Elastic potential energy stored in a spring is

(1/2) · (spring constant) · (stretch or compress)² .

PE = (1/2) · (100 N/m) · (0.1 m)²

PE = (50 N/m) · (0.01 m²)

PE = (50 · 0.01) (N · m / m²)

PE = 0.5 N · m

PE = 0.5 Joule

Two identical satellites orbit the earth in stable orbits. One satellite orbits with a speed v at a distance r from the center o

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

c)At a distance greater than r

Explanation:

For a satellite in orbit around the Earth, the gravitational force provides the centripetal force that keeps the satellite in motion:

$G\frac{Mm}{r^2}=m\frac{v^2}{r}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

m is the satellite's mass

r is the distance between the satellite and the Earth's centre

v is the speed of the satellite

Re-arranging the equation, we write

$r = \frac{GM}{v^2}$

so we see from the equation that when the speed is higher, the distance from the Earth's centre is smaller, and when the speed is lower, the distance from the Earth's centre is larger.

Here, the second satellite orbit the Earth at a speed less than v: this means that its orbit will have a larger radius than the first satellite, so the correct answer is

c)At a distance greater than r

If Juan upgrades from a sports car to a large truck, what will happen to the

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

The force must increase

Explanation:

According to newton's second law "force is the product of mass and acceleration".

Force = mass x acceleration

Now, the mass of the sports car is lesser compared to that of the truck. Therefore, to take both automobiles to the same speed, enough force must be applied by the engine of the truck.

There must be an increase in the force in order to make both automobiles attain the same speed.

Explain why frog will not look green under the red light?

IrinaVladis [17]

A frog can be many different colours. It appears green under normal 'white' light because it absorbs all the other colours in the light's spectrum apart from green. It reflects the green light back and that is picked up by your eye.

If the light is red, there is no green in the spectrum of the light, only red. So, the red light will be absorbed and there is no green to be reflected back for you to see. Therefore, the frog will not look green.
