Answer:

(a) The work done is 0.05 J

(b) The  force will stretch the spring by 3.8 cm

Explanation:

Given;

work done in stretching the spring from 30 cm to 45 cm, W = 3 J

extension of the spring, x = 45 cm - 30 cm = 15 cm = 0.15 m

The work done is given by;

W = ¹/₂kx²

where;

k is the force constant of the spring

k = 2W / x²

k = (2 x 3) / (0.15)²

k = 266.67 N/m

(a) the extension of the spring, x = 37 cm - 35 cm = 2 cm = 0.02 m

work done is given by;

W = ¹/₂kx²

W = ¹/₂ (266.67)(0.02)²

W = 0.05 J

(b) force = 10 N

natural length L = 30 cm

F = kx

x = F / k

x = 10 / 266.67

x = 0.0375 m

x = 3.75 cm = 3.8 cm

Thus a force of 10 N will stretch the spring by 3.8 cm

iragen [17]

Answer:

Reflection of Light. When light waves are incident on a smooth, flat surface, they reflect away from the surface at the same angle as they arrive. ... Regardless of whether light is acting as particles or waves, however, the result of reflection is the same.

Select the choice that best completes the following sentence. When an axe is used to chop wood, A. the axe blade acts as a wedge
Firdavs [7]
Answer: C
<span>
An axe is a mechanical device with two inclined planes, thick at one end and tapers to a thin edge and when it is used to chop wood, the axe blade acts as a wedge and changes the direction of the input force. When the axe blade penetrates the wood, a portion of the downward force of the blade is changed to sideways forces, which are perpendicular to each external of the blade and the sideways forces cause the wood to split in contrasting directions.</span>
