Answer:

1.876 J

Explanation:

First, let’s calculate the compression of the spring from the Hooke’s law:

F=kx,

here, F=75 N is the force acted on the spring, k=1500 N⁄m is the force constant of the spring, x is the compression of the spring.

Then, we get:

x=F/k=(75 N)/(1500 N/m)=0.05 m.

Finally, we can find the potential energy stored in the spring:

PE=1/2 kx^2=1/2∙1500 N/m∙(0.05 m)^2=1.875 J.

correct my answer if it's wrong ^^

31) The basic concept of how a simple motor works is explained by which statement?

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

When a wire that carries electrical current is placed in a magnetic field the wire experiences a force.

Explanation:

The electric motor is a device which convert electrical energy into mechanical energy ie when current carrying conductor is placed in magnetic field it experience a force. Flemings left hand rule explains the direction of the current.

The electric motor works by attraction and repulsion of magnetic field.

So the option d explains basic concept of simple motor ie when when current carrying wire is placed in the magnetic field it experience magnetic repulsive force.

plates of a parallel-plate capacitor are 2.50 mm apart, and each carries a charge of magnitude 85.0 nC . The plates are in vacuu

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

12500 V

Explanation:

The electric field in the gap of a parallel-plate capacitor is uniform, so the following relationship between electric field strength, potential difference and distance can be used:

$\Delta V = E d$

where

$\Delta V$ is the potential difference between the plates

E is the electric field strength

d is the distance between the plates

For the capacitor in this problem, we have

$E=5.00\cdot 10^6 V/m$

$d = 2.50 mm = 2.50\cdot 10^{-3} m$

Substituting, we find

$\Delta V = (5.00\cdot 10^6)(2.50\cdot 10^{-3})=12500 V$

The earth rotates about its pole once every 24 hrs. The distance from the pole to a location on the Earth is 35* north latitude

Oksana_A [137]

The angular velocity, ω=
2π/t; t = 24 hrs = 24 x 3600 seconds = 86400 s
ω = 7.27 x 10⁻⁵
v = ωr
= 7.27 x 10⁻⁵ x 3242.8 x 1.6 x 1000 (converting miles to meters)
= 377.2 m/s

Brayden and Riku now use their skills to work a problem. Find the equivalent resistance, the current supplied by the battery and

Liono4ka [1.6K]

a) $5 \Omega$ , 1.6 A

b) $6 \Omega$ , 1.33 A

Explanation:

In this situation, we have two resistors connected in series.

The equivalent resistance of resistors in series is equal to the sum of the individual resistances, so in this circuit:

$R=R_1+R_2$

where

$R_1=4\Omega$

$R_2=1 \Omega$

Therefore, the equivalent resistance is

$R=4+1=5 \Omega$

Now we can use Ohm's Law to find the current flowing through the circuit:

$I=\frac{V}{R}$

where

V = 8 V is the voltage supplied by the battery

$R=5\Omega$ is the equivalent resistance of the circuit

Substituting,

$I=\frac{8}{5}=1.6 A$

The two resistors are connected in series, therefore the current flowing through each resistor is the same, 1.6 A.

In this part, a third resistor is added in series to the circuit; so the new equivalent resistance of the circuit is

$R=R_1+R_2+R_3$

where:

$R_1=4\Omega\\R_2=1\Omega\\R_3=1\Omega$

Substituting, we find the equivalent resistance:

$R=4+1+1=6 \Omega$

Now we can find the current through the circuit by using again Ohm's Law:

$I=\frac{V}{R}$

where

V = 8 V is the voltage supplied by the battery

$R=6\Omega$ is the equivalent resistance

Substituting,

$I=\frac{8}{6}=1.33 A$

And the three resistors are connected in series, therefore the current flowing through each resistor is the same, 1.33 A.

An ice skater slides in a straight line across the ice. As she passes a certain point, her velocity is 24 km/hr. Two seconds lat

gulaghasi [49]

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (later speed) - (earlier speed) = (13 - 24) = -11 km/hr
Time for the change = 2 seconds

Acceleration = (-11 km/hr) / (2 sec)

Acceleration = -5.5 km/hr-sec (B)
