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}.

A ball is thrown vertically upward, which is the positive direction. a little later it returns to its point of release. the ball
Lady_Fox [76]
<span>Final Velocity = Vf = 0 m/s --------------> (Vf = 0 because ball's speed at its max height is 0) Initial Velocity = Vi = ? Total time (upward & downward) = 8.0 seconds * Time upward = 4 seconds & ................( As time for ball upward & downward is equal ) * Time downward = 4 seconds.. Gravitational Acceleration = g = -9.8 m/s² Use Equation; Vf = Vi - gt 0 = Vi - 9.8 * 4 0 = Vi - 39.2 39.2 = Vi => Vi = Initial Velocity = 39.2 m/s</span>

The acceleration of gravity is -9.8 m/s2. A sling shot fires a rock straight up into the air with a speed of +39.2 m/s. 1. what
Vanyuwa [196]

Given that,

The acceleration of gravity is -9.8 m/s²

Initial velocity, u = 39.2 m/s

Time, t = 2 s

To find,

The final velocity of the shot.

Solution,

Let v is the final velocity of sling shot. Using first equation of motion to find it.

v = u +at

Here, a = -g

v = u-gt

v = (39.2)-(9.8)(2)

v = 19.6 m/s

So, its velocity after 2 seconds is 19.6 m/s.

The bus is heading southwest at 56 miles per hour is it veloctiy or speed
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

Its velocity

Explanation:

Velocity is speed with a direction.

Speed is the rate at which someone or something is able to move or operate.

In the question its telling us that the bus is going 56 miles per hour but it aslo gives us a direction, in this case is southwest.
