Answer:

114.44 J

Explanation:

From Hook's Law,

F = ke................. Equation 1

Where F = Force required to stretch the spring, k = spring constant, e = extension.

make k the subject of the equation

k = F/e.............. Equation 2

Given: F = 10 lb = (10×4.45) N = 44.5 N, e = 4 in = (4×0.254) = 1.016 m.

Substitute into equation 2

k = 44.5/1.016

k = 43.799 N/m

Work done in stretching the 9 in beyond its natural length

W = 1/2ke²................. Equation 3

Given: e = 9 in = (9×0.254) = 2.286 m, k = 43.799 N/m

Substitute into equation 3

W = 1/2×43.799×2.286²

W = 114.44 J

<h2>Answer:</h2>

11.47J

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Hooke's law states that the force or load (F) applied to an elastic material (e.g a spring) is directly proportional to the extension or compression (e) caused by the load. i.e

F ∝ e

F = k e          ---------------(i)

where;

k = proportionality constant called the spring or elastic constant.

<em>From the question,</em>

F = Force = 10 lb

[Remember that 1 lb = 4.45 N]        

=> F = 10 x 4.45 N = 44.5 N            

<em>Also;</em>

e = extension = 4 in

[Remember that 1 in = 0.0254 m]

e = 4 x 0.0254 m = 0.1016 m

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) to get the spring constant of the spring as follows;</em>

44.5 = k x 0.1016

k = \frac{44.5}{0.1016}

k = 439N/m

<em>Now, lets calculate the work done</em>

The workdone W, in stretching a spring from its natural length to some length beyond the natural length, is given by;

W = \frac{1}{2} x k x e²              --------------------(ii)

Where;

k = the spring's constant = 439N/m                      [as calculated above]

e = extension  = 9 in = 9 x 0.0254m = 0.2286m  [Recall: 1 in  = 0.0254m]

<em>Substitute these values into equation (ii) as follows;</em>

W = \frac{1}{2} x 439 x (0.02286)²

W = 11.47 Nm or 11.47J

Therefore, the work done is 11.47J

What happens when water at 4° celsius is heated further?​
Elden [556K]

Answer:

please give me brainlist and follow

Explanation:

4 degrees C turns out to be the temperature at which liquid water has the highest density. If you heat it or cool it, it will expand. ... Ice floats on top of lakes, preventing evaporation (and convection in the frozen layer), and lakes stay liquid underneath, allowing fish and other life to survive.

What combination of variables will make an experiment the most reliable
Virty [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

A combination of two controlled variables will make an experiment the most reliable.

Variables are the values that we take under any circumstance while doing an experiment so that we can keep on changing  and get new results at the end.

It is important to have them in pair so that two values can be kept on changing in terms of any constant condition. This will help to get better results in over all experiment data.

Match each form of Energy with it's definition. Energy of motion Question 7 options: mechanical energy kinetic energy chemical e
Komok [63]

Answer:

a fireplace or burn gasoline in a car's engine.

Mechanical energy is energy stored in objects by tension. Compressed springs and stretched rubber bands are examples of stored mechanical energy.

Nuclear energy is energy stored in the nucleus of an atom—the energy that holds the nucleus together. Large amounts of energy can be released when the nuclei are combined or split apart.

Gravitational energy is energy stored in an object's height. The higher and heavier the object, the more gravitational energy is stored. When a person rides a bicycle down a steep hill and picks up speed, the gravitational energy is converting to motion energy. Hydropower is another example of gravitational energy, where gravity forces water down through a hydroelectric turbine to produce electricity.

Kinetic energy

Kinetic energy is the motion of waves, electrons, atoms, molecules, substances, and objects.

Radiant energy is electromagnetic energy that travels in transverse waves. Radiant energy includes visible light, x-rays, gamma rays, and radio waves. Light is one type of radiant energy. Sunshine is radiant energy, which provides the fuel and warmth that make life on earth possible.

Thermal energy, or heat, is the energy that comes from the movement of atoms and molecules in a substance. Heat increases when these particles move faster. Geothermal energy is the thermal energy in the earth.

Motion energy is energy stored in the movement of objects. The faster they move, the more energy is stored. It takes energy to get an object moving, and energy is released when an object slows down. Wind is an example of motion energy. A dramatic example of motion energy is a car crash—a car comes to a total stop and releases all of its motion energy at once in an uncontrolled instant.

Sound is the movement of energy through substances in longitudinal (compression/rarefaction) waves. Sound is produced when a force causes an object or substance to vibrate. The energy is transferred through the substance in a wave. Typically, the energy in sound is smaller than in other forms of energy.

Electrical energy is delivered by tiny charged particles called electrons, typically moving through a wire. Lightning is an example of electrical energy in nature.

The change in the angle of circular motion is analogous to ____ in linear motion
snow_lady [41]

The change in the angle of circular motion is analogous to <u>linear velocity</u> in linear motion

<u>Explanation:</u>

We define angular velocity ω as the rate of change of an angle. The greater the rotation angle in a given amount of time, the greater the angular velocity. angular velocity refers to how fast an object rotates or revolves relative to another point, i.e. how fast the angular position or orientation of an object changes with time.

The units for angular velocity are radians per second (rad/s). Angular velocity ω is analogous to linear velocity v. Linear velocity is the measure of “the rate of change of displacement with respect to time when the object moves along a straight path.” It is a vector quantity.
