plied to the block which changes its position from xi=5.89 cm to xf=−15.4 cm , each distance measured relative to the equilibrium position of the block. While the block is being moved, find
(a) the work done by the spring and
(b) the work done by the applied force.

Answer:

-2.63 Joules

2.63 Joules

Explanation:

x_i = Initial compression = 5.89 cm

x_f = Final compression = -15.4 cm

k = Spring constant = 260 Nm

Work done by a spring is given by

W=\frac{1}{2}k(x_i^2-x_f^2)\\\Rightarrow W=\frac{1}{2}260\times (0.0589^2-0.154^2)\\\Rightarrow W=-2.63\ J

Work done by the spring is -2.63 Joules.

Change in kinetic energy is given by

\Delta K=W_a+W_s

Here, it is assumed that change in kinetic energy is zero as velocity and amlitude are not mentioned.

So,

0=W_a+W_s\\\Rightarrow W_a=-W_s\\\Rightarrow W_a=--2.63\\\Rightarrow W_a=2.63\ J

The work done by the applied force is 2.63 Joules.

What is an unstable nucleus emits
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Unstable nucleus tends to emit small particles of matter(alpha or beta particles) with an attendant emission of electromagnetic radiation and some amount of energy.

For every atomic nucleus, there is a specific neutron/proton ratio which ensures stability of the nucleus.

Any nucleus with a neutron/proton combination different from its stability ratio (i.e either too many neutrons or too many protons) will be unstable and split.

The will emit some small particles and radiations until they become stable.

a ball dropped from a height of 10 meters will bounce more times before coming to rest than a ball dropped from a height of 5 me
Contact [7]

Answer:

plz mark brainliest again lol :)

Explanation:

When you drop a ball from a greater height, it has more kinetic energy just before it hits the floor and stores more energy during the bounce—it dents farther as it comes to a stop.
