Answer:

a   W_{3.5} = 490 \  J

b  W_{2.5} =  250 \  J

Explanation:

Generally the force constant is mathematically represented as

       k  = \frac{F}{x}

substituting values given in the question

=>   k  = \frac{16}{0.2}

=>   k  =  80 \ N /m

Generally the workdone  in stretching the spring 3.5 m is mathematically represented as

       W_{3.5} =  \frac{1}{2}  *  k  *  (3.5)^2

=>     W_{3.5} =  \frac{1}{2}  *  80  *  (3.5)^2

=>    W_{3.5} = 490 \  J

Generally the workdone  in compressing the spring 2.5 m is mathematically represented as

        W_{2.5} =  \frac{1}{2}  *  k  *  (2.5)^2

=>      W_{2.5} =  \frac{1}{2}  *  80 *  (2.5)^2

=>       W_{2.5} =  250 \  J

What does this observation tell you about the relationship between the external force applied and the object’s acceleration (the
Dvinal [7]

Explanation:

Newton’s second law of motion is closely related to Newton’s first law of motion. It mathematically states the cause and effect relationship between force and changes in motion. Newton’s second law of motion is more quantitative and is used extensively to calculate what happens in situations involving a force. Before we can write down Newton’s second law as a simple equation giving the exact relationship of force, mass, and acceleration, we need to sharpen some ideas that have already been mentioned.

First, what do we mean by a change in motion? The answer is that a change in motion is equivalent to a change in velocity. A change in velocity means, by definition, that there is an acceleration. Newton’s first law says that a net external force causes a change in motion; thus, we see that a net external force causes acceleration.

Give two examples of chemical energy being transformed into electrical energy
julsineya [31]
It can be used to create electricity and heat and can be found in propane , jet fuel, gasoline and other products. Wood - Dry wood stores chemical energy . This chemical energy is released as the wood burns, and it is burns, and it is converted into heat, which is also called thermal energy, and light energy. ( hope this be helpful)

Unpolarized light of intensity I=10 falls on two successive polarizer wheels with the angle between the polarizer wheels e-60°.
yan [13]

Answer:

I=\frac{10}{4}

Explanation:

A polarizer changes the orientation of the oscillations of a light wave.

I₀ = Intensity of unpolarized light = 10

θ = Angle given to the polarizer = 60°

Intensity of light

I = I₀cos²θ

⇒I = 10cos²60

\\\Rightarrow I=10\times \frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{2}\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{10}{4}

So, the after passing through the second polarizer is \mathbf{\frac{10}{4}}
