Answer:

C. N/m (newtons/meter)

Explanation:

Since the equation for potential energy for a spring is PE = 1/2kx², after you know <em>k </em>and <em>x</em>, you will get an answer in Joules.

Please let me know if you want me to explain further!

Thanks!

Answer:

Option (c)

Explanation:

The spring constant is defined as the force per unit length of compression or expansion in spring. So it's unit is newton per metre.

Round your answers to one decimal place.this parallel circuit has two resistors at 15 and 40 ohms. what is the total resistance?
lubasha [3.4K]
1) The equivalent resistance of two resistors in parallel is given by:
\frac{1}{R_{eq}}= \frac{1}{R_1}+ \frac{1}{R_2}
so in our problem we have
\frac{1}{R_{eq}} =  \frac{1}{15 \Omega}+ \frac{1}{40 \Omega}=0.092 \Omega^{-1}
and the equivalent resistance is
R_{eq} =  \frac{1}{0.092 \Omega^{-1}}=10.9 \Omega

2) If we have a battery of 12 V connected to the circuit, the current in the circuit will be given by Ohm's law, therefore:
I= \frac{V}{R_{eq}}= \frac{12 V}{10.9 \Omega}=1.1 A

Evaporation of sweat cools the skin because
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer: c. the molecules with the highest energy evaporate first, lowering the temperature of the sample

Explanation:

The process by which liquid starts to change into vapor phase at any temperature is known as evaporation.

During evaporation , the molecules which possess higher energies escape from the upper layer into vapor phase. the molecules which escape draw energy from surroundings and thus decrease the energy of the surroundings and hence lead to decrease in temperature.

As temperature of the system is directly proportional to the energy of the system , thus decrease in energy leads to decrease in temperature.

K.E=\frac{3RT}{2}

K.E. = Kinetic energy

T = temperature

R= gas constant

As you found out in the previous part, bernoulli's equation tells us that a fluid element that flows through a flow tube with de
8090 [49]
This causes the fluid to increase its speed. Bernoulli's principle tells us that an increase in the speed of a fluid happens at the same time with a reduction in pressure or a reduction in the fluid's potential energy. This necessitates that the amount of kinetic energy, potential energy and internal energy stays persistent.
