Additional Work done to stretch the spring 0.4m is 6.4J

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u></u>

Given -

Work done to stretch a spring, W1 = 8J

Distance , d = 0.5m

Distance2, x = 0.4m

Work done 2, W2 = ?

Using Hooke's law,

Work done = k x

where k is spring constant

For distance 0.5m :

8 J = k X 0.5m

k = 8/0.5 = 16 J/m

For distance 0.4m:

W2 = 16 X 0.4 J

W2 = 6.4J

Additional Work done to stretch the spring 0.4m is 6.4J

Tourists covered 255 km for a 4-hour ride by car and a 7-hour ride by train. what is the speed of the train, if it is 5 km/h gre
LekaFEV [45]
The distance covered by car is equal to (assuming it is moving by uniform motion) the product between the car's speed and the time of the car ride, 4 h:
S_c = v_c t_c
where
v_c is the car's speed
t_c = 4 h is the duration of the car ride

Similarly, the distance covered by train is equal to the product between the train's speed and the duration of the train ride, 7 h:
S_t = v_t t_t

The total distance covered is S=255 km, which is the sum of the distances covered by car and train:
S=255 km = S_c + S_t
which becomes
255 = 4 v_c + 7 v_t (1)
we also know that the train speed is 5 km/h greater than the car's speed:
v_t = 5 + v_c (2)

If we put (2) into (1), we find
255 = 4v_c + 7(5+v_c)
and if we solve it, we find
v_c = 20 km/h
v_t = 25 km/h

So, the car speed is 20 km/h and the train speed is 25 km/h.

You and a friend each carry identical boxes from the first floor of a building to a room located on the second floor, farther do
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Work done in both the cases will be same

Explanation:

As we know that the work done against gravity is given as

W = F_g .d

here we know that gravitational force is a conservative force and the work done against gravitational force is independent of the path

So here the work done by person to move the object between two different heights will be independent of the path they choose

So for the first person and second person will be same in both the cases because the height through which the boxes are transferred will be same in both the cases

Find the orbital speed v for a satellite in a circular orbit of radius R.Express the orbital speed in terms of G, M, and R.
AlekseyPX
<h2>Answer:V=\sqrt{G\frac{M}{R}}  </h2>

The velocity of a satellite describing a circular orbit is <u>constant</u> and defined by the following expression:

V=\sqrt{G\frac{M}{R}}     (1)

Where:

G is the gravity constant

M the mass of the massive body around which the satellite is orbiting

R the radius of the orbit (measured from the center of the planet to the satellite).

Note this orbital speed, as well as orbital period, does not depend on the mass of the satellite. I<u>t depends on the mass of the massive body.</u>

In addition, this orbital speed is constant because at all times <u>both the kinetic energy and the potential remain constant</u> in a circular (closed) orbit.

"When Baby Ian is held horizontally on his back, he sometimes makes an embracing motion by arching his back, extending his legs,
Burka [1]

Answer:

Moro reflex  

Explanation:

The baby has a series of reflexes in its first months of life and they are very important for the good development of the little ones. One of them is the Moro Reflex. In this reflection, the baby spreads his arms wide, stretches his legs and extends his neck. Moro's reflex begins from birth and continues until about four months of the baby. It occurs when the baby abruptly shifts position or falls backwards or feels in an insecure position, at which time the baby makes a hug movement by arching his back, extending his legs, throwing his arms out and then bringing his arms. towards the body.
