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

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

f=1.57\times 10^9\ Hz

Explanation:

Given that,

A system can detect objects as small as 19.1 cm i.e. 0.191 m. It is the wavelength.

We know that,

Frequency, f=\dfrac{c}{\lambda}

So,

f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{0.191}\\\\=1.57\times 10^9\ Hz

So, the frequency of such a system is equal to1.57\times 10^9\ Hz.

Answer:

These 5 principles can be better understood from the past events as well as from formation of the sedimentary rocks

Explanation:

Principle of original horizontal- the sedimentary rocks are found to be horizontal during the initial deposits phase. If  tilted this is due to the subsequent geological event.

Principle of original lateral continuity- The sedimentary beds are originally laterally continuous into their environment of deposition. Faulting in the severe folding and also erosion may leads to the separation of the originally lateral continuous beds which in later becomes separate units.

Principle of cross cutting- The younger features can get cuts across the older features. That's why faults,  erosion, volcanoes etc can be seen. The above mentioned are younger than those materials that is faulted intruded, or eroded.

Principle of inclusion- Inclusion itself means (a rock fragment another rock fragment) they must be older than the materials in.

Principle of uniformity-  Those are the physical process that are been seen today, were also worked in the same way in the geologic past, thus modern methods helps us to understand the ancient events.
