Answer:
<em> The distance required = 16.97 cm</em>
Explanation:
Hook's Law
From Hook's law, the potential energy stored in a stretched spring
E = 1/2ke² ......................... Equation 1
making e the subject of the equation,
e = √(2E/k)........................ Equation 2
Where E = potential Energy of the stretched spring, k = elastic constant of the spring, e = extension.
Given: k = 450 N/m, e = 12 cm = 0.12 m.
E = 1/2(450)(0.12)²
E = 225(0.12)²
E = 3.24 J.
When the potential energy is doubled,
I.e E = 2×3.24
E = 6.48 J.
Substituting into equation 2,
e = √(2×6.48/450)
e = √0.0288
e = 0.1697 m
<em>e = 16.97 cm</em>
<em>Thus the distance required = 16.97 cm</em>
Answer:
For example, when you jump, your legs apply a force to the ground, and the ground applies and equal and opposite reaction force that propels you into the air. Engineers apply Newton's third law when designing rockets and other projectile devices.
Explanation:
Answer:
Surface tension is the tendency of liquid surfaces to shrink into the minimum surface area possible.
Surface tension is caused by effects of intermolecular forces at liquid interface.
Surface tension increases as intermolecular forces increases.
Explanation:
- Surface tension is the tendency of liquid surfaces to shrink into the minimum surface area possible. It can also be seen as the energy required to increase the surface of a liquid by a unit amount.
- Surface tension is caused by the mediating effects of intermolecular forces at the liquid interfaces. Example in water, surface tension is caused by the mediating effect of the force between hydrogen and oxygen molecules. Liquids tends to reduce their surface area because of inward attarction of the liquid molecules.
- Surface tension increases as intermolecular forces increases. Also, surface tension decreases as intermolecular forces decreases.
