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.

If an astronaut had a mass of 30 kg on the moon what would his mass be on earth?

Novay_Z [31]

Explanation:

A one-kilogram mass is still a one-kilogram(as mass is an intrinsic property of the object) but the downward force due to gravity, and therefore it's weight, is only one-sixth of what the object would have on the Earth. So man of mass 180 pounds weights only about 30 pounds-force when visiting the moon

hope it help..... pls add me as brainlist.

A 2.3 m long wire weighing 0.075 N/m is suspended directly above an infinitely straight wire. The top wire carries a current of

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Magnetic field near current carrying wire

= $\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{2i}{r}$

i is current , r is distance from wire

B = 10⁻⁷ x $\frac{2\times49}{r}$

force on second wire per unit length

B I L , I is current in second wire , L is length of wire

= 10⁻⁷ x $\frac{2\times49}{r}$ x 33 x 1

= 3234 x $\frac{10^{-7}}{r}$

This should balance weight of second wire per unit length

3234 x $\frac{10^{-7}}{r}$ = .075

r = $\frac{3234}{.075}$ x 10⁻⁷

= .0043 m

= .43 cm .

1. A sprinter races in the 100 meter dash. It takes him 10 second to reach the finish line

poizon [28]

Answer:

v = 10 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance covered by a sprinter, d = 100 m

Time taken by him to reach the finish line, t = 10 s

We need to find his average velocity. We know that velocity is equal to the distance covered divided by time taken. So,

v = d/t

$v=\dfrac{100\ m}{10\ s}\\\\v=10\ m/s$

Hence, his average velocity is 10 m/s.
