Answer:

<em> The elastic potential energy stored in the bungee cord = 20 J</em>

Explanation:

potential energy: This is the energy possessed by a body due to its position. The S.I unit of energy is Joules. The mathematical expression for elastic potential energy is given below

E = 1/2ke²................ Equation 1

Where E = elastic potential energy of the spring, k = force constant of the spring, e = extension

<em>Given: K = 10 N/m, e = 2.00 m</em>

<em>Substituting these values into Equation 1</em>

<em>E = 1/2(10)(2)²</em>

<em>E = 5×4</em>

<em>E = 20 Joules.</em>

<em>Therefore the elastic potential energy stored in the bungee cord = 20 J</em>

Reil [10]

Answer:

4.06 Hz

Explanation:

For simple harmonic motion, frequency is given by

f=\frac {1}{2\pi}\times \sqrt{\frac {k}{m}} where k is spring constant and m is the mass of the object.

Substituting 0.2 Kg for mass and 130 N/m for k then

f=\frac {1}{2\pi}\times \sqrt{\frac {130}{0.2}}=4.057670803\\f\approx 4.06 Hz

If you were designing a room in a house, where would be the better place to put a heater, near the floor or near the ceiling? Wh
taurus [48]

Answer: The correct explanation is 2.

Explanation: The warm air is less dense (it expands) and thus it is lighter than the cold air so it will rise up to the floor. Therefore, when you place the heater on the floor it will warm the cold air which would then rise and be replaced by more cold air which would again get warm and rise and so on until the room is heated. This means that the correct explanation is 2.

On the other hand, if you put the heater at the ceiling, it will warm the cold air near the ceiling which would stay up there (it is lighter than the cold air under it). This means that the only way for the heat to spread from this ceiling level warm air to the lower levels is via conduction which is slow.

Why were epicycles necessary in ptolemy’s model of the universe?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

epicycles were orbits within orbits used to explain discrepancies between expected and observed planetary movement, including the appearance of planets slowing down, speeding up, and moving backward.

A boy standing on a bridge above a river throws stone A vertically upward with an initial velocity =15m/s.2 seconds later he dro
Anastaziya [24]

I'm not sure if this is correct but it's what I'll do

This is free-fall problem.
Stone A is thrown upward, at the point it falls down to the place where it was thrown, the velocity is -15m/s.

Now I choose the bridge is the origin. From the bridge, stone A and B fall the same distance which means Ya = Yb ( vertical distance )

Ya = Vo(t + 2) + 1/2a(t+2)^2
= -15(t + 2) + 1/2(9.8)(t^2 + 4t + 4)
= -15t - 30 + 4.5(t^2 + 4t + 4)
= -15t - 30 + 4.5t^2 + 18t + 18
= 4.5t^2 +3t - 12

Yb = Vo(t) + 1/2a(t)^2
= 0 + 4.5t^2

4.5t^2 = 4.5t^2 +3t - 12
0 = 3t - 12
4 = t

Time for Stone B is 4s
Time for Stone A is 6s
