The elastic potential energy of the spring is 0.31 J

Explanation:

The elastic potential energy of a spring is given by

$E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

where

k is the spring constant

x is the compression/stretching of the spring

For the spring in this problem, we have:

k = 500 N/m (spring constant)

x = 0.035 m (compression)

Substituting, we find the elastic potential energy:

$E=\frac{1}{2}(500)(0.035)^2=0.31 J$

It takes 15 min to drive 6.0 mi in a straight line to the local hospital. It takes 10 min to go the last 3.0 mi, 2.0 min to go t

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

36.87 km/h

Explanation:

Convert all the units in SI system

1 mile = 1609.34 m

d1 = 6 mi = 9656.04 m

t1 = 15 min = 15 x 60 = 900 s

d2 = 3 mi = 4828.02 m

t2 = 10 min = 10 x 60 = 600 s

d3 = 1 mi = 1609.34 m

t3 = 2 min = 2 x 60 = 120 s

d4 = 0.5 mi = 804.67 m

t4 = 0.5 min = 0.5 x 60 = 30 s

Total distance, d = d1 + d2 + d3 + d4

d = 9656.04 + 4828.02 + 1609.34 + 804.67 = 16898.07 m = 16.898 km

total time, t = t1 + t2 + t3 + t4

t = 900 + 600 + 120 + 30 = 1650 s = 0.4583 h

The ratio of the total distance covered to the total time taken is called average speed.

Average speed = 16.898 / 0.4583 = 36.87 km/h

A 42.0-kg parachutist is moving straight downward with a speed of 3.85 m/s. (a) If the parachutist comes to rest with constant a

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

-414.96 N

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0^2-3.85^2}{2\times 0.75}\\\Rightarrow a=-9.88\ m/s^2$

$F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=42\times -9.88\\\Rightarrow F=-414.96\ N$

The force the ground exerts on the parachutist is -414.96 N

If the distance is shorter than 0.75 m then the acceleration will increase causing the force to increase

Anettt [7]

Answer:

B. and D. would be my best guess.

Explanation:

The reason why is because if you lower the resistance, the voltage will be higher, and if you higher the voltage, the resistance would be lower and the voltage would higher.
