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.

a car travelling at 50km/h from rest covers a distance of 10km in 40minutes. Calculate the acceleration

Margarita [4]

Answer:

$9.67\cdot 10^{-3}m/s^2$

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the following suvat equation:

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the displacement

For the car in this problem:

u = 0 (it starts from rest)

$v=50 km/h \cdot \frac{1000}{3600}=13.9 m/s$ is the final velocity

s = 10 km = 10 000 m is the displacement

Solving for a, we find:

$a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}=\frac{13.9^2}{2(10000)}=9.67\cdot 10^{-3}m/s^2$

What is the equivalent resistance of a circuit that contains four 75.0 resistors connected in parallel with a 100.0 V battery?

zhannawk [14.2K]

To get the total resistance in a parallel circuit, you need to remember that unlike in a series, you do not just merely add the resistances. You need to get the reciprocal first of each resistance and add them together.

$\frac{1}{R_{T}} = \frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}}+\frac{1}{R_{3}}... +\frac{1}{R_{n}}$

After adding them, you will get the reciprocal again and then compute for the value. The problem says that there are 4 resistors in the circuit that have a resistance of 75.

$\frac{1}{R_{T}} = \frac{1}{75}+\frac{1}{75}+\frac{1}{75}+\frac{1}{75}$

Add up the numerator and copy the denominator:

$\frac{1}{R_{T}} = \frac{4}{75}$

Then get the reciprocal to get the total resistance:

$R _{T} = \frac{75}{4} = 18.75$

The answer to your question then is A. 18.8.

A negatively charged rod is placed near two neutral metal spheres, as shown below. Which statements describe the charging method

grin007 [14]

<h3>Answer;</h3>

<em>The spheres develop opposite charges. </em>
<em>Electrons move from Sphere A to Sphere B. </em>
<em>The spheres are charged through induction.</em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<u><em>When a negatively charged rod is placed near two neutral metal spheres, the spheres will develop opposite charges, because the neutral metal spheres have both negative and positive charges. </em></u>From the basic law of electrostatics unlike charges attracts and like charges repel.
Thus, <em><u>the sphere will develop opposite charges, electrons will move from Sphere A to sphere B,</u></em> hence we say that the spheres will be charged by induction such that sphere A will acquire a positive charge while sphere B will acquire negative charge.

In which direction does a bag at rest move when a force of 20 newton's is applied from the right?

Olegator [25]

The bag moves to the left.

This is because of Newton's third law of motion that states:

For every action force on a body, there is an opposite and equal reaction force.

Thus pushing the bag from the right makes it move to the left.
