An object that is 0.5 m above the ground has the same amount of potential energy as a spring that is stretched 0.5 m. Each dista

nce is then doubled. How will the potential energies of the object and the spring compare after the distances are doubled? The gravitational potential energy of the object will be two times greater than the elastic potential energy of the spring. The elastic potential energy of the spring will be four times greater than the gravitational potential energy of the object. The elastic potential energy of the spring will be two times greater than the gravitational potential energy of the object. The potential energies will remain equal to one another.

Answer:

The elastic potential energy of the spring will be two times greater than the gravitational potential energy of the object.

Explanation:

Let U₁ = mgx be the gravitational potential energy of the object and U₂ = 1/2kx² the elastic potential energy of the spring.

Since U₁ = U₂ = U at x = x₀ = 0.5 m.

if x = 2x₀,

The gravitational potential energy is U₃ = mg(2x₀)

= 2mgx₀

= 2U

The elastic potential energy of the spring is U₄ = 1/2k(2x₀)²

= 1/2k × 4x₀²

= 4(1/2kx₀²)

= 4U

Now, U₄/U₃ = 4U/2U = 2

U₄ = 2U₃

So, the elastic potential energy of the spring will be two times greater than the gravitational potential energy of the object.

Asap. I need an explanaton to how this works as well
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

B: Electrical - Heat

C: Electrical - kinetic

Explanation:

When the hair dryer is plugged to electric supply, electrical energy is converted into heat. When this electricity is circulated through a resistor, heat is now created in the form of losses which make the air around the resistors to be heated.

After that process, this electricity turns into kinetic energy because it forms Electric energy which moves the fan in order to create a flow with the air that's heated.

8. How many calories of heat energy (Q) would be released as a 2,500 g iron (Fe) frying pan at 190˚C cools to 25˚C?
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Q=197505J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass m=2500g=2.5kg

Initial heat of pan i_h=190 \tetxtdegree

Final heat of pan f_h=25˚C \tetxtdegree

 

Generally the equation for Heat energy released is mathematically given by

 Q=mC \triangle T\\\\Q=2.5*462 *(190-26)\\\\Q=1155 *(190-26)\\\\Q=1155 *(171)\\

 Q=197505J

A displacement vector is 34.0 m in length and is directed 60.0° east of north. What are the components of this vector? Northward
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

A)  29.4 m 17.0 m; B) 2 m

Explanation:

If a vector is 34.0 m in length and is directed 60.0° east of north (which means 30.0° over the horizontal), then its coordinates will be:

Horizontal: (34.0 m)cos(30.0°)=29.4 m

Vertical: (34.0 m)sin(30.0°)=17 m

If one person walks 8.0 meters in a straight line and then walks 5.0 meters in another straight line, then the minimum displacement would be to go back over his tracks, displacing himself 8m-5m=3m, while the maximum displacement would be going straight ahead, displacing himself 8m+5m=13m. Any answer outside this interval is impossible (2m).

a sealed bottle of water was taken from a refrigerator and left in a warm kitchen. explain in the terms of its molecules what ha
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The sealed bottle serves as an open system for the water molecules, thus heat energy can be exchanged with its surroundings. When the bottle is placed in a warm environment, there would be a gradual increase in the thermal energy of the molecules of water due to a change in the temperature of its surroundings.

Thus, the molecules of water closer to the boundary of the bottle absorbs heat, becomes lighter and changes position. This gradual process continues until all molecules attains an average temperature which equals that of the surroundings of the bottle.

Therefore, both the thermal energy and temperature of the water increases.
