5 0

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.

# A cheetah can start from rest and attain the velocity 72km/h in 2 seconds. Calculate the acceleration of cheetah
yan [13]

Answer:

<h2>10 \: m/s ^2</h2><h2 />

Explanation:

Solution,

When a certain object comes in motion from rest, in the case, initial velocity = 0 m/s

Initial velocity ( u ) = 0 m/s

Final velocity ( v ) = 72 km/h ( Given)

We have to convert 72 km /h in m/s

72 \: km \: per \: hour

= 72 \times  \frac{1000}{60  \times 60}

= 20 m/s

Final velocity ( v ) = 20 m/s

Time taken ( t ) = 2 seconds

Acceleration (a) = ?

Now,

we have,

a =  \frac{v - u}{t}

a =  \frac{20 - 0}{2}

a =  \frac{20}{2}

a = 10 m/s ^2

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..

A race car reaches the finish line and the driver slows down to come to a stop. If it takes the car 10 seconds to stop at a cons
boyakko [2]

Answer:

53.64 m/s

Explanation:

Applying,

a = (v-u)/t............. Equation 1

Where a = acceleration of the car, v = final velocity of the car, u = initial velocity of the car, t = time.

make u the subject of the equation

u = v-at............. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: a = -12 mph/s = -5.364 m/s², t = 10 seconds, v = 0 m/s (comes to stop)

Substitute these values into equation 2

u = 0-(-5.364×10)

u = 0+53.64

u = 53.64 m/s

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy = 0.5(Mass)(Velocity2)

Kinetic energy= 0.5 × 10kg × (50m/s)2

Kinetic Energy = 5kg × 2500m/s

Kinetic energy = 125000 J ( Ans)

Lunna [17]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Let Charge of 1\ \mu C is taken from points A & B such that V_A-V_B=1000\ V.

We need to find the energy of charge. Electric potential is defined as the work done per unit of electric charge. So,

W=(V_B-V_A)q\\\\W=-1000\times 10^{-6}\\\\W=E=-10^{-3}\ J

So, the energy of charge decreases by 10^{-3}\ J. Hence, the correct option  is (a).
