Answer:

Potential energy = 1.6 J

Work done = -1.6 J

Explanation:

Potential Energy in the spring at this extension?

The potential energy U in the spring is U = 1/2kx² where k = spring constant = F/x where F = force = 20 N and x = extension = 0.16 m. So k = 20 N/0.16 m = 125 N/m

U = 1/2kx²

= 1/2 × 125 N/m × (0.16 m)²

= 1.6 J

What is the work done to extend the spring. 16 meters

Work done W = U₁ - U₂ where U₁ = initial potential energy = 0 and U₂ = final potential energy = 1.6 J

W = 0 - 1.6 J

   = -1.6 J

How does The centripetal fotce change if the car has less Mass?​
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

The centripetal force acting on the car is proportional to the mass of the car.

Explanation:

Let,

The mass of the car be 'm'

The velocity of the car moving in the curved path be 'v'

The radius of the curved path be 'r'

According to physics, a body moving ion circular path experience a force directed along the radius of the path. This force is called centripetal force.

The formula for centripetal force is,

                                   <em>F = mv²/r</em>

Where,

                                      a = v²/r

So, if the mass of the car changes, the centripetal force also changes proportionally according to the above equation.

The primary reason professional observatories are built on the highest mountaintops is to (a) get away from city lights; (b) be
EastWind [94]

Answer:

(c) reduce atmospheric blurring

Explanation:

Observatories are the locations used to study the celestial events, climate, astronomy etc. As the observations are made with the radio and visible light of the electromagnetic radiations. So in order to have the clear view, observatories are made at higher places far from population, in the dark areas  having clear air, where they can clearly observe the sky. Atmospheric blurring is caused by the atmospheric turbulence. That cause the light coming from the stars to get slightly refracted thus effecting the results of the telescopes. In order to overcome it observatories are made at specific places like on the highest mountaintops.
