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 ^^

We want to find how much charge is on the electrons in a nickel coin. Follow this method. A nickel coin has a mass of about 4.2

monitta

Answer:

The number of atoms is $N = 4.37*10^{22} \ atoms$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of coin is $m_n = 4.2g$

Number of atom in one mole = $n =6.02*10^{23} \ atoms$

Molar mass of nickel $M = 57.8g$

Now the relation to obtain the number of atom in the nickel coin is

$N = \frac{Mass \ of Nickel\ coin}{Molar \ mass\ of nickel } * No\ of\atoms \ in \ \ one\ mole\ of\ nickel$

$= \frac{4.2}{57.8}* 6.02*10^{23}$

$=4.37 *10^{22} atoms$

Which statement correctly defines power?

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

$Power=V\, I$ which corresponds to the second option shown: "voltage times amperage"

Explanation:

The electric power is the work done to move a charge Q across a given difference of potential V per unit of time.

Since such electrical work is the product of the potential difference V times the charge that moves through that potential, and this work is to be calculated by the unit of time, we need to divide the product by time (t) which leads to the following final simple equation:

$Power=\frac{V\,Q}{t} =V\,\frac{Q}{t} = V\, I$

Notice that we replaced the quotient representing charge per unit of time (Q/t) by the actual current running through the circuit.

This corresponds to the second option shown in the question: "Voltage times amperage".

The Coriolis effect

alexandr402 [8]

The coriolis effect is due to the rotation of the earth. Look up youtube videos on it, its pretty cool. If we didn't have coriolis effect then hurricane's wouldn't even form! Also it affects the trajectory of hurricanes. If you look at a path a hurricane takes it always curves quite a bit. That's also because of the coriolis affect. Imagine you're on a merry go round or on some spinning disk. You throw a ball towards the center. The ball will seem to curve away from your target because you're spinning. Now its not because the ball curved and you missed, the ball goes in a straight line but because of the spinning the target you aimed at shifted.

Because velocity is speed with direction. In this scenario, the speed has not changed, but the direction did.

A runner taking part in the 200 m dash must run around the end of a track that has a circular arc with a radius of curvature of

nlexa [21]

Answer:

$a_c=1.44\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

<u>Centripetal Acceleration</u>

It's the acceleration that an object has when traveling on a circular path to take into consideration the constant change of velocity it must have in order to keep going in the circular path.

Being v the tangent speed, and r the radius of curvature of the circle, then the centripetal acceleration is given by

$\displaystyle a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}$
