A spring is stretched from x=0 to x=d, where x=0 is the equilibrium position of the spring. It is then compressed from x=0 to x=

−d. What can be said about the energy required to stretch or compress the spring? View Available Hint(s) A spring is stretched from to , where is the equilibrium position of the spring. It is then compressed from to . What can be said about the energy required to stretch or compress the spring? More energy is required to stretch the spring than to compress it. The same amount of energy is required to either stretch or compress the spring. Less energy is required to stretch the spring than to compress it.

Answer:

The same amount of energy is required to either stretch or compress the spring.

Explanation:

The amount of energy required to stretch or compress a spring is equal to the elastic potential energy stored by the spring:

U=\frac{1}{2}k (\Delta x)^2

where

k is the spring constant

\Delta x is the stretch/compression of the spring

In the first case, the spring is stretched from x=0 to x=d, so

\Delta x = d-0=d

and the amount of energy required is

U=\frac{1}{2}k d^2

In the second case, the spring is compressed from x=0 to x=-d, so

\Delta x = -d -0 = -d

and the amount of energy required is

U=\frac{1}{2}k (-d)^2= \frac{1}{2}kd^2

so we see that the amount of energy required is the same.

Which of the following would most likely be considered nonpoint source pollution
fredd [130]
The best answer is b) increased turbidity from erosion.

Nonpoint source pollution generally happens as a result of many systems interacting, and is not directly attributed to one event or pollutant. Generally, natural environmental systems participate in pollution of this kind, regardless of whether or not human activity was a factor. Examples include water runoff, or erosion. 

The other pollutants listed have a direct cause and direct effect, the animal waste goes directly from the animals to the ground they live on, the car shop directly sumps the oil on the ground, and the oil tank leaks directly into the earth. Erosion causing turbidity is a less direct form of pollution, and is due to the synthesis of several natural phenomena<span />

In a building with 10.000 cubic feet where the air changes every two hours, what the rate of air change? A. 167.7 cfm B. 83.3 cf
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Flow rate of air is given as 83.33 cubic feet per minute

Explanation:

As we know that total volume of the air flow is given as

V = 10,000 cubic feet

also we know that total time is

t = 2 hours = 120 min

now we have flow rate given as

Q = \frac{V}{t}

Q = \frac{10000}{120}

Q = 83.3 cf/m

You are standing at the top of a cliff that has a stairstep configuration. There is a vertical drop of 6 m at your feet, then a
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

4.5 m/s

Explanation:

The rock must barely clear the shelf below, this means that the horizontal distance covered must be

d_x = 5 m

while the vertical distance covered must be

d_y = 6 m

The rock is thrown horizontally with velocity v_x, so we can rewrite the horizontal distance as

d_x = v_x t

where t is the time of flight. Re-arranging the equation,

t=\frac{d_x}{v_x} (1)

The vertical distance covered instead is

d_y = \frac{1}{2}gt^2

where we omit the term ut since the initial vertical velocity is zero. From this equation,

t=\sqrt{\frac{2d_y}{g}} (2)

Equating (1) and (2), we can solve the equation to find v_x:

\frac{d_x}{v_x}=\sqrt{\frac{2d_y}{g}}\\\frac{d_x^2}{v_x^2}=\frac{2d_y}{g}\\v_x = d_x \sqrt{\frac{g}{2d_y}}=5\sqrt{\frac{9.8}{2(6)}}=4.5 m/s

If the resulting trajectory of the charged particle is a circle,what is , the angular frequency of the circular motion?Express i
Maru [420]

Answer:

ω = B₀q/m

Explanation:

The centripetal force on the charge equal the magnetic force on the charge. (Since the trajectory is a circle). So, mrω² = B₀qv.

v = rω The speed of the charge and r = radius of path

mrω² = B₀qrω

ω = B₀q/m

The angular frequency ω = B₀q/m
