Use Hooke's Law to determine the variable force in the spring problem. A force of 450 newtons stretches a spring 30 centimeters.

How much work is done in stretching the spring from 40 centimeters to 70 centimeters?

Answer:

Work Done = 67.5 J

Explanation:

First we find the value of spring constant (k) using Hooke's Law. Hooke's is formulated as:

F = kx

where,

F = Force Applied = 450 N

k = Spring Constant = ?

x = Stretched Length = 30 cm = 0.3 m

Therefore,

450 N = k(0.3 m)

k = 450 N/0.3 m

k = 1500 N/m

Now, the formula for the work done in stretching the spring is given as:

W = (1/2)kx²

Where,

W = Work done = ?

k = 1500 N/m

x = 70 cm - 40 cm = 0.3 m

Therefore,

W = (1/2)(1500 N/m)(0.3 m)²

<u>W = 67.5 J</u>

QveST [7]

Answer: BOTH ARE TRUE

Explanation: Nondestructive testing or Evaluation is a term used in the field of science and technology to describe the evaluations, analysis or testing carried out on components of materials without destroying any part or components of the test materials. It is very useful in scientific research or industrial engineering environments. When any disruption of physical structure or configuration of a component will lead to discontinuing of the test, and it may not affect the usefulness of the affected parts.

If the size of the charge value is tripled for both of twopoint charges maintained at a constant separation, the mutual forcebet
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

a) 9.0

Explanation:

The force between two point charges, obeys Coulomb's Law, which can be written as follows:

F =\frac{k*q1*q2}{(r12)^{2} }

As it  can be seen, if the separation between the charges remains the same, the new value of the force will be directly proportional to the product of the charges.

If both charges are tripled, the mutual force between them will be changed in a factor equal to 3.0*3.0 = 9.0

kiruha [24]
The gravitational potential energy of an object depends on three things. Its mass, its height above the surface of the earth and the pull of gravity (which is assumed to always be 9.8 m/s².

The Formula for finding the GPE is : m x g x h where m = mass, g = gravitational acceleration and h is height from earth's surface. 

Using this formula we can find that :
GPE= 75 x 9.8 x 300 = 220500J (where J is the SI unit for GPE and stands for Joules.
