Answer:Work

Explanation:

When a spring is compressed the energy changes from kinetic to potential energy as Energy cannot be destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another.

This can be best explained with the help of work. Suppose a block with certain kinetic energy comes in contact to the spring its kinetic energy changes to Potential Energy of the spring or we can say that its Kinetic Energy is converted to Potential energy as the block does work on spring.

Block compresses the spring by changing its length and it requires some work which is equal to change in its Potential Energy of spring.

What happens when pressure is applied to a solid.

Answer:

When the pressure surrounding a substance increases, the freezing point and other special points also go up. It is easier to keep things solid when they are under greater pressure. Generally, solids are more dense than liquids because their molecules are closer together.

1.A graduated cylinder with a least count of = 0.5 ml is used in a density

Anna007 [38]

We have that

From the question we are told

A graduated cylinder with a least count of $\pm 0.5 ml$
The initial water level, before inserting the irregular
shaped solid.
Is 30.0 ml. After inserting the solid,
The water level is 34.5 ml.

Generally the equation for the new quantity. is mathematically given as

X=Initial level - Final Level $\pm$ (initial and final error)

Therefore

$X (34.5-30.0) \pm(0.5+0.5)\\\\X= 4.5\pm 1.0$

Therefore

The Probable error is

$x=\pm 1.0ml$

Answer:

c. the rotation and revolution of the moon are the same as the earth

Explanation:

that we only see one side of the moon because the moon rotates around the Earth at the exact same speed as it rotates around its own axis, so that the same side of the moon is constantly facing the surface of the earth.
