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

If a skydiver weighs 800 N, what would air resistance be when he is at terminal velocity?
serg [7]
We call "terminal velocity" the constant speed of a falling body
when it is no longer accelerating.

We know that if a body is not accelerating, then the net force
on it is zero.

From the question, we know that the downward force of gravity
on the skydiver is 800 N.

If the 800 N downward plus the air resistance upward add up
to zero, then the air resistance upward must also be 800 N.

luda_lava [24]
Use this equation
Distance(s)=speed(v)•time(t)
Given,req-soln
1.
S=10cm=0.1m
t=4sec
V=s/t=>0.1•10/4•10=>1/40=0.025
2.
V=0.1m/s
t=1.5 sec
S=vt =0.1•1.5=0.15
