What kind of energy is stored when you squeeze a mattress?

2 answers:

7 0

Answer: When you squeeze a mattress, and you release it, you can see that return to the original shape. So, when you are squeezing it, the mattress "want" to return to the original shape. The mattress does it by storing elastic energy, and when you stop squeezing it, uses the elastic energy to return to the original shape.

so the energy stored is elastic energy.

Question 2.

boyakko [2]

The tensile stress of the wire supporting 2 kg mass is determined as 6.1 x 10⁷ N/m².

<h3>Tensile stress of the wire</h3>

The tensile stress of the wire is calculated as follows;

σ = F/A

where;

A is area of the wire

A = πr² = πD²/4

where;

D is diameter = 0.64 mm

A = π x (0.64 x 10⁻³)²/4

A = 3.22 x 10⁻⁷ m²

σ = F/A = (mg)/A = (2 x 9.8)/( 3.22 x 10⁻⁷)

σ = 6.1 x 10⁷ N/m²

To calculate the change in kinetic energy, you must know the force as a function of _______. The work done by the force causes t

aliya0001 [1]

To calculate the change in kinetic energy, you must know the force as a function of position. The work done by the force causes the kinetic energy change

Explanation:

The work-energy theorem states that the change in kinetic enegy of an object is equal to the work done on the object:

$\Delta E_k = W$

where the work done is the integral of the force over the position of the object:

$W=\int F(x) dx$

As we see from the formula, the magnitude of the force F(x) can be dependent from the position of the object, therefore in order to solve correctly the integral and find the work done on the object, it is required to know the behaviour of the force as a function of the position, x.

If a 0.50-kg block initially at rest on a frictionless, horizontal surface is acted upon by a force of 3.7 N for a distance of 6

mel-nik [20]

The block's velocity is determined as 10.03 m/s.

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to work energy theorem, the work done on an object is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the object.

So, work done = Kinetic energy

$\text {Force } \times \text { displacement }=\frac{1}{2} \times m \times v^{2}$

Thus, the velocity can be determined as

$\text {velocity}=\sqrt{\frac{2 \times \text {Force} \times \text {displacement}}{m}}$

$\text {velocity}=\sqrt{\frac{2 \times 3.7 \times 6.8}{0.50}}=\sqrt{\frac{50.32}{0.50}}=\sqrt{100.64}$

Velocity = 10.03 m/s.

So the block's velocity is determined as 10.03 m/s.

The wavelength of a wave on a string is 1.2 meters. If the speed of the wave is 60 m/s, what is the wave frequency? 5 points 0.2

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

50 Hz is the answer because 60 m/s divided by 1.2 meters is 50.

In which of these cases do we have enough information to say that the atom is electrically neutral?

Luba_88 [7]

<span>So we want to know when do we have enough information about the atom that we can say that it is electrically neutral. So the information we need to know is the number of protons, whic are positively charged particles and the number of electrons which are negatively charged particles. Number of protons has to be equal to number of electrons for the atom to have neutral charge. Neutrons are electrically neutral so their number doesn't change the charge of the atom. So the correct answer is B. </span>
