Answer:

if you stretch a spring with k = 2, with a force of 4N, the extension will be 2m. the work done by us here is 4x2=8J. in other words, the energy transferred to the spring is 8J. but, the stored energy in the spring equals 1/2x2x2^2=4J (which is half of the work done by us in stretching it).

Your GPS shows that your friend’s house is 10.0 km away. But there is a big hill between your houses and you don’t want to bike

kati45 [8]

Answer:

The value is $c = 8 \ km$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance of friends house from your point is $a = 10 \ km$

The distance of your friends street from your street is $b = 6 \ km \ in the \ direction \ towards \ the \ north$

The diagram illustrating this question is shown on the first uploaded image

From the diagram we can apply by Pythagoras theorem as follows

$a^2 = b^2 + c^2$

=> $c = \sqrt{^2 - b^2}$

=> $c = \sqrt{ 10^2 - 6^2}$

=> $c = 8 \ km$

3 light-years =________.

KATRIN_1 [288]

   ( 3 yr) · (186,282.397 mile/s) · (86,400 s/day) · (365 day/yr)

   = (3 · 186,282.397 · 86,400 · 365) mile

   = 1.762380502 x 10¹³ miles

   = 1.8 x 10¹³ miles (rounded to the nearest trillion miles)

A student weighing 120 lbs climbs a 12 ft flight of stairs in 9 seconds. how much power did the student create?

Alex Ar [27]

Power can be calculate through the equation,
Power = Force x velocity

It should be noted that velocity is calculated by dividing displacement by time. Thus, from the given in this item we can calculate for the power.
Power = (120 lb) x (12 ft/9 s)
<em> </em><span><em>Power = 160 lb.ft/s</em></span>

What is the momentum of a 5 kg object that has a velocity of 1. 2 m/s? 3. 8 kg â€˘ m/s 4. 2 kg â€˘ m/s 6. 0 kg â€˘ m/s 6. 2 kg â

nevsk [136]

The momentum of a 5kg object that has a velocity of 1.2m/s is 6.0kgm/s.

<h3> MOMENTUM:</h3>

Momentum of a substance is the product of its mass and velocity. That is;

Momentum (p) = mass (m) × velocity (v)

According to this question, an object has a mass of 5kg and velocity of 1.2m/s. The momentum is calculated thus:

Momentum = 5kg × 1.2m/s

Momentum = 6kgm/s.

Therefore, the momentum of a 5kg object that has a velocity of 1.2m/s is 6.0kgm/s.
