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.

Explain: Is it possible to convert milliliters to liters? How about milliliters to grams?
Advocard [28]

Answer:

yes, it is possible

Explanation:

To convert milliliters to liters, we divide by 1000.

To convert milliliters to grams, we multiply the volume (in ml) by the density (in g).

A DC current of 60 mA can cause paralysis of the body's respiratory muscles and hence interfere with breathing, but only 15 mA (
Liula [17]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Ohm's Law to find the voltage in the case of direct current. While for the Alternate current we use the concept of RMS voltage.

PART A) In the case of DC we have to,

V=IR

Where,

I = Current

R = Resistance

Where the current is 60mA y the resistance is 1000\Omega , then the potential would be

V=(60mA)(1100\Omega)

V = 66V

In the case of DC we have that the current and the RMS voltage is,

I_{rms} = 15 mA

R = 1100 \Omega

V_{rms} = 16.5 V

The potential in AC then is,

V_o = \sqrt{2}V_{rms}

V_o = \sqrt{2}(16.5)

V_o = 23.3345 V
