Answer:

c) proportional to the square of the amount the spring that is stretched from its equilibrium length

Explanation:

according to Hooke's law, the elastic potential energy of a spring is:

U_e=\frac{1}{2}*k*x^2

where:

K is the spring constant

x is the distance that the spring's is compressed.

as you can notice the distance is squared, so the energy is proportional to the square of the compressed distance.

A 5 kg bowling ball with a velocity of +10 m/s collides with a stationary 2 kg bowling pin. If the ball's final velocity is +8 m
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

<h2>The pin's final velocity is 5m/s</h2>

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

mass of ball m1=5kg

initial velocity of ball u1=10m/s

mass of pin m2=2kg

initial velocity of pin u2= 0m/s

final velocity of ball v2=8m/s

final velocity of pin v2=?

Step two:

The expression for elastic collision is given as

m1u1+m2u2=m1v1+m2v2

substituting we have

5*10+2*0=5*8+2*v2

50+0=40+2v2

50-40=2v2

10=2v2

divide both sides by 2

v2=10/2

v2=5m/s

The pin's final velocity is 5m/s

Two charged objects, A and B, are exerting an electric force on each other. What will happen if the charge on A is increased?
ozzi

Answer: The forces acting on both of them will increase in magnitude.

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's law, the electrostatic force between two bodies is proportional to the product of their two charges. If the charge on A is increased this product increases in size (it must have been non-zero to begin with, since there was a force between them at first). Thus, the force between them rises.
