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.

At the nose of a missile in flight, the pressure and temperature are 5.6 atm and 850°R, respectively. Calculate the density and
Contact [7]

To solve this problem we will apply the definition of the ideal gas equation, where we will clear the density variable. In turn, the specific volume is the inverse of the density, so once the first term has been completed, we will simply proceed to divide it by 1. According to the definition of 1 atmosphere, this is equivalent in the English system to

1atm = 2116lb/ft^2

The ideal gas equation said us that,

PV = nRT

Here,

P = pressure

V = Volume

R = Gas ideal constant

T = Temperature

n = Amount of substance (at this case the mass)

Then

\frac{n}{V} = \frac{P}{RT}

The amount of substance per volume is the density, then

\rho = \frac{P}{RT}

Replacing with our values,

\rho = \frac{5.6*2116}{1716*850}

\rho = 0.00812slug/ft^3

Finally the specific volume would be

v = \frac{1}{\rho}

v = 123ft^3/slug

True. That is how powerful the sun is. But it will explode in only about 5 billion years.

Based on what you have read provide two positives and two negatives the Suarez family would face if they switch to organic farmi
arlik [135]

Hi, you did not enter the text about the Suarez family, which makes it impossible for this question to be answered accurately. However, from the context of your question, it is possible to see that you want to know two positive and negative points that the Suarez family would observe when starting a planting of organic agriculture.

Among the negative points, we can say that organic agriculture has a high cost, as the techniques used in it require a greater number of resources, which can make not only the service more expensive, but also the product. A second negative point is that the techniques used in organic agriculture are more difficult than the techniques used in conventional agriculture, since all management of organic crops must be carried out without the application of chemical products.

Among the positive points, we can say that the growing number of consumers of organic products can increase the profit that the family will have from the sale of these products. In addition, the family will have healthier, less polluted and more productive land.

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

Nikitich [7]
<h2>Answer: B. Gravitational potential energy </h2>

Explanation:

<em>The gravitational potential energy is the energy that a body or object possesses, due to its position in a gravitational field. </em>

That is why this energy depends on the relative height of an object with respect to some point of reference and associated with the gravitational force.

In the case of the <u>Earth</u>, in which  <u>the gravitational field is considered constant</u>, the value of the gravitational potential energy U_{p} will be:

U_{p}=mgh  

Where m is the mass of the object, g the acceleration due gravity and h the height of the object.

As we can see, the value of U_{p} is directly proportional to the height.
