Answer:

The ratio of the energy stored by spring #1 to that stored by spring #2 is 2:1

Explanation:

Let the weight that is hooked to two springs be w.

Spring#1:

Force constant= k

let x1 be the extension in spring#1

Therefore by balancing the forces, we get

Spring force= weight

⇒k·x1=w

⇒x1=w/k

Energy stored in a spring is given by \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} where k is the force constant and x is the extension in spring.

Therefore Energy stored in spring#1 is, \frac{1}{2}k(x1)^{2}

                                                              ⇒\frac{1}{2}k(\frac{w}{k})^{2}

                                                              ⇒\frac{w^{2}}{2k}

Spring #2:

Force constant= 2k

let x2 be the extension in spring#2

Therefore by balancing the forces, we get

Spring force= weight

⇒2k·x2=w

⇒x2=w/2k

Therefore Energy stored in spring#2 is, \frac{1}{2}2k(x2)^{2}

                                                              ⇒\frac{1}{2}2k(\frac{w}{2k})^{2}

                                                              ⇒\frac{w^{2}}{4k}

∴The ratio of the energy stored by spring #1 to that stored by spring #2 is \frac{\frac{w^{2}}{2k}}{\frac{w^{2}}{4k}}=2:1

What current flow (I) is associated with an input voltage of 5.0V and resistors R1 = 1.5 kiloohms and R2 = 0.5 kiloohms? Calcula
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

current in series is 2.50 mA

current in parallel is 13.51 mA

Explanation:

given data

voltage = 5 V

resistors R1 = 1.5 kilo ohms

resistors R2 = 0.5 kilo ohms

to given data

current flow

solution

current flow in series is express as here

current = voltage / resistor    .................1

put here all value  in equation 1

current = 5 / (1.5 + 0.5)

current = 5 / 2.0

so current = 2.50 mA

and

current flow in parallel is express as

current = voltage / resistor   ....................2

put here all value in equation  2

current = 5 / (1/ (1/1.5 + 1/0.5))

current = 5 / 0.37

so current = 13.31 mA

If a town was 90 miles away and you travel at 45 mph how long would it take to get there
notka56 [123]

Answer:

t = 2 hours

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance of the town, d = 90 miles

Speed, v = 45 mph

We need to find the time to get there. The speed of an object is given by :

v=\dfrac{d}{t}

Where

t is time

t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{90}{45}\\\\t=2\ h

So, the required time is 2 hours.
