Answer:

Explanation:

1. Mechanical waves require material medium for their propagation while electromagnetic waves do not require material medium for their propagation.

2. Mechanical waves can either be transverse or longitudinal while electromagnetic waves are transverse.(Transverse waves are waves in which the vibration of the particules of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of the motion of wave. E.g water waves, waves of a plucked string and all electromagnetic waves RIVUXG . Longitudinal waves are waves whose vibration are parallel to the direction of the motion of the medium e.g waves in strings, sound waves.e.t.c)

Options: A.) 10 N B.) 15 N C.) 25 N D.) 35N

Lady_Fox [76]

Given:

F_gravity = 10 N

F_tension = 25 N

Let's find the net centripetal force exterted on the ball.

Apply the formula:

$\sum ^{}_{}F_{\text{net}}=F_1+F_2=F_{centripetal}$

From the given figure, the force acting towards the circular path will be positive, while the force which points directly away from the center is negative.

Hence, the tensional force is positive while the gravitational force is negative.

Thus, we have:

$F_{\text{net}}=F_{\text{centripetal}}=F_{tension}-F_{gravity}=25N-10N=15N$

Therefore, the net centripetal force exterted on the ball is 15 N.

ANSWER:

15 N

A spring with spring constant of 34 N/m is stretched 0.12 m from its equilibrium position. How much work must be done to stretch

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:0.253Joules

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the force required to stretch the string. According to Hooke's law, the force applied to an elastic material or string is directly proportional to its extension.

F = ke where;

F is the force

k is spring constant = 34N/m

e is the extension = 0.12m

F = 34× 0.12 = 4.08N

To get work done,

Work is said to be done if the force applied to an object cause the body to move a distance from its initial position.

Work done = Force × Distance

Since F = 4.08m, distance = 0.062m

Work done = 4.08 × 0.062

Work done = 0.253Joules

Therefore, work done to stretch the string to an additional 0.062 m distance is 0.253Joules
