Answer:

Work done is \frac{3}{2}kx^{2}.

Explanation:

The work done by the spring is the same as the potential energy stored in the spring.

So that,

work done = potential energy = \frac{1}{2} kx^{2}

where k is the spring constant of the material of the spring, and x is the compression.

When the spring is compressed by x;

work done = \frac{1}{2} kx^{2}

When the spring is compressed by 2x;

work done = \frac{1}{2} k(2x)^{2}

                  = \frac{1}{2} k(4x^{2})

                  = 2kx^{2}

Therefore,

The work done the second time more than the first = 2kx^{2} - \frac{1}{2} kx^{2}

                                                                                = \frac{3}{2}kx^{2}

The work done the second time more than the first is \frac{3}{2}kx^{2}.

What is the meaning of the saying "the power of a lens is 1 dioptre "​
timama [110]

Answer: 1 dioptre of power of a lens is defined as the unit of measuring the power of optical lens Or curved mirror which is equal to the reciprocal of the focal length. The focal length is measured in the meter. 1 dioptre is equal to 1/m where m is the focal length. Basically dioptre is the SI unit of optical power of the lens.

A uniform wooden plank with a mass of 75kg and length of 5m is placed on top of a brick wall so that 1.5m of plank extends beyon
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

x₂ = 1.33 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the rotational equilibrium condition, where the counterclockwise rotations are positive and the zero of the reference system is placed at the turning point on the wall

            Στ = 0

            W₁ x₁ - W₂ x₂ = 0

where W₁ is the weight of the woman, W₂ the weight of the table.

Let's find the distances.

Since the table is homogeneous, its center of mass coincides with its geometric center, measured at zero.

           x₁ = 2.5 -1.5 = 1 m

The distance of the person is x₂ measured from the turning point, at the point where the board begins to turn the girl must be on the left side so her torque must be negative

            x₂ = \frac{M_1g  }{m_2 g} \ x_1

           

let's calculate

           x₂ = \frac{100}{75}  \ 1

           x₂ = 1.33 m

Which of the following happens during cell division? Question 7 options: It becomes more difficult for the cell to get rid of wa
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer;

B. Each daughter cell receives its own copy of the parent cell's DNA.

Explanation;

Cell division is the process in which a parent cell divides, giving rise to two or more daughter cells. It is an essential biological process in many organisms.

There are two types of cell division. Mitosis is used for growth and repair and produces diploid cells identical to each other and the parent cell. Meiosis is used for sexual reproduction and produces haploid cells different to each other and the parent cell.

a hot iron bar is placed 100ml 22C water. the water temperature rises to 32C. how much heat did the water gain and how much heat
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

  • Water gained: 10
  • Iron lost: -10

Explanation:

Given: Hot iron bar is placed 100ml 22C water, the water temperature rises to 32C

To find: How much heat the water gain, how much heat did the iron bar lost

Formula:Q = change T x C x M

Solve:

<u>How much heat water gained</u>

Initial heat = 22, then rose to 32. To find how much heat the water gained, simply subtract the current heat by the initial heat.

                                              32 - 22 = 10

The water gained 10 amounts of heat.

<u>How much heat Iron lost</u>

Current heat = 32, then dropped to 22. To find how much heat the Iron lost, simply subtract the initial heat by the current heat.

                                                   22 - 32 = -10

The Iron lost -10 amounts of water.
