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.

How are newtons third law of motion applies to a system of objects
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

Newton's third law of motion states that whenever a first object exerts a force on a second object, the first object experiences a force equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force that it exerts. ... Newton's third law is useful for figuring out which forces are external to a system.

A smooth circular hoop with a radius of 0.800 m is placed flat on the floor. A 0.300-kg particle slides around the inside edge o
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

a)11.25 J

b)Number of revolution = 1

Explanation:

Given that

Radius ,r= 0.8 m

m= 0.3 kg

Initial speed ,u= 10 m/s

final speed ,v= 5 m/s

a)

Initial energy

KE_i=\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2

KE_i=\dfrac{1}{2}0.3\times 10^2

KEi= 15 J

Final kinetic energy

KE_f=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

KE_f=\dfrac{1}{2}0.3\times 5^2

KEf=3.75 J

The  energy transformed from mechanical to internal = 15 - 3.75 J = 11.25 J

b)

The minimum value to complete the circular arc

 V=\sqrt{r.g}

Now by putting the values

V=\sqrt{0.8\times 10}

V= 2.82 m/s

So kinetic energy KE

KE=\dfrac{1}{2}mV^2

KE=\dfrac{1}{2}0.3\times 2.82^2

KE=1.19 J

ΔKE= KEi - KE

ΔKE= 15- 1.19 J

ΔKE=13.80 J

The minimum energy required to complete 2 revolutions = 2 x 11.25 J

                                                                                                    = 22.5 J

Here 22.5 J is greater than 13.8 J.So the particle will complete only one revolution.

Number of revolution = 1
