a spring is given by
where k is the spring's constant and x is the displacement with respect to the relaxed position of the spring.
The work done by the spring is the negative of the potential energy difference between the final and initial condition of the spring:
In our problem, initially the spring is uncompressed, so
. Therefore, the work done by the spring when it is compressed until
is
And this value is actually negative, because the box is responsible for the spring's compression, so the work is done by the box.
Answer:
-0.045 N, they will attract each other
Explanation:
The strength of the electrostatic force exerted on a charge is given by
where
q is the magnitude of the charge
E is the electric field magnitude
In this problem,
(negative because inward)
So the strength of the electrostatic force is
Moreover, the charge will be attracted towards the source of the electric field. In fact, the text says that the electric field points inward: this means that the source charge is negative, so the other charge (which is positive) is attracted towards it.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
(c) The two cuts that are being roasted for each time-temperature combination are an example of replication.
In the question it is given that From 10 identical cuts of lamb, 2 are randomly selected to roast using each of the time-temperature combinations in the same oven. Here it is an act of copying the exact sahpe size of the lamb in all cuts, which is nothing but replication. Moreover, this replication can help in proper comparision.
Answer:
Explanation:
Point beneath you forms a beautiful iridescent green
refractive index of Gasoline 
Wavelength of Green light is 
Here light first traverse from air(n=1) to gasoline , it reflects from front surface of gasoline(n=1.38) so it suffers a phase change. After this light reflect from rear surface of gasoline and there is a decrease in refractive index(n=1.38 to n=1.33), so there is no phase change occurs .
For constructive interference
here t= thickness of gasoline film
n=refractive index
for 
The helium may be treated as an ideal gas, so that
(p*V)/T =constant
where
p = pressure
V = volume
T = temperature.
Note that
7.5006 x 10⁻³ mm Hg = 1 Pa
1 L = 10⁻³ m³
Given:
At ground level,
p₁ = 752 mm Hg
= (752 mm Hg)/(7.5006 x 10⁻³ mm Hg/Pa)
= 1.0026 x 10⁵ Pa
V₁ = 9.47 x 10⁴ L = (9.47 x 10⁴ L)*(10⁻³ m³/L)
= 94.7 m³
T₁ = 27.8 °C = 27.8 + 273 K
= 300.8 K
At 36 km height,
P₂ = 73 mm Hg = 73/7.5006 x 10⁻³ Pa
= 9.7326 x 10³ Pa
T₂ = 235 K
If the volume at 36 km height is V₂, then
V₂ = (T₂/p₂)*(p₁/T₁)*V₁
= (235/9.7326 x 10³)*(1.0026 x 10⁵/300.8)*94.7
= 762.15 m³
Answer: 762.2 m³
