Answer:

2.31J

Explanation:

the energy for a spring system is given by:

E=\frac{1}{2} kx^2

where k is the spring constant: k=15.3N/cm=1530N/m and x is the distance stretched from the equilibrium position.

In the first case x=1.81cm=0.0181m

so the energy to stretch the spring 1.81cm is:

K_{1}=\frac{1}{2} (1530N/m)(0.0181m)^2=0.25J

and for the second case,  the energy to stretch the spring 5.79cm:

x=5.79cm=0.0579m

K_{1}=\frac{1}{2} (1530N/m)(0.0579m)^2=2.56J

so to answer a) we must find the difference between these energies:

2.56J-0.25J=2.31J

When viewed in yellow light, an object that reflects all the colors of light will appear_____.
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Yellow.

Explanation:

An object that reflects all the incidents colors of light will surely reflect off the color yellow, and when the reflected ray hits our eyes, we will perceive the object as yellow. The object that reflects off all colors appears to us as white. So if you want to make sure, then just shine yellow light on a white fabric and see what happens!

What you will observe of course is a yellow fabric. Similarly, if you shine red light onto the fabric, it will appear red, and so on for all colors.

Suppose that the height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning.
iragen [17]

Answer:

y = 27 cm

Explanation:

given,

After 11 hours of burning height of candle is 27.9 cm

After 30 hours of burning height of candle is 26 cm

height after 20 hour = ?

the candle height decreases linearly

using linear equation

y = m x+ c

27.9 = m (11 ) + C.......(1)

26 = m (30) + C..............(2)

on solving equation (1) and (2)

1.9 = -19 m

m = -0.1

from equation 2

26 = -3 + C

C = 29

y = m x + 29

at 20 hour

y = -0.1× 20 + 29

y = 27

height of candle after 20 hours is 27 cm.

You, a 70 kg person, leap from a 10 m tall building and land feet first on a trampoline. The center of the trampoline where you
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

1373.4 N/m

Explanation:

Hooke's law states that the extension of a spring and force are related by the expression, F=kx where k is spring constant, x is extension of spring and F is the applied force. Making k the subject of the formula then

k=\frac {F}{x}

Also, F=gm hence the above formula is modified as

k=\frac {gm}{x}

Taking g as 9.81 m/s2 , x as 0.5 m and m as 70 kg then

k=\frac {9.81\times 70 kg}{0.5m}=1373.4 N/m
