Answer:

3.0 x10^-3 J

Explanation:

The potential energy of a spring is given by PE = (0.5)k*x^2

Where

K: Spring Constant = 60 N/m

x: displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position = 1cm = 0.01m

Then PE = 0.5(60)(.01)^2 = 0.003J = 3.0 x10^-3 J

Answer:

 The potential Energy stored in the spring = 0.003 J

Explanation:

Potential Energy: This is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position. The ability to stretched or compressed an elastic material to do work is called the elastic potential energy. The unit of elastic potential energy is Joules (J).

Elastic potential energy can be represented mathematically as

W = 1/2ke² ............................... Equation 1

Where W = Elastic potential Energy, k = force constant of the spring. e = extension.

Given: k = 60 N/m, e = 1.0 cm = (1/100) m = 0.01 m.

Substituting these values into equation 1,

W = 1/2(60)(0.01)²

W = 30×0.0001

W = 0.003 J.

Thus potential Energy stored in the spring = 0.003 J

Consider the following three objects, each of the same mass and radius: (1) a solid sphere (2) a solid disk (3) a hoop All three

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is

a) 1, 2, 3

Explanation:

In rolling down an inclined plane, the potential energy is Transferred to both linear and rotational kinetic energy thus

PE = KE or mgh = 1/2×m×v² + 1/2×I×ω²

The transformation equation fom potential to kinetic energy is =

m×g×h = $\frac{1}{2} mv^{2} + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{2}{5} mr^{2} )(\frac{v}{r}) ^{2}$

$v_{Sphere}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{10}{7} gh}$

$v_{Hoop}$ = $\sqrt{gh}$

$v_{Disc}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{4}{3} gh}$

Therefore the order is with increasing rotational kinetic energy hence

the first is the sphere 1 followed by the disc 2 then the hoop 3

the correct order is a, 1, 2, 3

Why is it important foe scientists to know how many valence electrons a given element has

Vikentia [17]

Because the number of valence electrons of an element determines the properties and in particular the reactivity of that element.

In fact, elements of the first group (i.e. only one valence electron) have high reactivity, because they can easily give away their valence electron to atoms of other elements forming bonds. On the contrary, elements of the 8th group (noble gases) have their outermost shell completely filled with electrons, so they do not have valence electrons, and they have little or no reactivity at all.

Se lanza verticalmente una esfera con una rapidez de 30m/se. Determinar la rapidez de la esfera a una altura de 40m (g=10m/s2)

sergeinik [125]

$v^2-{v_0}^2=2a(x-x_0)$

dónde $v$ es la velocidad de la esfera, $v_0$ es suya velocidad inicial, $a=-g$ la aceleración debida a la gravedad, $x$ la posición, y $x_0$ la posición inicial. Tomamos $x_0=0\,\mathrm m$ a referirse a la posición de la esfera en el momento que la esfera fue lanzada.

Entonces

$v^2-\left(30\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)^2=2\left(-10\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(40\,\mathrm m)$

$\implies v^2=100\,\dfrac{\mathrm m^2}{\mathrm s^2}\implies v=\pm10\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}$

Esto nos dice que la esfera alcanza una altura de 40 m en dos momentos - una vez hacia arriba y una vez hacia abajo. Sin embargo, independientemente del signo de la velocidad, sabemos que suya magnitud es 10 m/s, y así tenemos una rapidez de 10 m/s también en ambos momentos.
