The energy of a compressed (or stretched) spring is given by

E= \frac{1}{2} k x^{2}

This gives

E= \frac{1}{2}80* 0.2^{2}  =1.6J

The density of a hippo is approximately 1030kg/m^3,so it sinks to the bottom of the freshwater lakes and rivers. A 1500kg hippo
hram777 [196]

Answer:

14,700 N

Explanation:

The hyppo is standing completely submerged on the bottom of the lake. Since it is still, it means that the net force acting on it is zero: so, the weight of the hyppo (W), pushing downward, is balanced by the upward normal force, N:

W-N=0 (1)

the weight of the hyppo is

W=mg=(1500 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=14,700 N

where m is the hyppo's mass and g is the gravitational acceleration; therefore, solving eq.(1) for N, we find

N=W=14,700 N

What elements are good conductors of electricity?
kramer
In solids: All metals are good conductors of electricity as they contain free moving electrons. Non-metals doesn't conduct , but we consider Graphite the only non-metal that can conduct electricity for the presence of free moving electrons.

In Liquids ; Ionic compunds contains free moving ions , so they conduct electricity as well .

If a ball is launched horizontally at 40 m/s
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

40m/s

Explanation:

The horizontal component of velocity remains constant because there are no external forces in that direction

By applying motion equations, V= U+ at

where ,

  • v - final velocity
  • u - initial velocity
  • a-acceleration
  • t - time

v = u +at

As no force act on the ball ( we neglect air resistance here) no acceleration is seen,

So v = u = 40m/s
