Answer:

the energy increases 4 times

Explanation:

A spring has an elastic potential energy that is given by the expression

          K_e = ½ K (x-x₀)²

where x is the distance from the equilibrium point and k is the return constant

if the spring is stretched at  x-x₀ = 2x₀, the energy value

        K_e = ½ k (2x₀)²

        K_e = ½ k 4 x₀²

        K_e = 4 (½ k x₀²)

        \frac{K_e}{ \frac{1}{2} k x_o^2} = 4

therefore the energy increases 4 times

miss Akunina [59]
The total work done by the electric field on the charge is given by the scalar product between the electric force acting on the charge and the displacement of the charge:
W=F d cos \theta
where the force is F=qE, d=0.556 and \theta=55.2^{\circ}. Using the value of q and E given by the problem, we find
W=qEdcos\theta = 6.39\cdot10^{-5}J

Define: New Moon, Full Moon, Waxing phases and Waning phases.
Nutka1998 [239]
Full moon: All of the moon or sun appears covers by the shadow.
When the moon is waxing, it means that the lit part is getting larger (going towards a full moon)
When the moon is waning , it means that the lit part is getting smaller (going towards a new moon)
The new moon represents the start of a new lunar cycle and occurs approximately every 29 days.

Hope that help:)

What best explains whether bromine (Br) or neon (Ne) is more likely to form a covalent bond? On left, a purple circle labeled Br
blondinia [14]

Answer:

I believe the answer is Bromine forms covalent bonds because it has many electron shells, but neon has only two electron shells and is tightly bound to its electrons.

Explanation:

valence electrons are the outermost shell, so when you go through keeping that in mind it helps you find the right answer

The elements least likely to form bonds are found in which group?<br> O 15<br> O 16<br> 017<br> O 18
12345 [234]
The answer is group 18.

Explanation:
Group 18 is known as the Noble Gases. They are the most stable elements because they have a full outer shell of valence electrons, so they have no need to bond with other elements.
