Answer:

<em> The distance required = 16.97 cm</em>

Explanation:

Hook's Law

From Hook's law, the potential energy stored in a stretched spring

E = 1/2ke² ......................... Equation 1

making e the subject of the equation,

e = √(2E/k)........................ Equation 2

Where E = potential Energy of the stretched spring, k = elastic constant of the spring, e = extension.

Given: k = 450 N/m, e = 12 cm = 0.12 m.

E = 1/2(450)(0.12)²

E = 225(0.12)²

E = 3.24 J.

When the potential energy is doubled,

I.e E = 2×3.24

E = 6.48 J.

Substituting into equation 2,

e = √(2×6.48/450)

e = √0.0288

e = 0.1697 m

<em>e = 16.97 cm</em>

<em>Thus the distance required = 16.97 cm</em>

Do you think that the color of materials used for designing the seating of wheel chair has any role in regulating the heat? Expl
enot [183]

Answer:

Yes. Check reason below

Explanation:

Yes the color of materials has a role in regulating the heat. This is because colors vary in their abilities to absorb heat energy.

The ability of colors to absorb heat decreases with a decreasing wavelength. As the wavelength decreases, the color becomes cooler because of a decrease in the rate of heat absorption. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet ( In order of decreasing wavelength)

The higher the ability to absorb heat energy, the hotter the body is. Black color absorbs more heat than other colors, hence is hotter than other colors. Colors that have high reflective ability ( ie. reflect back a large portion of the light that falls on them) are a lot  cooler than those with high absorptive ability. An example is white ( a combination of all visible lights)

Therefore, in designing the seating of a wheel the color should be highly considered for heat regulation.

If the absolute pressure of a gas is 550.280 kPa, its gage pressure is
aivan3 [116]

By definition we have to:

Pabs = Patm + Pg

Where,

Pabs: absolute pressure

Patm: atmospheric pressure

Pg: gage pressure

The atmospheric pressure is constant and its value is:

Patm = 101.325 kPa

Then, by clearing gage pressure we have:

Pg = Pabs - Patm

Substituting values we have:

Pg = 550.280 - 101.325\\Pg = 448.955 KPa

Answer:

If the absolute pressure of a gas is 550.280 kPa, its gage pressure is:

D. 448.955 kPa

Gwar [14]

Answer:

a)

Explanation:

As the visible light, infrared and radio waves are all electromagnetic waves with different frequency and wavelength, all of them propagate through the space at the same constant speed which is the speed of light in vacuum, as they meet the following equation:
