Answer:

(a) 46.94 J.

(b)  55.95 m/s

Explanation:

(a)

Potential Energy: This is the energy of a body, due to its position. The S.I unit of potential energy is Joules (J).

The formula of potential energy in a stretched spring is

Ep = 1/2ke² .......................... Equation 1

Where Ep = potential energy of the spring, k = Force constant of the spring, e = extension or compression.

Given: k = 425 N/m, e = 0.47 m.

Substitute into equation 1

Ep = 1/2(425×0.47²)

Ep = 46.94 J.

(b)

at the instant When the arrow leaves the bow, the potential energy of the arrow is converted kinetic energy of the bow.

I.e,

Ep = 1/2mv² ............. Equation 2

Where m = mass of the arrow, v = velocity of the arrow.

make v the subject of the equation

v = √(2Ep/m)............. Equation 3

Given: Ep = 46.94 J, m = 0.03 Kg.

Substitute into equation 3

v = √(2×46.96/0.03)

v = √(93.92/0.03)

v = √(3130.67)

v = 55.95 m/s

The force that generates the heat and light produced by the sun and other stars is 1. the electromagnetic force. 2. the weak for
Jet001 [13]

Answer: Gravitational force

Explanation:

The sun is known as a star in the centre of the solar system. It is the most important source of energy for life on earth. It is also known as a yellow dwarf star with gravity that holds the solar system together in its orbit. Our seasons, ocean current, weather, climate and radiation belts are motivated by the interaction between the sun and earth. The sun is made up of 91% hydrogen and 8.1% helium by atoms, 70.6%hydrogen and 27.4% helium by mass.

The sun and other stars masses are held by Gravitational force attraction that accounts for the great heat and light they generate.

Gravitational force is the force by which planets or other body draws objects toward its center. The gravitational force of the sun keep the earth in orbit around which enables the great heat and light generated by the sun. This also applies to other stars.

A protostar's radius decreases by a factor of 100 and its surface temperature increases by a factor of two before it becomes a m
Sliva [168]

Answer:

L_f = K (\frac{r}{100})^2 * (2T)^4

L_f = K \frac{r^2}{10000} * 16 T^4

L_f = \frac{16}{10000} k r^2 T^4 = \frac{1}{625} k r^2 T^4

L_f = \frac{1}{625} L_i

So then we see that the final luminosity decrease by a factor of 625 so then the correct answer for this case would be:

B. Decreases by a factor of 625

Explanation:

For this case we can use the formula of luminosity in terms of the radius and the temperature given by:

L_i = K r^2 T^4

Where L_i = initial luminosity, r= radius and T = temperature.

We know that we decrease the radius by a factor of 100 and the temperature increases by a factor of 2 so then the new luminosity would be:

L_f = K (\frac{r}{100})^2 * (2T)^4

L_f = K \frac{r^2}{10000} * 16 T^4

L_f = \frac{16}{10000} k r^2 T^4 = \frac{1}{625} k r^2 T^4

L_f = \frac{1}{625} L_i

So then we see that the final luminosity decrease by a factor of 625 so then the correct answer for this case would be:

B. Decreases by a factor of 625

La tierra aplica una fuerza de atracción de 1000 N sobre un satélite de comunicaciones. La masa del satélite es más de un millón
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

La magnitud de la fuerza aplicada por el satélite sobre la Tierra es de 1000 N

Explanation:

De acuerdo con la tercera ley del movimiento de Newton, tenemos que para cada acción (fuerza), aplicada en el universo, existe una fuerza de reacción igual y opuesta

Por lo que un objeto A ejerce una cantidad de fuerza sobre otro objeto B, entonces la fuerza ejercida por el objeto B sobre A es igual en magnitud y opuesta en dirección a la fuerza que proviene del objeto A

Por lo tanto, dado que la Tierra ejerce una fuerza de 1000 N sobre el satélite, entonces la magnitud de la fuerza que el satélite también ejerce sobre la Tierra = 1000 N

What are conductors and insulators​
andrey2020 [161]
Conductors are materials that permit electrons to flow freely from particle to particle. ... Conductors allow for charge transfer through the free movement of electrons. In contrast to conductors, insulators are materials that impede the free flow of electrons from atom to atom and molecule to molecule.
