EPE= 0.5 * spring constant * (extension)^2

Spring constant=EPE/0.5*extension^2

5J/0.5*0.5^2

=40N/m

Energy stored in a spring = (1/2) (spring constant) (stretch)²

5 Joules = (1/2) (spring constant) (0.5 m)²

10 Joules = (spring constant) (0.25 m²)

Spring constant = 10 joules / 0.25 m²

Spring constant = 40 Newton/meter

List the three main things necessary to build an electromagnet.

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Electromagnets are special types of magnets that are made by passing current through coils of wire. To make an electromagnet, the minimum requirements are:

1. A nail (usually made of iron, steel or zinc)

2. Dry cell batteries

3. Wire (Usually copper wire)

Other things could be:

1. Electric tape to hold both ends of the wire properly at the battery terminals.

2. Scissors to cut the wire into desired length.

3. Iron fillings for testing purposes.

A racquetball strikes a wall with a speed of 30 m/s and rebounds in the opposite direction with a speed of 26 m/s. The collision

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

The average acceleration of the ball during the collision with the wall is $a=2,800m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

Known Data

We will asume initial speed has a negative direction, $v_{i}=-30m/s$ , final speed has a positive direction, $v_{f}=26m/s$ , $\Delta t=20ms=0.020s$ and mass $m_{b}$ .

Initial momentum

$p_{i}=mv_{i}=(-30m/s)(m_{b})=-30m_{b}\ m/s$

final momentum

$p_{f}=mv_{f}=(26m/s)(m_{b})=26m_{b}\ m/s$

Impulse

$I=\Delta p=p_{f}-p_{i}=26m_{b}\ m/s-(-30m_{b}\ m/s)=56m_{b}\ m/s$

Average Force

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t} =\frac{56m_{b}\ m/s}{0.020s} =2800m_{b} \ m/s^{2}$

Average acceleration

$F=ma$ , so $a=\frac{F}{m_{b}}$ .

Therefore, $a=\frac{2800m_{b} \ m/s^{2}}{m_{b}} =2800m/s^{2}$

A 6.8 KG object moves with a velocity of 8 M/S what’s it's kinetic energy?

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Explanation:

KE = ½mv² = ½(6.8)8² = 217.6 J

round as appropriate because that result is way too much precision for the inputs provided. Arguably should be 200 J based on the single significant digit of the velocity.

Earth's distance from the sun doesn't change enough to cause seasonal differences. Instead, our seasons change because Earth tilts on its axis.

If you were to drive an average velocity of 65 mi/hr to Traverse City, which is

Amanda [17]

Find the number of hours by dividing the distance by mph. The number of hours will be to the left of the decimal point:

250 miles / 65 mph
= 3.846153846
= 3 hours

2) Find the number of minutes by multiplying what is remaining from step 1 by 60 minutes. The minutes will be to the left of the decimal point:

0.846153846 x 60
= 50.76923076
= 50 minutes

3) Find the number of seconds by multiplying what is remaining from step 2 by 60 seconds. The seconds will be to the left of the decimal point:

0.76923076 x 60
= 46.1538456
= 46 seconds

So 3 hours 50 mins and 46 seconds
