Answer:

11.25 m

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Spring constant (K) = 1.2 N/m

Energy (E) = 76 J

Compression (e) =?

Energy stored in a spring is given by the following equation:

E = ½Ke²

Where:

E => Energy stored in the spring.

K => spring constant

e => Extention or compression

With the above formula, we can obtain how much the spring has been squashed as follow:

Spring constant (K) = 1.2 N/m

Energy (E) = 76 J

Compression (e) =?

E = ½Ke²

76 = ½ × 1.2 × e²

76 = 0.6 × e²

Divide both side by 0.6

e² = 76 / 0.6

Take the square root of both side.

e = √(76 / 0.6)

e = 11.25 m

Thus, the spring has been squashed by 11.25 m

A 250 kg car has 6875 kg•m/s of momentum. What is it’s velocity?
liraira [26]

Answer:

v = 27.5 m/s

Explanation:

p = m × v

6,875 = 250 × v

250v = 6,875

v = 6,875/250

v = 27.5 m/s

what effect would you expect the termperature of a material to have on the ease with which electrons can be ejected from it via
Ilya [14]

Answer:

The photoelectric effect is a phenomenon in which the photoelectrons are emitted from the metal when an incident electromagnetic wave hits the metal. The incident light should have a threshold frequency to meet the work function of the metal

How is work affected when an object is lifted straight up instead of using a ramp? Work will increase.
kifflom [539]
Without friction, the amount of work only depends on the final height,
and is not affected by the route used to get there. 

If the ramp has no friction, then it has no effect on the total amount
of work done.  The work to lift the load straight up is the same.

If the ramp has some friction, then it takes more work to use the ramp
than to lift the load straight up.  Then the work to lift the load straight up
would be less than when the ramp is used.

Please answer B, C, E, and D
Natasha_Volkova [10]
B- the biosphere needs the hydrosphere (water) to survive. They drink the water.
C- the biosphere use the géosphère as land/ home.
D-The géosphère depends on the hydrosphere for water. Without the water, the géosphère would eventually turn dry and nothing will be able to grow
E- The animals in the hydrosphere need air to survive. The gills on sea animals are used to filter out the water from the oxygen and use the oxygen to breathe. As the fish opens its mouth, water runs over the gills, and blood in the capillaries picks up oxygen that's dissolved in the water.
