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 horizontal force of 100 N is required to push a 50 kg crate across a factory floor at a constant speed. What is the accelerati

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

a = 2m/s^2

Explanation:

Force (F) = 100 N

Mass (m) = 50 kg

Here,

F = m×a

100 = 50 × a

a = 100÷50

a = 2m/s^2

Thus, the acceleration on the cart is a = 2m/s^2

A person of mass m is standing on the surface of the Earth, of mass M E . What is the acceleration that the Earth experiences du

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

$a_E=\dfrac{Gm}{r^2}$

Explanation:

$M_E$ = Mass of the Earth = 5.972 × 10²⁴ kg

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

r = Radius of Earth = 6371000 m

m = Mass of person

The force on the person will balance the gravitational force

$M_Ea_E=\dfrac{GmM_E}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow a_E=\dfrac{Gm}{r^2}$

The acceleration that the Earth will feel is $a_E=\dfrac{Gm}{r^2}$
