Answer:
a)1815Joules b) 185Joules
Explanation:
Hooke's law states that the extension of a material is directly proportional to the applied force provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded. Mathematically;
F = ke where;
F is the applied force
k is the elastic constant
e is the extension of the material
From the formula, k = F/e
F1/e1 = F2/e2
If a force of 60N causes an extension of 0.5m of the string from its equilibrium position, the elastic constant of the spring will be ;
k = 60/0.5
k = 120N/m
a) To get the work done in stretching the spring 5.5m from its position,
Work done by the spring = 1/2ke²
Given k = 120N/m, e = 5.5m
Work done = 1/2×120×5.5²
Work done = 60× 5.5²
Work done = 1815Joules
b) work done in compressing the spring 1.5m from its equilibrium position will be gotten using the same formula;
Work done = 1/2ke²
Work done =1/2× 120×1.5²
Works done = 60×1.5²
Work done = 135Joules
Answer: A. The acceleration of an object is determined by its mass and the net force acting on it.
Explanation:
Newton's second law of motion explains that the acceleration of an object will depend on two vital variables which are the mass of the object and the net force that's acting on it.
It should be noted that the acceleration of the object directly depend on the net force while it depends inversely on the mass. Therefore, when the force that's acting on such object is increased, then the acceleration will increase as well. On the other hand, when there is an increase in mass, there'll be a reduction in the acceleration.
The temperature of the early solar system explains why the inner planets are rocky and the outer ones are gaseous. As the gases coalesced to form a protosun, the temperature in the solar system rose. In the inner solar system temperatures were as high as 2000 K, while in the outer solar system it was as cool as 50 K. In the inner solar system, only substances with very high melting points would have remained solid. All the rest would have vaoprized. So the inner solar system objects are made of iron, silicon, magnesium, sulfer, aluminum, calcium and nickel. Many of these were present in compounds with oxygen. There were relatively few elements of any other kind in a solid state to form the inner planets. The inner planets are much smaller than the outer planets and because of this have relatively low gravity and were not able to attract large amounts of gas to their atmospheres. In the outer regions of the solar system where it was cooler, other elements like water and methane did not vaporize and were able to form the giant planets. These planets were more massive than the inner planets and were able to attract large amounts of hydrogen and helium, which is why they are composed mainly of hydrogen and helium, the most abundant elements in the solar system, and in the universe

Answer: a. net force is acting on object A in the same direction of its motion.
Explanation:
The second law of Newton states that the acceleration of a particular object is dependent on two main things which are the mass and force. According to the law, the acceleration of the object will be directly related to the net force while the acceleration is also relates inversely to the mass.
Therefore, based on the information given in the question, a force is acting on object A in the same direction of its motion.
