Answer:

The potential energy stored in the spring is 0.018 J.

Explanation:

Given;

spring constant, k = 90 N/m

extension of the spring, x = 2 cm = 0.02 m

The potential energy stored in the spring is calculated as;

U = ¹/₂kx²

where;

U is the potential energy stored in the spring

Substitute the given values in the equation above;

U = ¹/₂  x  90 N/m  x  (0.02 m)²

U = 0.018 J

Therefore, the  potential energy stored in the spring is 0.018 J.

If an object's mass is decreasing while a constant force is applied to the object, would its acceleration decrease, increase, or
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

With the decreasing object mass, the acceleration will also decrease.

Explanation:

Newton's second law of motion infers the relation between force F, acceleration a and mass m of a body. It is expressed as:

F = ma

When force is constant, we get m α 1/a, that is mass is inversely proportional to the acceleration of the body.

Hence when object's mass decreases, the acceleration will increase. and vice versa

What causes gaps in the asteroid belt (known as Kirkwood Gaps)?
torisob [31]

Answer:

(b) Gravitational interactions with Jupiter

Explanation:

Gaps in the asteroid belt also known as Kirkwood Gaps are caused by the gravitational interaction between Jupiter and asteriods with Jupiter's orbital period. These Jupiter's orbital period occurs in a simple fraction, such as half, one-third, quarter etc.

Therefore, the correct option is "b" Gravitational interactions with Jupiter.

Technician A says that the crankshaft determines the stroke of an engine. Technician B says that the length of the connecting ro
Rudik [331]

Answer:

Technician A is correct.

Explanation:

Stroke of the engine means how far is the piston moves during the cycle.It is determined by the crank of the crank shaft. Engine displacement volume  is calculated by multiplying length of the stroke to the piston displacement area.

                          If there are more than one cylinder in the engine, than in that case this number in multiplied by the number of the cylinders inside the engine.

Therefore technician A is correct.
