Answer: Approximately 22 cm

=========================================================

Explanation:

The unstretched spring is 12.0 cm long. When adding a load of 5.0 N, it stretches to 15.0 cm. This is a displacement of 15.0 - 12.0 = 3.0 cm, which is the amount the spring is stretched.

Convert this displacement to meters (so that it fits with the meters unit buried in Newtons).

3.0 cm = (3.0)/100 = 0.03 m

Apply Hooke's Law to find the spring constant k

F = -kx

5.0 = -k*(0.03)

k = -(5.0)/(0.03)

k = -166.667 approximately

Now we must find the displacement x when F = 15 newtons

F = -kx

-kx = F

x = F/(-k)

x = -F/k

x = -15/(-166.667)

x = 0.089 approximately

x = 0.1

The displacement to one decimal place is about 0.1 meters, which converts to 100*0.1 = 10 cm

So the spring will be stretched to about 12cm+10cm = 22 cm

What will be the ME of a machine that produces a 240 N work with a 300
Elden [556K]

Answer:

Efficiency = 80%

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Work output = 240 N

Work Input = 300 N

To find the mechanical efficiency of a machine;

Efficiency = \frac {Out-put \; work}{In-put \; work} * 100

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Efficiency = \frac {240}{300} * 100

Efficiency = 0.8 * 100

Efficiency = 80%

Therefore, the mechanical efficiency of the machine is 80 percent.

State the law of conservation of energy​
storchak [24]

Answer:

In physics and chemistry, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; it is said to be conserved over time. ... For instance, chemical energy is converted to kinetic energy when a stick of dynamite explodes.
