Answer:

Explanation:

Hooke's Law states:

F = -kx

where F = force

k = spring constant

x = displacement of spring

20 = -(50)x

-20/50 = x = -2/5

We can now use this information to find the energy in the Elastic Potential Energy Formula which is...

1/2(k)(x)^2

1/2(50)(2/5)^2 = 4J

A Parallel circuit has certain characteristics and basic rules: A parallel circuit has two or more paths for current to flow through. Voltage is the same across each component of the parallel circuit. The sum of the currents through each path is equal to the total current that flows from the source.

An object of mass 800g hangs on a spring. Calculate the force exerted by the object if acceleration due to gravity is 10/s2

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

8 N

Explanation:

Using the equation F=ma (F: force/ m: mass in kg/ a: acceleration),

F = (800/1000)(10)

F = 8 N

classic physics problem states that if a projectile is shot vertically up into the air with an initial velocity of 128 feet per

ddd [48]

Answer:

$t_1 = 0.28 s$

$t_2 = 7.72 s$

Explanation:

Given that height of the projectile as a function of time is

$h = -16 t^2 + 128 t + 112$

here we know that

h = 147 ft

so from above equation

$147 = -16 t^2 + 128 t + 112$

$16 t^2 - 128 t + 35 = 0$

now by solving above quadratic equation we know that

$t_1 = 0.28 s$

$t_2 = 7.72 s$

David rowed a boat upstream for three miles and then returned to point he started from. The entire journey took four hours. The

frez [133]

Upstream speed = S - 1
Downstream speed = S + 1

Average speed = total distance / total time

Average speed = (S - 1) + (S + 1) / 2
= S

S = 6 miles / 4 hours
S = 1.5 miles per hour
