Answer:
Δx = 1.2 m
Explanation:
The CHANGE of spring length) (Δx) can be found using PS = ½kΔx²
Δx = √(2PS/k) = √(2(450)/650) = 1.17669... ≈ 1.2 m
The actual length of the spring is unknown as it varies with material type, construction method, extension or compression, and other variables we have no clue about.
Answer: A.AB
Explanation:
This Velocity vs Time graph shows the acceleration of a body or object, since acceleration is the variation of velocity in time.
As we can see in the attached image, the graph can be divided in four segments:
OA: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a uniform rate. In addition we can see it has a positive slope, hence we are dealing with a positive uniform acceleration.
AB: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a nonuniform rate, since in this part it is not possible to calculate the slope. However if this were uniform, the slope woul be positive. This means the <u>acceleration is nonuniform and positive.</u>
BC: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a nonuniform rate, since in this part it is not possible to calculate the slope. However if this were uniform, the slope woul be negative. This means the acceleration is nonuniform and negative.
CD: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a uniform rate. In addition we can see it has a negative slope, hence we are dealing with a negative uniform acceleration.
From all these segments, the only one that fulfils the nonuniform positive acceleration condition is option A:
Segment AB
Mechanical energy is the answer
The best answer is D.
Stress is a force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume. Because stress is a force, it adds energy to the rock, which is stored in the rock until either the rock breaks or changes shape.
There are three kinds of stress, namely shearing, tension and compression.
Shearing- force that pushes a mass of rock in two opposite directions and can cause rock to break and slip apart or change shape.
Tension - force that pulls on the crust, stretching rock so that it becomes thinner in the middle.
Compression - force that squeezes rock until it folds or breaks
