There are three ways an object can accelerate: a change in velocity, a change in direction, or a change in both velocity and direction.

An object can only accelerate when the forces acting on it are unbalanced.  

When that happens ...

-- the object's speed increases, OR

-- its speed decreases, OR

-- the direction of its motion changes.

A horizontal spring required a force of 1.0 N to compress it 0.1 m. How much work is required to stretch the spring 0.4 m?
Crank

Answer:

<h2>0.5J</h2>

Explanation:

given data

Force applied F= 1N

extension e= 0.1m

let us find the spring constant first

applying

F=ke

k=F/e

k=1/0.1

k=10N/m

Step two:

Required is the work done

we know that the expression/formula for the work done by a spring is given as

Wd=1/2kx^2

x=0.4m

substitute

Wd= 1/2*10*0.4^2

Wd=0.5*10*0.16

Wd=0.5J
