Answer:

W'=\dfrac{W}{9}

Explanation:

The potential energy of the spring or the work done by the spring is given by :

W=\dfrac{1}{2}kd^2............(1)

k is the spring constant

d is the compression

When the spring is compressed a distance d' = d/3, let W' is the work is required to load the second dart. Then the work done is given by :

W'=\dfrac{1}{2}kd'^2

W'=\dfrac{1}{2}k(d/3)^2.............(2)

Dividing equation (1) and (2) :

\dfrac{W}{W'}=\dfrac{1/2kd^2}{1/2k(d/3)^2}

\dfrac{W}{W'}=9

W'=\dfrac{W}{9}

So, the work required  to load the second dart compared to that required to load the first is one-Ninth as much. Therefore, the correct option is (E).

Which sphere of Earth is associated with plate tectonics?
Marrrta [24]

When looking at this question, we can easily start by eliminating certain answers. In the selections you've provided, you've shown atmosphere. We can easily eliminate letter A, as that makes absolutely no sense. Moving on, you also eliminate letter B, as that deals with ecosystems and whatnot. And finally, you can eliminate hydrosphere, letter C - as that's not the same. That deals with water, like oceans or rivers.

That leaves you with D) Lithosphere for your answer. The Lithosphere is the rigid part of the earth, the outermost layer, I would say. The crust / mantle. That's why it would be letter D - plate tectonics seem to have relations with the Lithosphere. The lithosphere is affected.

docker41 [41]

Answer:

Angular velocity is same as frequency of oscillation in this case.

ω = \sqrt{\frac{7K}{m} } x [\frac{L^{2}}{mK}]^{3/14}

Explanation:

- write the equation F(r) = -Kr^{4} with angular momentum <em>L</em>

- Get the necessary centripetal acceleration with radius r₀ and make r₀ the subject.

- Write the energy of the orbit in relative to r = 0, and solve for "E".

- Find the second derivative of effective potential to calculate the frequency of small radial oscillations. This is the effective spring constant.

- Solve for effective potential

- ω = \sqrt{\frac{7K}{m} } x [\frac{L^{2}}{mK}]^{3/14}

Fiora starts riding her bike at 20 mi/h. After a while, she slows down to 14 mi/h, and maintains that speed for the rest of the
goblinko [34]

Answer:

3.5 hours

Explanation:

Speed = distance/time

Let the distance that Fiora biked at 20 mi/h through be x miles and the time it took her to bike through that distance be t hours at 20 mi/h

Then, the rest of the distance that she biked at 14 mi/h is (112 - x) miles

And the time she spent biking at 14 mi/h the rest of the distance = (6.5 - t) hours

Her first biking speed = 20 mph = 20 miles/hour

Speed = distance/time

20 = x/t

x = 20 t (eqn 1)

Her second biking speed = 14 mph = 14 miles/hour

14 = (112 - x)/(6.5 - t)

112 - x = 14 (6.5 - t)

112 - x = 91 - 14t (eqn 2)

Substitute for x in (eqn 2)

112 - 20t = 91 - 14t

20t - 14t = 112 - 91

6t = 21

t = 3.5 hours

x = 20t = 20 × 3.5 = 70 miles.

(112 - x) = 112 - 70 = 42 miles

(6.5 - t) = 6.5 - 3.5 = 3 hours

Meaning that she travelled at 20 mi/h for 3.5 hours.
