A force of 20 N compresses a spring with a spring constant 50 N/m. How much energy is stored in the spring?

Physics

Alex787 [66]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

4J

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

The atomic number, or ________ number, is the described as the number of _________ in the nucleus of an chemical element.
Leto [7]
The atomic number or proton number (symbol Z) of a chemical element is the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom. It is identical to the charge number of the nucleus. The atomic number uniquely identifies a chemical element. In an uncharged atom, the atomic number is also equal to the number of electrons.

The coefficient of linear expansion of steel is 12 × 10-6 K-1 . What is the change in length of a 25-m steel bridge span when it
Westkost [7]

Answer:

0.012-m

Explanation:

∆L = α × Lo × (T-To)

α is the coefficient of linear expansion = 12 × 10-6 K-1

Lo = Initial length = 25-m

∆L = Change in length

(T-To) = 40 K

∆L = 12 × 10-6 × 25 × 40

∆L = 0.012-m
