To store stacks of clean plates, a cafeteria uses a closed cart with a spring-loaded shelf inside. Customers can take plates off

the stack one at a time through a hole in the top. A stack of plates compresses the spring 0.40 m. The spring constant is 240 N/m. What is the elastic potential energy of the spring? *

The answer for the following problem is mentioned below.

The option for the question is "A" approximately.

  • <u><em>Therefore the elastic potential energy of the string is 20 J.</em></u>

Explanation:

Given:

Spring constant (k) = 240 N/m

amount of the compression (x) = 0.40 m

To calculate:

Elastic potential energy (E)

We know;

<em>According to the formula;</em>

    E = \frac{1}{2} × k × x × x

   <u>E = </u>\frac{1}{2}<u> × k ×(x)²</u>

where;

E represents the elastic potential energy

K represents the spring constant

x represents amount of the compression in the string

So therefore,

Substituting the values in the above formula;

      E = \frac{1}{2} × 240 × (0.40)²

      E =  \frac{1}{2} × 240 × 0.16

      E =  \frac{1}{2} × 38.4

      E = 19.2 J or approximately 20 J

<u><em>Therefore the elastic potential energy of the string is 20 J.</em></u>

Oxygen has an atomic number of 8. What can you conclude from this fact?
Alja [10]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

If Oxygen has an atomic number of 8, we can conclude that:

- If neutral, it has 8 protons and 8 electrons

- It has 8 neutrons and its atomic mass is 16 (A = 8 + 8)

- It must be located in the group VI A

- Its valence number must be 6

- Its Oxidation number is -2
