Answer:

the energy of the spring at the start is 400 J.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the box, m = 8.0 kg

final speed of the box, v = 10 m/s

Apply the principle of conservation of energy to determine the energy of the spring at the start;

Final Kinetic energy of the box = initial elastic potential energy of the spring

K.E = Ux

¹/₂mv² = Ux

¹/₂ x 8 x 10² = Ux

400 J = Ux

Therefore, the energy of the spring at the start is 400 J.

A 13-kg sled is moving at a speed of 3.0 m/s. At which of the following speeds will the sled have twice as much kinetic energy?
AysviL [449]
K.E. = 1/2 mv²
K.E. is directly proportional to v^2
So, when K.E. increase by 2, K.E. increase by root. 2
v' = 1.41v
original v value was 3 so, final would be:
v' = 1.41*3 = 4.23
After round-off to it's tenth value, it will be:
v' = 4.2

So, option B is your answer!

Hope this helps!

Why is force not on a scalar quantity??
snow_lady [41]
Because force always has a direction, it always works towards or against something.


you might know that force,
is rate of change of momentum i.e

force = m (v-u)/t
= (mv - mu )/ t


as we know momentum is a vector quantity so, the rate of change of momentum i.e Force would also be a vector quantity.




momentum = mass × velocity

velocity has a direction so,
momentum has also got a direction.
so, momentum is also a vector quantity.
