A box is initially sliding across a frictionless floor toward a spring which is attached to a wall. the box hits the end of the

spring and compresses it, eventually coming to rest for an instant before bouncing back the way it came. the work done by the spring on the box as the spring compresses is:

The elastic potential energy of a spring is given by
U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2
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:
W=-\Delta U =  \frac{1}{2}kx_i^2 -  \frac{1}{2}kx_f^2

In our problem, initially the spring is uncompressed, so x_i=0. Therefore, the work done by the spring when it is compressed until x_f is
W=- \frac{1}{2}kx_f^2
And this value is actually negative, because the box is responsible for the spring's compression, so the work is done by the box.

Name the characteristics of electro magnetic waves that i) increases ii) remains constant in the electromagneticspectrum as one
Paul [167]

As we move from Radiowaves to UV waves in electromagnetic spectrum we know that the wavelength is maximum for radio waves while its frequency is minimum

PART (i)

So as we move from radiowaves to UV region

the Frequency will increase

Part (ii)

As we move from Radiowaves to UV region all the parts must have same speed in same medium

All parts will move with speed of light

so Speed will remain the same

Science question: How do humans use the magnetic field for navigation?
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

Magnetoreception (also magnetoception) is a sense which allows an organism to detect a magnetic field to perceive direction, altitude, or location. This sensory modality is used by a range of animals for orientation and navigation, and as a method for animals to develop regional maps.

If you are going 60 mph what is your speed in m per second
LenKa [72]

Answer:

1/60 mps

Explanation:

We would first have to divide 60 by 60 because there is 60mins per hour to get 1mpm. After that we would have to divide 1 by 60 because there are 60 secs in a min. So our final answer after doing 1/60 would be a fraction.
