Answer:

2.1J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Spring constant = 128N/m

Compression = 0.18m

Unknown:

Potential energy of the spring = ?

Solution

The potential energy of the spring is the elastic potential energy within the spring.

To solve this;

Elastic potential energy = $\frac{1}{2}$ k e²

k is the spring constant

e is the compression

Now;

Elastic potential energy = $\frac{1}{2}$ x 128 x 0.18² = 2.1J

The velocity of an object is the _____ of the object

katovenus [111]

D. Speed and direction, this is because velocity is a vector quantity so has a magnitude and direction assigned to it because it is the rate of change of displacement.

Consider a block on frictionless ice. Starting from rest, the block travels a distance din

sweet [91]

Answer:

<em>The distance is now 4d</em>

Explanation:

<u>Mechanical Force</u>

According to the second Newton's law, the net force exerted by an external agent on an object of mass m is:

F = m.a

Where a is the acceleration of the object.

The acceleration can be calculated by solving for a:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{F}{m}$

Once we know the acceleration, we can calculate the distance traveled by the block as follows:

$\displaystyle d = vo.t+\frac{at^2}{2}$

If the block starts from rest, vo=0:

$\displaystyle d = \frac{at^2}{2}$

Substituting the value of the acceleration:

$\displaystyle d = \frac{\frac{F}{m}t^2}{2}$

Simplifying:

$\displaystyle d = \frac{Ft^2}{2m}$

When a force F'=4F is applied and assuming the mass is the same, the new acceleration is:

$\displaystyle a'=\frac{4F}{m}$

And the distance is now:

$\displaystyle d' = \frac{4Ft^2}{2m}$

Dividing d'/d:

$\displaystyle \frac{d' }{d}=\frac{\frac{4Ft^2}{2m}}{\frac{Ft^2}{2m}}$

Simplifying:

$\displaystyle \frac{d' }{d}=4$

Thus:

d' = 4d

The distance is now 4d

wo fixed charges, A and B are located at x axis. A is at x = 0 m, B is at x = 4 m. QA = +4.0 μC and QB = -5.0 μC. Calculate the

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

10250 N/C leftwards

Explanation:

QA = 4 micro Coulomb

QB = - 5 micro Coulomb

AP = 6 m

BP = 2 m

A is origin, B is at 4 m and P is at 6 m .

The electric field due to charge QA at P is EA rightwards

$E_{A}=\frac{KQ_{A}}{AP^{2}}=\frac{9\times10^{9}\times4\times10^{-6}}{6^{2}}=1000 N/C (rightwards)$

The electric field due to charge QB at P is EB leftwards

$E_{B}=\frac{KQ_{B}}{BP^{2}}=\frac{9\times10^{9}\times5\times10^{-6}}{2^{2}}=11250 N/C (leftwards)$

The resultant electric field at P due the charges is given by

E = EB - EA

E = 11250 - 1000 = 10250 N/C leftwards
