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.

An experiment is done to compare the initial speed of projectiles fired from high-performance catapults. The catapults are place

anzhelika [568]

Answer:1.084

Explanation:

Given

mass of Pendulum M=10 kg

mass of bullet m=5.5 gm

velocity of bullet u

After collision let say velocity is v

conserving momentum we get

$mu=(M+m)v$

$v=\frac{m}{M+m}\times u$

Conserving Energy for Pendulum

Kinetic Energy=Potential Energy

$\frac{(M+m)v^2}{2}=(M+m)gh$

here $h=L(1-\cos \theta )$ from diagram

therefore

$v=\sqrt{2gL(1-\cos \theta )}$

initial velocity in terms of v

$u=\frac{M+m}{m}\times \sqrt{2gL(1-\cos \theta )}$

For first case $\theta =6.8^{\circ}$

$u_1=\frac{M+m_1}{m_1}\times \sqrt{2gL(1-\cos 6.8)}$

for second case $\theta =11.4^{\circ}$

$u_2=\frac{M+m_2}{m_2}\times \sqrt{2gL(1-\cos 11.4)}$

Therefore $\frac{u_1}{u_2}=\frac{\frac{M+m_1}{m_1}\times \sqrt{2gL(1-\cos 6.8)}}{\frac{M+m_2}{m_2}\times \sqrt{2gL(1-\cos 11.4)}}$

$\frac{u_1}{u_2}=\frac{1819.181\times 0.0838}{1001\times 0.1404}$

$\frac{u_1}{u_2}=1.084$

i.e. $\frac{v_1}{v_2}=1.084$

The blood pressure of human body is greater at the feet than at the brain. why?give reason

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Gravity stronger closer to the core of the earth

Explanation:

The gravity applied to the feet is stronger than to the upper part of the body for example the brain because of the distance it is between the body part and the core of the earth where the gravity force is pulling towards. Even though the difference between the gravity force between the brain and the feet is minimal it is still a greater force at the feet than at the brain

Why does the chord of an electric heater not glow while the heating element does

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The heating element of the heater is made up of alloy which has very high resistance so when current flows through the heating element, it becomes too hot and glows red. But the resistance of cord which is usually of copper or aluminum is very low so it does not glow.

Hi i need answers for this. Thank you!! this is also really important and is due tomorrow at 9am!!

Allushta [10]

Answer:

You're four sentences should include about how the roller coaster has the most potential energy at the top of the track, and the opposing energy, "kinetic" has the most kinetic energy when going down the hill.

Explanation:

Kinetic - In-Motion.

Potential - Gathering Energy to go into Motion.

( I'll try to answer questions to clear up confusion. )
