A spring with a spring constant of 45 N/m is pulled 1.4 m away from its equilibrium position. How much potential energy is store

Luda [366]3 years ago

Elastic potential energy is given by:

E =\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

Where k is the spring constant in N/m and x is displacement from equilibrium position in m. Evaluating:

E =\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2 = \dfrac{1}{2}(45\;N/m)(1.4\;m)^2 = 44.1\;J

A/ The potential energy is stored in the spring is 44.1 J.

shusha [124]

Answer:

The work done by this force can be found via the following formula

W = \int{F(x)} \, dx = \int\limits^0_{-20} {(-kx)} \, dx = \frac{-kx^2}{2}\left \{ {{x=0} \atop {x=-20}} \right. = \frac{-60*(-20)^2}{2} \\W = -12000J

Explanation:

Alternatively, the work done by the object is equal to the elastic potantial energy done by the spring.

U = \frac{1}{2}kx_2^2 - \frac{1}{2}kx_1^2 =0 - \frac{1}{2}60(-20)^2 = -12000J

Two strong magnets were brought close to each other. They were repelling each other. Explain what must have happened.​
r-ruslan [8.4K]

When two magnets are brought together, the opposite poles will attract one another, but the like poles will repel one another. This is similar to electric charges. Like charges repel, and unlike charges attract.

What happens when a continental plate splits apart
Tatiana [17]
When plates pull apart underwater, the hot magma instantly rises and spreads itself to form a new ocean floor.Under a continent, the crust splits open to allow magma out. The magma might make its way slowly to the surface, creating warm areas and hot springs or geysers as surface water meets it.<span>Or the magma might explode, bringing into existence a new volcano where there was only cool earth before.</span>
