Answer:

4.0 cm

Explanation:

For the compression of the spring, the kinetic energy of the mass equals the elastic potential energy of the spring.

So, 1/2mv² = 1/2kx² ⇒ x = (√m/k)v

Since m and k are constant since its the same spring x ∝ v

If our speed is now v₁ = 2v, our compression is x₁

x₁ = (√m/k)v₁ = (√m/k)2v = 2(√m/k)v = 2x

x₁ = 2x

Since x = 2.0 cm, our compression for speed = 2v is

x₁ = 2(2.0) = 4.0 cm

How long does it take for 4 coulombs of charge to pass through a cross
Galina-37 [17]

Answer: 2 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

Time (T) = ?

Charge (Q) = 4 coulombs

current (I) = 2 Amps

Since charge depends on the amount of current flowing through the wire in a given time, hence

Charge = Current x Time

Q = IT

4 coulombs = 2 Amps x Time

Time = 4 coulombs / 2 Amps

Time = 2 seconds

Thus, it takes 2 seconds for the current to flow through the wire

What is the force of gravity for a 12 kg turkey?<br><br> Please help asap
pogonyaev

Answer: 117.6N

Explanation:

By the second Newton's law, we know that:

F = m*a

F = force

m = mass

a = acceleration

We know that in the surface of the Earth, the gravitational acceleration is g = 9.8m/s^2.

Then we just can input that acceleration in the above equation, and also replace m by 12kg, and find that the force due the gravity is:

F = 12kg*9.8m/s^2 = 117.6N
