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:

<em> The potential Energy stored in the spring = 0.003 J</em>

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.

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

<em>Substituting these values into equation 1,</em>

<em>W = 1/2(60)(0.01)²</em>

<em>W = 30×0.0001</em>

<em>W = 0.003 J.</em>

<em>T</em><em>hus potential Energy stored in the spring = 0.003 J</em>

Which type of electromagnetic radiation is responsible for the colors of<br> objects?
Svetllana [295]

Visible light or electromagnetic radiation within 400nm to 700nm is responsible for colour of the spectrum.

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum contains radiations of varying wavelength. The radiations with the lowest energy are characterised by the longest wavelength.

Within this spectrum lies the visible light which enables us to see a different colour. The radiations within the range 400nm to 700nm are included in the visible spectrum.

While violet lies at the 400nm spectrum part red colour lies at 700nm part. As the wavelength of the radiation transverses between 400-700 nm, the colour of the object changes accordingly.

Can you help me??????????????????????????)?
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Velocity is a change in displacement over change in time and uses the units m/s.

Both are rates of change and can be positive or negative.

Acceleration is a change in velocity over change in time and uses the units m/s².

Explanation:

Velocity is the change in displacement over change in time, this makes it a rate of change. It can be positive or negative because it is a vector quantity. It uses the units m/s because that is a displacement unit over a time unit.

Acceleration is the change in velocity over change in time, this makes it a rate of change. It can be positive or negative because it is also a vector quantity. It uses the units m/s² (m/s/s) because that is a velocity unit over a time unit.
