The elastic potential energy of the spring is 6.8 J

Explanation:

The elastic potential energy of a compressed/stretched spring is given by the equation:

E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

where

k is the spring constant

x is the elongation of the spring

The spring constant of the spring in this problem can be found by keeping in mind the relationship between force (F) and elongation (x) (Hooke's law):

F=kx

By looking at the graph and comparing it with the formula, we realize that the slope of the force-elongation graph corresponds to the spring constant. Therefore in this case,

k=\frac{15.0-0}{10.0-0}=1.5 N/m

Therefore when the spring has a elongation of x=3.0 m, its potential energy is

E=\frac{1}{2}(1.5)(3.0)^2=6.8 J

The wave length of violet light rounded to the nearest nanometer is a __ nm
nataly862011 [7]
Wavelength= speed / frequency 

so.....3× 10^8 / 7.26×10^14
= .413× 10^(-6)

in scientific notation= 4.13×10^(-7) 

in nanometer = 413 nm

Refractive index of water is 1.3. calculate the speed of light in water.​
wolverine [178]

Answer:

The speed of light is faster in water. The Refractive index of water is 1.3 and the refractive index of glass is 1.5. From the equation n = c/v, we know that the refractive index of a medium is inversely proportional to the velocity of light in that medium. Hence, light travels faster in water.
