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

How does seismic waves cause earthquakes?
Allisa [31]

Answer:

Seismic waves cause Earthquakes by shaking the ground aggressively and dangerously. These waves are usually calculated on a seismograph to calculate how hard the earthquake hit that area. A transform Boundary creates the tension when the tectonic plates gets stuck. It stays stuck for a long period of time. Then, at one point, the tectonic plates become unstuck which releases the tension into waves which are called seismic waves. Hope I answered you question.

Which one of the following statements does not accurately describe vibrations?
Paladinen [302]
A. Forced vibrations, such as those between a tuning fork and a large cabinet surface, result in a much lower sound than was produced by the original vibrating body.
