Answer:

k = 44000 N/m

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Maximum gravitational potential energy = 770 J

Elastic potential energy = 14% of 770 J = 14/100 * 770 = 107.8 J

Extension, x = 42 - 35 = 7cm to meters = 7/100 = 0.07 m

To find the spring constant, k;

The elastic potential energy of an object is given by the formula;

$E.P.E = \frac {1}{2}kx^{2}$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$107.8 = \frac {1}{2}*k*0.07^{2}$

$107.8 = \frac {1}{2}*k*0.0049$

Cross-multiplying, we have;

$215.6 = k*0.0049$

$k = \frac {215.6}{0.0049}$

k = 44000 N/m

otez555 [7]

Answer:

The length of the solar day will get shorter.

Explanation:

The blue planet Earth not only rotates around it's own axis but also rotates around the Sun and everyday it moves a little bit around the axis.
Since the speed of the Earth's rotation on it's own axis and around the Sun is constant we don't feel the effects of the rotation.We can only feel the motion if the earth changes it's rotation speed.
If by any means or chance the Earth stopped spinning (stopped rotation) then the atmosphere surrounding the Earth would be in motion and all the Earth's land would be scoured clean.

A battery with an internal resistance ofrand an emf of 10.00 V is connected to a loadresistorR=r. As the battery ages, the inter

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The current is reduced to half of its original value.

Explanation:

Assuming we can apply Ohm's Law to the circuit, as the internal resistance and the load resistor are in series, we can find the current I₁ as follows:

$I_{1} = \frac{V}{R_{int} +r_{L} }$

where Rint = r and RL = r
Replacing these values in I₁, we have:

$I_{1} = \frac{V}{R_{int} +r_{L} } = \frac{V}{2*r} (1)$

When the battery ages, if the internal resistance triples, the new current can be found using Ohm's Law again:

$I_{2} = \frac{V}{R_{int} +r_{L} } = \frac{V}{(3*r) +r} = \frac{V}{4*r} (2)$

We can find the relationship between I₂, and I₁, dividing both sides, as follows:

$\frac{I_{2} }{I_{1} } = \frac{V}{4*r} *\frac{2*r}{V} = \frac{1}{2}$

The current when the internal resistance triples, is half of the original value, when the internal resistance was r, equal to the resistance of the load.
