The answer would be . Since we are looking for the spring constant you would need to use the formula
$PEs = \frac{1}{2} k {x}^{2}$
. Then you'd substitute, for PEs and x.
$10j=1/2k(.20m^2).$
Then solve. k=500n/m

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The spring constant is 50 N/m.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Spring constant is the specific property of a spring which tells about the stiffness of a spring.

It is the amount of force which is used to displace a spring one meter from its equilibrium position.

Its unit is N/m.

The formula of potential energy in a spring is :

P.E = 1/2Kx2

Here,

P.E = 10 joules

x = 0.2m

K = P.E × 2/x2

K = 10 × 2/0.4

k = 50 N/m

Hence the spring constant is 50 N/m.

A 50.-kilogram rock rolls off the edge of a cliff. if it is traveling at a speed of 24.2 m/s when it hits the ground, what is th

ElenaW [278]

The correct answer to the question is : 29.88 m.

EXPLANATION :

As per the question, the mass of the rock m = 50 Kg.

The rock is rolling off the edges of the cliff.

The final velocity of the rock when it hits the ground v = 24 .2 m/s.

Let the height of the cliff is h.

The potential energy gained by the rock at the top of the cliff = mgh.

Here, g is known as acceleration due to gravity, and g = $9.8\ m/s^2$

When the rock rolls off the edge of the cliff, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.

When the rock hits the ground, whole of its potential energy is converted into its kinetic energy.

The kinetic energy of the rock when it touches the ground is given as -

Kinetic energy K.E = $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ .

From above we know that -

Kinetic energy at the bottom of the cliff = potential energy at a height h

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\ mgh$

⇒ $v^2=\ 2gh$

⇒ $h=\ \frac{v^2}{2g}$

⇒ $h=\ \frac{(24.2)^2}{2\times 9.8}$

⇒ $h=\ 29.88\ m$

Hence, the height of the cliff is 29.88 m

Alexxx [7]

You already have the speed, now you need the time.
I will use the formula for speed which is S=D/T.
S=Speed D=Distance T=Time.
So here we have, 18m/s = 52m/T
we do 18 divided by 52 which would be .3461.
.3461 seconds is how long it took the stone to reach the water.
