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.

What are some of the forces affecting rock climbers?​
alexdok [17]

Answer:

Gravitational force

Explanation:

Gravitational force is obviously one of the biggest obstacles in climbing. You are essentially going against this very strong force to pull your body mass up the beautiful terrain. Gravity is defined as the force of attraction between all masses in the universe, gravity is what allows the sport of climbing.

An ice skater has a moment of inertia of 5.0 kg · m2when her arms are outstretched, and at this time she is spinning at 3.0 rev/
KatRina [158]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Initial Moment of Inertia I_1=5 kg-m^2

initial Spin N_1=3 rev/s

\omega _1=2\pi N_1=2\pi 3=6\pi rad/s

Final Moment Moment of Inertia I_2=2 kg-m^2

Conserving Angular momentum

L_1=L_2

I_1\omega _1=I_2\omega _2

5\times 6\pi=2\times \omega _2

\omega _2=15\pi rad/s

N_2=\frac{\omega _2}{2\pi }

N_2=\frac{15\pi }{2\pi}=7.5 rev/s
