Answer:

Workdone = 20 Joules

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Force = 10N

Extension, e = 4cm to meters = 4/100 = 0.04 meters

Workdone extension = 40cm to meters = 40/100 = 0.4 meters

To find the work done;

First of all, we would find the spring constant using the formula;

Force = spring constant * extension

10 = spring constant * 0.04

Spring constant = 10/0.04

Spring constant = 250 N/m

Next, we find the work done;

Workdone = ½ke²

Where;

k is the spring constant.

e is the extension.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Workdone = ½ * 250 * 0.4²

Workdone = 125 * 0.16

Workdone = 20 Joules

5. Why are ceramics and plastics good insulators?

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

Here

Explanation:

They don't have free electrons moving around (delocalised electrons) so they can't conduct heat and electricity which gives them a property of good insulators. The insulators stop us having an electric shock because they don't conduct electricity as we use them to insulate metal wires and other metallic things. can i have brainliest now pls!

Dina has a mass of 50 kilograms and is waiting at the top of a ski slope that’s 5.0 meters high.

Over [174]

All of Dina's potential energy Ep is converted into kinetic energy Ek so Ep=Ek, where Ep=m*g*h and Ek=(1/2)*m*v². m is the mass of Dina, h is the height of ski slope, g=9.8 m/s² and v is the maximal velocity.

So we solve for v:

m*g*h=(1/2)*m*v², masses cancel out,

g*h=(1/2)*v², we multiply by 2,

2*g*h=v² and take the square root to get v

√(2*g*h)=v, we plug in the numbers and get:

v=9.9 m/s.

So Dina's maximum velocity on the bottom of the ski slope is v=9.9 m/s.

Help me, please with this queastion

sergejj [24]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is the energy due to motion. Potential energy is energy stored in matter. The joule (J) is the SI unit of energy and equals (kg×m2s2) ( kg × m 2 s 2 ) .

observe the figure given carefully volume of water in each vessel is shown arrange them in order of decreasing pressure at the b

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

The pressure is defined as the product of the density of the liquid by the gravitational acceleration by the height, and can be easily calculated by means of the following equation.

$P=Ro*g*h$

where:

Ro = density of the fluid [kg/m³]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

h = elevation [m]

In this way we can understand that the greater pressure is achieved by means of the height of the liquid, that is, as long as the fluid has more height, greater pressure will be achieved at the bottom.

Therefore in order of decreasing will be

The largest pressure with the largest height of the liquid, container B. The next is obtained with container D, the next with container A and the lowest pressure with container C.

The pressure decreases as we go from the container B - D - A - C
