Answer:

16J

Explanation:

From hookes law

The work done in a spring is given as W =1/2ke^2

Given that the force constant (k) is constant in the spring material

We have that 2W = e^2

Let W1 = 4J e1= 2cm e2 = 4cm

Let W2 be the work required to stretch it an additional 4cm

W1/ W2 = e1^2/e2^2

W2 = W1* e2^2 / e1^2

= 4* 4^2 /2^2

=4× 16 / 4

= 16J

Answer:

Explanation:

The inclined plane

An inclined plane consists of a sloping surface; it is used for raising heavy bodies. The plane offers a mechanical advantage in that the force required to move an object up the incline is less than the weight being raised (discounting friction). The steeper the slope, or incline, the more nearly the required force approaches the actual weight. Expressed mathematically, the force F required to move a block D up an inclined plane without friction is equal to its weight W times the sine of the angle the inclined plane makes with the horizontal (θ). The equation is F = W sin θ.

The lever

A lever is a bar or board that rests on a support called a fulcrum. A downward force exerted on one end of the lever can be transferred and increased in an upward direction at the other end, allowing a small force to lift a heavy weight.

The wedge

A wedge is an object that tapers to a thin edge. Pushing the wedge in one direction creates a force in a sideways direction. It is usually made of metal or wood and is used for splitting, lifting, or tightening, as in securing a hammer head onto its handle.

The wheel and axle

A wheel and axle is made up of a circular frame (the wheel) that revolves on a shaft or rod (the axle). In its earliest form it was probably used for raising weights or water buckets from wells.

Its principle of operation is best explained by way of a device with a large gear and a small gear attached to the same shaft. The tendency of a force, F, applied at the radius R on the large gear to turn the shaft is sufficient to overcome the larger force W at the radius r on the small gear. The force amplification, or mechanical advantage, is equal to the ratio of the two forces (W:F) and also equal to the ratio of the radii of the two gears (R:r)

Using Newton's third law of motion, explain what happens when you let an untied balloon go.
mash [69]

Answer:

balloon pushes you back

Explanation:

3rd Law: Every action has an equal and opposite reaction

So, when you let go of the balloon it's pushed forward so the balloon pushes you back
