What is the length a rubberband was stretched if it has a spring constant of 5700N/m and is currently holding 8600J OF POTENTIAL

energy?

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}

Explain the difference between general intelligence and specific intelligence.
Olegator [25]

Answer:

General intelligence refers to the existence of a broad mental capacity that influences performance on cognitive ability measures.

Specific intelligence refers to a person's aptitude in individual 'modalities' or abilities rather than the more general understanding of intelligence.

What is the net force on a bag pulled down by gravity with a force of 18 newtons and pulled upward by a rope with a force of 18
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

0 N.

Explanation:

Force: This can be defined as the product of mass and the acceleration of the body. The S.I unit of force is Newton (N).

The expression of net force when both force act in the different direction is given as

F' = W-F ........................ Equation 1

Where F' = Net force on the bag, W = gravitational force on the bag, F = Force acting upward on the bag

Given: W = 18 N, F = 18 N.

Substitute into equation 1

F' = 18-18

F' = 0 N.

Hence the net force = 0 N.

The barometric pressure in breckenridge, colorado (elevation 9600 feet) is 580 mm hg. how many atmospheres is this?
Maksim231197 [3]

1 atmospheric pressure = 760.0 mm Hg

Thus 580 mm Hg = (580 mm Hg/(760 mm Hg/atm))

= 0.763 atm

Suppose Earth orbited a star whose mass was double the mass of the sun. If the radius of Earth’s orbit remained the same as it i
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Two times as much

Explanation:

The equation for gravitational force is: Fg = GMm/r^2 with G being the universal gravitational constant.

So to make things easier we'll set r equal to 1 since it's a constant as well as G.

Then we're left with Fg=Mm with M being the mass of the sun and m being the mass of the earth.

So if m is constant and supposedly equals 1 then Fg=M so Fg is proportional to M therefore if M doubles then Fg doubles.

2. It is now 10:29 a.m., but when the bell rings at 10:30 a.m. Suzette will be late for French class for the third time this wee
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

  • 62 seconds
  • no

Explanation:

The total travel time Suzette experiences is the sum of the times in each hallway. Using

  time = distance/speed

we can add the times.

  (35.0 m)/(3.50 m/s) +(48.0 m)/(1.20 m/s) +(60 m)/(5.0 m/s)

  = 10 s + 40 s + 12 s

  = 62 s

It takes Suzette 62 seconds to get to class. She does not beat the bell.
