Answer:

\displaystyle \Delta x=1.74\ m

Explanation:

<u>Elastic Potential Energy </u>

Is the energy stored in an elastic material like a spring of constant k, in which case the energy is proportional to the square of the change of length Δx and the constant k.

\displaystyle PE = \frac{1}{2}k(\Delta x)^2

Given a rubber band of a spring constant of k=5700 N/m that is holding potential energy of PE=8600 J, it's required to find the change of length under these conditions.

Solving for Δx:

\displaystyle \Delta x=\swrt{\frac{2PE}{k}}

Substituting:

\displaystyle \Delta x=\sqrt{\frac{2*8600}{5700}}

Calculating:

\displaystyle \Delta x=\sqrt{3.0175}

\boxed{\displaystyle \Delta x=1.74\ m}

She uses a voltmeter, that measures in volts, and an ammeter that measures in amps. Both were correctly placed in her circuit. I
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

A) the ammeter is x  

B)

  • voltage across R₁ (left resistor) =  0.75 V
  • voltage across the right one  = 0.3 V

C) 1.05 V

Explanation:

From the diagram attached below;

A) Assuming the homes were wired in series, and one of the homes face short circuit then all the houses would face power cut but it doesn't happen. So they must be connected in parallel.

Therefore; The ammeter is  connected in series, Hence, the ammeter is x  and the voltmeter must be z.

B)

Given that:

x = 0.15 A

z = 0.3 V

Resistor (R) on the left = 5 ohms

Then, voltage across R₁ (left resistor) = 5×(x)

= 5×0.15

= 0.75 V

voltage across the right one = z = 0.3 V

C)

The total voltage of battery = 0.75+0.3 = 1.05 V

Jin knows that the initial internal energy of a closed system is 78 J and the final internal energy is 180 J. He also knows that
lawyer [7]

As we know by the first law of thermodynamics

Q = \Delta U + W

here we know that

Q = heat given to the system

\Delta U = U_f - U_i

W = work done by the system

now here we can say

\Delta U = 180 - 78 = 102 J

W = 64 J

now we can say that heat will be given as

Q = 64 + 102 = 166 J

now here we can say that Jin does the error in his first step while calculation of change in internal energy as he had to subtract it while he added the two energy

So best describe Jin's Error is

<em>B )For step 1, he should have subtracted 78 J from 180 J to find the change in internal energy. </em>

After a collision between two different massed objects; the larger objects accelerate at a faster rate than the smaller object?
Nitella [24]

Answer: Things continue doing what they are doing unless a force is applied to it. Objects have a natural tendency to resist change. This is INERTIA. Heavier objects (objects with more mass) are more difficult to move and stop. Heavier objects (greater mass) resist change more than lighter objects, so true

Explanation:

Pushing a bicycle or a Cadillac, or stopping them once moving. The more massive the object (more inertia) the harder it is to start or stop. The Cadillac has more of a tendency to stay stationary (or continue moving), and resist a change in motion than a bicycle.

Why is it that an object can accelerate while
posledela

For the same reason that you can skate around a curve at constant speed but not with constant velocity.

The DIRECTION you're going is part of your velocity, but it's not part of your speed.

If the DIRECTION changes, that's a change of velocity.

The object doesn't have to change speed to have a different velocity. A change of direction is enough to do it.

And any change of velocity is called acceleration.
