Answer:

a)= 29.4J

b)F = 588 N

c)= 60 Kg

Explanation:

Force constant of the spring (k) = 5880 N/m

Change in length of the spring (x) = 25 - 15 = 10 cm 0.1m

This work done on the spring as it is stretched (or compressed) can be recovered. This is stored work that can be used to do work on something else by this spring. That means the stretched (or compressed) spring has energy -- potential energy. This is spring potential energy or elastic potential energy.

a) Work done in pulling the body W = 1/2kx²

= 1/2 (5880)(0.1)2

= 29.4J

b)From Hook's Law,

F = ke

Where F = applied force, k = spring constant, e = extension.

Given: k = 5880 N/m, e = 25-15 = 10 cm = 0.1 m.

Substitute into the formula above

F = 5880(0.1)

F = 588 N

c)By using the formula, F = -kx

Hence mg = kx

Thus m x 9.8 =5880 x0.1

Hence mass of the body

m= 5880 x0.1/9.8

= 60 Kg

How to solve it? Three capacitors with capacities of 600 pF, 300 pF, 200 pF are connected in series. The 60 V voltage is applied
adell [148]

Answer:

1. Voltage across 600 pF is 10 V.

2. Voltage across 300 pF is 20 V.

3. Voltage across 200 pF is 30 V.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the total capacitance of capacitor. This can be obtained as follow:

Capicitance 1 (C₁) = 600 pF

Capicitance 2 (C₂) = 300 pF

Capicitance 3 (C₃) = 200 pF

Total capacitance (Cₜ) =?

1/Cₜ = 1/C₁ + 1/C₂ + 1/C₃

1/Cₜ = 1/600 + 1/300 + 1/200

1/Cₜ = 1 + 2 + 3 / 600

1/Cₜ = 6/600

1/Cₜ = 1/100

Cₜ = 100 pF

Next, we shall convert 100 pF to Farad (F). This can be obtained as follow:

1 pF = 1×10¯¹² F

Therefore,

100 pF = 100 pF × 1×10¯¹² F / 1 pF

100 pF = 1×10¯¹⁰ F

Thus, 100 pF is equivalent to 1×10¯¹⁰ F.

Next, we shall determine the charge. This can be obtained as follow:

Voltage (V) = 60 V

Capicitance (C) = 1×10¯¹⁰ F

Charge (Q) =?

Q = CV

Q = 60 × 1×10¯¹⁰ F

Q = 6×10¯⁹ C

1. Determination of the voltage across 600 pF.

Capicitance 1 (C₁) = 600 pF = 6×10¯¹⁰ F

Charge (Q) = 6×10¯⁹ C

Voltage 1 (V₁) =?

Q = C₁V₁

6×10¯⁹ = 6×10¯¹⁰ × V₁

Divide both side by 6×10¯¹⁰

V₁ = 6×10¯⁹ / 6×10¯¹⁰

V₁ = 10 V

2. Determination of the voltage across 300 pF.

Capicitance 2 (C₂) = 300 pF = 3×10¯¹⁰ F

Charge (Q) = 6×10¯⁹ C

Voltage 2 (V₂) =?

Q = C₂V₂

6×10¯⁹ = 3×10¯¹⁰ × V₂

Divide both side by 3×10¯¹⁰

V₂ = 6×10¯⁹ / 3×10¯¹⁰

V₂ = 20 V

3. Determination of the voltage across 200 pF.

Capicitance 3 (C₃) = 200 pF = 2×10¯¹⁰ F

Charge (Q) = 6×10¯⁹ C

Voltage 3 (V₃) =?

Q = C₃V₃

6×10¯⁹ = 2×10¯¹⁰ × V₃

Divide both side by 2×10¯¹⁰

V₃ = 6×10¯⁹ / 2×10¯¹⁰

V₃ = 30 V

</span>

Kinetic energy is given as = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}

Now, m = 12 gms = 0.012 kg
 And, velocity = 35 kilometers/second = 35000 m/sec

Kinetic energy is given as = \frac{1}{2} 0.012 kg * 35000*35000 m/[tex] s^{2}
                        = 6 10^{-2}×1225 ×10^{6} m/s^{2} 
                        = 7350 kJ

Turning on a flashlight is what type of energy to what type of energy
MissTica
Turning on a flashlight uses a battery, right? Chemical energy is stored in that battery. If you use the battery, you're converting that chemical energy to an electrical energy.

In a flashlight then, the electrical energy becomes light energy and thermal energy in the bulb. Why light and thermal? The flashlight gives us light and then, gives out heat. This is why when we touch light bulbs, it feels hot.

I hope you find this answer the most helpful! :)
