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.

A student hangs a weight on a newtonmeter. The energy currently stored in the spring in the newton meter is 0.045N. The student
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

5x10^-3

Explanation:

Hooke's Law states that the force needed to compress or extend a spring is directly proportional to the distance you stretch it.

Hooke's Law can be represented as

<h3> F = kx, </h3>

<em>where F is the force </em>

<em>            k is the spring constant</em>

<em>            x is the extension of the material </em>

<em />

Plug values in the equation

Step 1 find the original extension

0.045 = (400)x

x = 1.125x 10^-4 m d

Step 2 find the new extension

0.045+2 = 400(x)

2.045 = 400x

x = 5.1125x10^-3

Step 3 subtract the new extension with original

Total extension of the spring =  5.1125x10^-3 - 1.125x 10^-4 m = 5x10^-3

How the Law of Conservation of Matter is supported by the experimental demonstrations?
Delvig [45]
The law of conservation of matter states that matter cannot be created nor destroyed. It can only be transformed from one form to another. To state an example where this is shown, let's say a piece of paper is burning. Not having a scientific background, you would say that the matter is being destroyed. But in reality, the paper is simple being transformed to ash, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. Overall, the total mass would still remain the same.

When running a half marathon (13.1 miles), it took Kevin 8 minutes to run from mile marker 1 to mile marker 2, and 18 minutes to
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

It took Kevin 26 minutes to run from markers 1 to 4

His average speed from mile markers 1 to 4 is 0.154 miles/minute

Kevin must run by average speed 0.1 miles/minute to finish the race

Explanation:

Lets explain how to solve the problem

A half marathon 13.1 miles

Kevin took 8 minutes to run from mile marker 1 to mile marker 2 and

18 minutes to run from mile marker 2 to mile marker 4

→ He took 8 minutes and 18 minutes to run from marker 1 to marker 4

→ The total time of the first 4 marker = 8 + 18 = 26 minutes

<em>It took Kevin 26 minutes to run from markers 1 to 4</em>

<em></em>

Average speed is total distance divided by total time

The average speed of Kevin as he ran from mile marker 1 to mile

marker 4 is the 4 miles divides by 26 minutes

→ Average speed = 4 ÷ 26 = \frac{2}{13} = 0.154 miles/minute

<em>His average speed from mile markers 1 to 4 is 0.154 miles/minute</em>

<em></em>

It took Kevin 71 minutes to pass mile marker 9

Kevin need to complete the race in 112 minutes, then what must

Kevin's average speed be as he travels from mile marker 9 to the

finish line?

The total distance of the race is 13.1 miles, he ran 9 miles

→ The remaining distance = 13.1 - 9 = 4.1 miles

He must run 4.1 miles to complete the race

The total time is 112 minutes, he used 71 minutes to run the first 9 miles

→ The remaining time = 112 - 71 = 41 minutes

He must finish the 4.1 miles in 41 minutes

→ His average speed for the last part of the race = 4.1 ÷ 41 = 0.1 mi/min

<em>Kevin must run by average speed 0.1 miles/minute to finish the race</em>

The kinetic energy of a body of mass 15 kg is 30 joule. What is its momentum?
lys-0071 [83]

This problem is a piece o' cake, IF you know the formulas for both kinetic energy and momentum.  So here they are:

Kinetic energy = (1/2) · (mass) · (speed²)

Momentum = (mass) · (speed)

So, now ... We know that

==> mass = 15 kg,  and

==> kinetic energy = 30 Joules

Take those pieces of info and pluggum into the formula for kinetic energy:

Kinetic energy = (1/2) · (mass) · (speed²)

30 Joules = (1/2) · (15 kg) · (speed²)

60 Joules = (15 kg) · (speed²)

4 m²/s² = speed²

Speed = 2 m/s

THAT's all you need !  Now you can find momentum:

Momentum = (mass) · (speed)

Momentum = (15 kg) · (2 m/s)

<em>Momentum = 30 kg·m/s</em>

<em>(Notice that in this problem, although their units are different, the magnitude of the KE is equal to the magnitude of the momentum.  When I saw this, I wondered whether that's always true.  So I did a little more work, and I found out that it isn't ... it's a coincidence that's true for this problem and some others, but it's usually not true.)</em>
