Answer:

T = 4 sec / 2 = 2 sec      period of revolution

S = 2 pi R = 2 * pi * 1.75 m = 11 m

V = S / T = 11 m / 2 sec = 5.5 m/s       speed of object

Answer: 1175 J

Explanation:

Hooke's Law states that "the strain in a solid is proportional to the applied stress within the elastic limit of that solid."

Given

Spring constant, k = 102 N/m

Extension of the hose, x = 4.8 m

from the question, x(f) = 0 and x(i) = maximum elongation = 4.8 m

Work done =

W = 1/2 k [x(i)² - x(f)²]

Since x(f) = 0, then

W = 1/2 k x(i)²

W = 1/2 * 102 * 4.8²

W = 1/2 * 102 * 23.04

W = 1/2 * 2350.08

W = 1175.04

W = 1175 J

Therefore, the hose does a work of exactly 1175 J on the balloon

Which statement best explains how a planet affects the orbit of a comet as the comet passes by the planet?
mezya [45]
Comets orbit the sun just like planets do. Except a comet usually has a very elongated orbit. Thanks to the laws of gravity comets obey the same laws. A comets orbit takes it very close to the sun and then far away again.
