I can think of two solutions to this problem...

1) There is a wall in front of the girl ( at a distance of 5 feet from where she is standing). She kicks the ball in the direction of the wall. The ball hits the wall and rebounds back to the girl, thus travelling a distance of 10 feet.

2) She kicks the soccer ball vertically 5 feet high in the air. The ball comes back to her after travelling a total distance of 10 feet ( 5 feet up + 5 feet down).

An 80 N force causes a spring to compress 0.15 m. What is the spring constant? What is the potential energy of the spring?
Anni [7]
Force = -kx
80N=0.15m * -k
K=-80/0.15=533.333. Spring constant
Energy=1/2kx^2
1/2*(-80/0.15)*80^2=Energy

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Power is 1061.67W

Explanation:

Power=force×distance/time

Power=65×9.8×15/9 assuming gravity=9.8m/s²

Power=3185/3=1061.67W

Is it possible for an object that has a constant negative acceleration to change the direction in which it is moving? Explain wh
lozanna [386]
Yes! I think there are two ways you could go with this answer: 1) Acceleration is the change in velocity over time, it can be negative or positive. If you have an object that is already moving forwards in a straight line and give it a constant negative acceleration, it will slow down and then start going in reverse. 2)Velocity is a vector, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. In the example above, the acceleration is due to a change in magnitude, or speed (from +ve to -ve) but not a change in direction. Something that has constant speed but is changing direction is also accelerating (like something that is orbiting). You could use the earth as an example, which is constantly accelerating due to moving in a circle around the sun. At any time in the year you can say that in half a year's time the earth's direction will be reversed.

Why is atmospheric pressure greater at low elevations and less at higher elevations?
ss7ja [257]
Earth's gravity pulls air as close to the surface as possible. As altitude increases, the amount of gas molecules in the air decreases—the air becomes less dense than air nearer to sea level.
