From the given information in the question, the correct option is Option 1: 14 cm.

A non-stretched elastic spring has a conserved potential energy which gives it the ability to perform work. The elastic potential energy can be expressed as:

PE = \frac{1}{2} k x^{2}

Where PE is the energy, k is the spring constant and x is extension.

i. Given that: PE = 10 J and x = 10 cm, then;

PE = \frac{1}{2} k x^{2}

10 = \frac{1}{2} k 10^{2}

20 = 100k

k = 0.2 J/cm

ii. To determine how far the spring is needed to be stretched, given that PE = 20 J.

PE = \frac{1}{2} k x^{2}

20 = \frac{1}{2} (0.2) x^{2}

40 = 0.2 x^{2}

x^{2} = 200

x = \sqrt{200}

  = 14.1421

x = 14.14 cm

So that;

x is approximately 14.00 cm.

Thus, the spring need to be stretched to 14.00 cm to give the spring 20 J of elastic potential energy.

Decay of Schizomycetes waste present in waste water leads to unpleasant smell.

These microorganisms, known as iron and sulfur bacteria, cause hydrogen sulfide to be found in water supplies. They include crenothrix and beggiatoa. Most often found in groundwater supplies, they produce an offensive odor of decaying matter. (I'm not sure)

A time-varying horizontal force F(t) = At4 + Bt2 acts for 0.500 s on a 12.25-kg object, starting attime t = 1.00 s. In the SI sy
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

3.82 Ns

Explanation:

Time varying horizontal Force is given as

F(t) = A t⁴ + B t²

F(t) = 4.50 t⁴ + 8.75 t²

Impulse imparted is given as

I = \int_{0}^{t}Fdt

I = \int_{0}^{1}Fdt

I = \int_{0}^{1}(4.50 t^{4} + 8.75 t^{2})dt

I = ((0.9) (1)^{5} + (2.92) (1)^{3})

I = 3.82 N-s

When a person steps forward out of a small boat onto a dock, the boat recoils backward in the water. why does this occur??
bixtya [17]
Here is the correct answer of the given question above. When a person steps forward out of a small boat onto a dock, the boat recoils backward in the water and this occurs because the total momentum of the system is conserved. Hope this helps.
