A spring with a mass attached is initially at rest. It is then stretched 2 cm by a physics student. Another physics student with

a similar mass and spring system then stretches their spring to 4 cm. Compare and contrast the potential energies of the springs after they are stretched by the students. *

The student who displaced the spring by 2 cm has less potential energy than the student who displaced the spring by 4 cm, this is because potential energy (elastic) is directly proportionate to extension (displaced amount), so as the amount of displacement of the spring is higher, then the potential energy of the springs is higher and vice versa.

HEEEEELP!!!!!! :((( help me with this exercise.
kirill [66]

Answer:

  • See the graph attached with the vectors.

Explanation:

The exercise is to draw the corresponding vectors:

     2\vec a\\\\3\vec c\\\\3\vec d\\\\3\vec f\\\\2\vec b

Every one is the multiplication of a scalar by a vector.

The result of multiplying a scalar by a vector is a vector with the same direction of the original vector enlarged in a factor equal to the scalar magntitude.

Thus, in a graph the resulting vector is represented with a parallel arrow and pointing in the same direction as the original vector but with a length equal to the original length multiplied by the magnitude of the scalar.

For instance, the vector 2\vec a is represented with an arrow in the same direction of \vec a and with twice its length.

The figure attached contains the five requested vectors using the procedure explained above.

What does energy and Newton's Laws (all three) have to do with roller coasters?
Kipish [7]

Answer:

Potential Energy is the energy that is waiting to be released like at the top of the roller coaster, Kinetic energy is the energy that is moving the rollercoaster downhill fast.

Three Laws:

The rollercoaster will rest at the top, and then the gears will make it move downhill, and make it stop.

The gears make the rollercoaster move, and in reaction, it pushes back on the gears.

Prove that..<br>please help<br>​

\large{ \boxed{ \bf{ \color{red}{Universal \: law \: of \: gravitation}}}}

Every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force which is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The forces along the line joining the centre of the two objects.

❍ Let us consider two masses m1 and m2 line at a separation distance d. Let the force of attraction between the two objects be F.

According to universal law of gravitation,

\large{ \longrightarrow{ \rm{F \propto m_1 m_2}}}

Also,

\large{ \longrightarrow{ \rm{ F \propto  \dfrac{1}{ {d}^{2} } }}}

Combining both, We will get

\large{ \longrightarrow{ \rm{F  \propto  \dfrac{ m_1 m_2}{ {d}^{2}}}}}

Or, We can write it as,

\large{ \longrightarrow{ \rm{F  \propto  \:  G \dfrac{ m_1 m_2}{ {d}^{2} }}}}

Where, G is the constant of proportionality and it is called 'Universal Gravitational constant'.

☯️ Hence, derived !!
