<h2>Answer:</h2>

4E

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The elastic potential energy of an elastic material (e.g a spring, a wire), is the energy stored when the material is stretched or compressed. It is given by

U = \frac{1}{2}kx^2               --------------------(i)

Where;

U = potential energy stored

k = spring constant of the material

x = elongation (extension or compression of the material).

<em>From the first statement;</em>

<em>when elongation (x) is 4cm, energy stored (U) is E</em>

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

E = \frac{1}{2}k(4)^2

E = 8k

<em>Make k subject of the formula</em>    

k = \frac{E}{8}   [measured in J/cm]

<em>From the second statement;</em>

<em>It is stretched by 4cm.</em>

This means that total elongation will be 4cm + 4cm = 8cm.

The potential energy stored will be found by substituting the value of x = 8cm and k = \frac{E}{8} into equation (i) as follows;

U = \frac{1}{2}\frac{E}{8} (8)^2  

U = \frac{1}{2}{8E}

U = {4E}

Therefore, the potential energy stored will now be 4 times the original one.

The sine ratio is the ratio formed by the hypotenuse over the side opposite the acute angle. True False
Paha777 [63]

Answer:False

Explanation:

The given statement is false

because the sine ratio is the ratio formed by the side opposite the acute angle to the hypotenuse

\sin (acute\ angle)=\frac{Perpendicular}{hypotenuse}

Solve for M₂
soldi70 [24.7K]

Explanation:

M₂ = Fr²/GM₁

M₂ = [(132N)(.243m)²]/[(6.67*10^-11N*m²/kg)(1.175*10^4kg)]

M₂ = (7.79N*m²)/(7.84*10^-7N*m²)

M₂ = 9.94*10^6 kg
