<span>The potential energy that is associated with objects that can be stretched or compressed is Elastic Potential Energy. This energy is found in springs and rubber bands for example. Potential energy, in general terms is the energy of the objects due its position. This is the ability to perform work due to its position. An object attached to an elastic device (spring for example) and stretched (or compressed) from its equilibrium position will be pulled or pushed gaining the ability fo perform work. This is the elastic potential energy. </span>

When she starts out, he is (40x2.5)= 100 miles ahead of her.

She gains (65-40)= 25 miles on him every hour.

It takes her (100/25)= 4 hours to catch up to him.

A wire carries a steady current of 2.20
alina1380 [7]
By definition we know that the force is the vector product of the vector of the current by the length with the magnetic field vector. The current in this case goes in a positive "Y" direction. If we assume that the magnetic field goes in the positive "K" direction, then the result will be in the positive "X" direction. Attached solution.

Argelia has a stack of schoolbooks sitting in the backseat of her car. When Argelia makes a sharp right turn, the books slide to
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

The books slide to the left due to inertia, and then they come to a rest due to the force applied by the car door.

Explanation:

The entire motion of the books can be explained by using the first two laws of Newton:

- 1st Newton's law (also called Law of Inertia): an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with constant velocity if no unbalanced forces act on it

- 2nd Newton's law: when an object is acted upon unbalanced forces, an acceleration is induced in the motion of the object, according to the equation

F=ma

where F is the net force on the object, m is its mass and a is its acceleration.

Coming back to our problem:

- At the beginning, Argelia makes a sharp turn right. Due to the law of inertia, the books (which are not fixed to the car) continue their motion straight as it was before the curve: so, since the car is moving right, they appear to go the left of the car.

- When the books hit the car door, they stop moving due to the 2nd Newton's law: in fact, the car door applies an unbalanced force against the books, and as a result the books have a negative acceleration (=deceleration), so they slow down and eventually they stop.
