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}

What are the basic rules of basketball? Are the rules different for men’s versus women’s competition?
Vlad [161]

The 5 main rules are two teams of five players each try to score by shooting a ball through a hoop elevated 10 feet above the ground. The game is played on a rectangular floor called the court, and there is a hoop at each end. The rules are basically the same but the women's ball is one inch smaller than the mens ball.

When people use plastic combs on their hair, the combs become negatively charged. Which statements about this situation are true
Vadim26 [7]
The answer would be:
The comb gains electrons.
The hair loses electrons.

In chemistry, the charge depends on the electrons and protons. The electron will give negative charge and proton will give the positive charge. Proton is located in the nucleus of the atoms so it won't easily move like electron which located in the orbit in the atoms perimeter. So, ignore the option with the proton.
If the combs become negatively charged, that means it gain some electron. Since something gain electron, that means another thing is losing an electron. That electron comes from the hair.

Are u god tell me u have to tell me are u a god
Allushta [10]

They tell me I'm a god, I'm lost in the facade

Six-feet off the ground at all times, I think I'm feelin' odd

No matter what I make, they never see mistakes

Makin' so much bread, I don't care that they're just being fake

They tell me they're below me, I act like I'm above

The people blend together but I would be lost without their love

Can you heal me? Have I gained too much?

When you become untouchable, you're unable to touch

Is there a real me? Pop the champagne

It hurts me just to think and I don't do pain

Stayin' still, eyes closed

Let the world just pass me by

Pain pills, nice clothes

If I fall, I think I'll fly

Touch me, Midas

Make me part of your design

None to guide us

I feel fear for the very last time.

James (mass 95.0 kg ) and Ramon (mass 67.0 kg ) are 20.0 m apart on a frozen pond. Midway between them is a mug of their favorit
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

The speed of James is 0.776 m/s

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

mass of James = 95.0 kg

mass of Ramon = 67.0 kg

We consider James and Ramon and the rope to a single system. This means that the net external forces on the system = 0

.The momentum = 0, so the sum of the momentum of each part must be 0 in total.

Step 2: Calculate the speed of James

m(james) *v(James) = m(Ramon) * v(Ramon)

with m(James) = the mass of James = 95.0 kg

with v(James) = speed of James = TO BE DETERMINED

with m(Ramon) = mass of Ramon = 67.0 kg

with v(Ramon) = speed of Ramon = 1.10 m/s

v(James) =  (m(Ramon) * v(Ramon))/ m(james)

v(James) = (67.0 kg* 1.10 m/s) / 95.0 kg

v(James) = 0.776 m/s

The speed of James is 0.776 m/s
