Answer:
Potential energy of spring = 24 Joules.
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Spring constant = 85N/m
Extension, e = 0.75m
Mass = 25kg
To find the potential energy of a spring
Potential energy of a spring is given by the formula;
P.E = ½ke²
Substituting into the equation, we have
P.E = ½*85*0.75²
P.E = 42.5 * 0.5625
P.E = 23.91 ≈ 24 Joules
P.E = 24 Joules
The correct answer is - A. Plants store solar energy; the plants die; the plants are compressed; solar energy is released;
The plants use the solar energy for their functioning, thus they are one of the biggest natural storage of it. The plants also use the CO2 for the process of photosynthesis that is driven by the solar energy. When the plants die, the things inside them are stored in them, and if they are quickly covered they will remain stored and not get back into the atmosphere. The plants than are compressed, and over time that leads to a change in their composition. After millions of years had passed, the solar energy and CO2 had turned into coal. The coal is heavily used by the humans in the past few centuries, and with its burning the solar energy and the CO2 are released back into the atmosphere from which they came millions of years ago.
We will apply the Newton's second Law so the we will be able to find the acceleration.
F (tot) = ma
a = F(tot) / m
a = 32.0 N / 65.0 kg = 0.492 m/s^2
Approximately 0.492 m/s^2 is her initial acceleration if she is initially stationary and wearing steel-bladed skates.
Answer: 0.798 m
Explanation:
Given
Mass of the spring oscillator, m = 1.48 kg
Force constant of the spring, k = 35.4 N/m
Speed of oscillation, v = 3.9 m/s
Kinetic Energy = 1/2 mv²
Kinetic Energy = 1/2 * 1.48 * 3.9²
KE = 0.5 * 22.5108
KE = 11.26 J
Using the law of conservation of Energy. The Potential Energy of the system is equal to Kinetic Energy of the system
KE = PE
PE = 1/2kx²
11.26 = 1/2 * 35.4 * x²
11.26 = 17.7x²
x² = 11.26 / 17.7
x² = 0.6362
x = √0.6362
x = 0.798 m
