Answer:
Δx = 1.2 m
Explanation:
The CHANGE of spring length) (Δx) can be found using PS = ½kΔx²
Δx = √(2PS/k) = √(2(450)/650) = 1.17669... ≈ 1.2 m
The actual length of the spring is unknown as it varies with material type, construction method, extension or compression, and other variables we have no clue about.
Divide 14 by 6 and there is your answer with the unit of m
Answer:
0.2 J
Explanation:
The pendulum forms a right triangle, with hypotenuse of 50 cm and base of 30 cm. The height of this triangle can be found with Pythagorean theorem:
c² = a² + b²
(50 cm)² = a² + (30 cm)²
a = 40 cm
The height of the triangle is 40 cm. The height of the pendulum when it is at the bottom is 50 cm. So the end of the pendulum is lifted by 10 cm. Assuming the mass is concentrated at the end of the pendulum, the potential energy is:
PE = mgh
PE = (0.200 kg) (9.8 N/kg) (0.10 m)
PE = 0.196 J
Rounding to one significant figure, the potential energy is 0.2 J.
Answer:
Gravity is an attractive force as well as electromagnetic, but electromagnetic attracts and repels.

Answer:
mowing a lawn
Explanation:
Entropy is the degree of disorderliness of a system. As a body moves from a more ordered state to a less ordered one, the entropy of the system increases.
- Mowing a lawn is a typical example of increasing entropy.
- When a lawn is being mowed, the grasses becomes disordered without any fixed orientation.
- Folding a clothe is trying to bring orderliness to the clothe patterning.
- Washing dishes will make one arrange them in an ordered way.
- Falling leaves brings leaves together.
