Work of 2 joules is done in stretching a spring from its natural length to 11 cm beyond its natural length. what is the force (i

n newtons) that holds the spring stretched at the same distance (11 cm)

The law applied here is Hooke's Law which describes the force exerted by the spring with a given distance. The equation for this is F = kΔx, where F is the force in Newtons, k is the spring constant in N/m while Δx is the displacement in meters.

If you want to find work done by a spring, this can be solved by using differential equations. However, derived equations are already ready for use. The equation is

W = k[{x₂-x₁)² - (x₁-xn)²],

where 
xn is the natural length
x₁ is the stretched length 
x₂ is also the stretched length when stretched even further than x₁

In this case xn =x₁. So, that means that (x₁-xn) = 0 and (x₂-x₁) = 11 cm or 0.11 m.

Then, substituting the values,

2 J = k (0.11² -0²)
k = 165.29 N/m

Finally, we use the value of k to the Hooke's Law to determine the Force.

F = kΔx = (165.29 N/m)(0.11 m)
F = 18.18 Newtons

If five joules were required to move a crate in 3.7 seconds, what power was applied?
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 1.35 Watts

Explanation:

Data

Work = W = 5 J

time = t = 3.7 s

Power = P = ?

Formula

Power is a rate in which work is done or energy is transferred over time

P = \frac{W}{t}

Substitution

P = \frac{5}{3.7}

Result

P = 1.35 W

The ocean's level is currently rising at about
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

The sea level will be 5m higher in 1667 y (years)

Explanation:

From the question, the rate at which the ocean's level is currently rising is about 3mm per year.

First, we will convert mm (millimeter) to m (meter)

1 mm = 0.001 m

Then,

3 mm = 3 × 0.001 m

= 0.003m

That is, the rate at which the ocean's level is currently rising is about 0.003m per year.

Now, to determine how long it will take for the ocean's level be 5 m higher than now at the given rate,

If the ocean rises 0.003 m in 1 year, then

the ocean will rise 5 m in x years

x = (5 m × 1 year) / 0.003 m

x = 5 / 0.003

x = 1666.67 years

x ≅ 1667 years

Hence, the sea level will be 5m higher in 1667 y (years)
