Answer:

240.1 N/m

Explanation:

Applying the formula for the potential energy stored in a stretched spring,

E = 1/2ke².................... Equation 1

Where E = potential energy, k = spring constant, e = extension.

make k the subject of the equation,

k = 2E/e².................. Equation 2

Given: E = 35 J, e = 0.54 m

Substitute into equation 2

k = 2(35)/0.54²

k = 70/0.2916

k = 240.1 N/m.

Hence the spring constant of the spring is 240.1 N/m

Why is sustainable use important?

marusya05 [52]

To make sure that we have enough resourses to sustain ourselves. You see, if we use up, say, all water on earth, then obviously we won't have any more and we'll die.

Distance = 6 km south<br><br> 60 minutes<br><br> What was the average velocity

blsea [12.9K]

v = x/t

v = average velocity, x = displacement, t = elapsed time

Given values:

x = 6km south, t = 60min

Plug in and solve for v:

v = 6/60

v = 0.1km/min south

how much gravitational potential energy do you give a 70 kg person when you lift him up 3 m in the air?

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Given gravitational potential energy when he's lifted is 2058 J.

Kinetic energy is transferred to the person.

Amount of kinetic energy the person has is -2058 J

velocity of person = 7.67 m/s².

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Given:

Weight of person = 70 kg

Lifted height = 3 m

1. Gravitational potential energy of a lifted person is equal to the work done.

$PE_g=W=m\times g\times h\\Acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 \ m/s^2 \\PE_g= m = m\times g\times h= 70\times 9.8 \times 3 = 2058\ kg.m/s^2 = 2058\ J$

Gravitational potential energy is equal to 2058 Joules.

2. The Gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is being transferred to the person.

3. Kinetic energy gained = Potential energy lost = $-PE_g = -2058\ kg.m/s^2$

Kinetic energy gained by the person = (-2058 kg.m/s²)

4. Velocity = ?

Kinetic energy magnitude= $\frac{1}{2} m\times v^2 = m\times g \times h$

Solving for v, we get

$v=\sqrt{2gh} =\sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 3} = \sqrt{58.8} = 7.67 m/s^2$

The person will be going at a speed of 7.67 m/s².

What type of energy transfer occurs through light or electromagnetic waves?

Free_Kalibri [48]

Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through space by electromagnetic radiation. Most of the electromagnetic radiation that comes to the earth from the sun is in the form of visible light. Light is made of waves of different frequencies.
