How can potential energy be increased and decreased?

A mass resting on a horizontal, frictionless surface is attached to one end of a spring; the other end is fixed to a wall. It ta

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

(a) 185 N/m

(b) 3.083 kg

Explanation:

(a)

Using,

E = 1/2ke²....................... Equation 1

Where E = work done to compress the spring, k = spring constant of the spring, e = compression of the spring.

make k the subject of the equation

k = 2E/e²............... Equation 2

Given: E = 3.7 J, e = 0.20 m

Substitute into equation 2

k = 2(3.7)/0.2²

k = 185 N/m.

(b)

Using,

F = ma.............. Equation 2

Where F = force applied to the spring, m = mass attached to the spring, a = acceleration of the spring.

But from hook's law,

F = ke................. Equation 3

substitute equation 3 into equation 2

ke = ma

make m the subject of the equation

m = ke/a................ Equation 4

Given: k = 185 N/m, e = 0.2 m, a = 12 m/s²

Substitute into equation 4

m = 185(0.2)/12

m = 3.083 kg

Imagine that there is a small rocky body caught by Earth’s gravity. Draw a comic-strip cartoon

vladimir1956 [14]

To create this comic strip you can use a narration describing each step and illustrate each one with one image or drawing.

Creating a comic strip involves using images and short texts to explain a specific idea or phenomenon. In the case of the process for a meteor to enter Earth you can use the following ideas.

A meteoroid approaches the Earth at high speed and draw a meteor traveling near to different planets and approaching Earth.
What is that? and draw the Earth wondering who or what is approaching.
The meteoroid enters the atmosphere of the Earth and becomes a meteor and draw the rocky body burning
The rocky body crashes with the surface becoming a meteorite and draw the zone where the meteorite crashed.

<h3>What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?</h3>

Newton's second law provides a precise explanation of the modifications that a force can make to a body's motion. According to this, a body's momentum changes at a rate that is equal to the force acting on it over time in both magnitude and direction. A body's momentum is equal to the sum of its mass and velocity. Similar to velocity, momentum has both a magnitude and a direction, making it a vector quantity.

acceleration - rate of change of velocity with time, both in terms of speed and direction. A point or object going straight forward is accelerated when it accelerates or decelerates.

There are three types of accelerated motions :

uniform acceleration,
non-uniform acceleration
average acceleration.

express all the units in their most basic form.

kg, newton = kg*m/s², acceleration =m/s²

$\frac{ 30000 kg*m/s^{2} }{ 2000 kg} = 15m/s^{2}$
