  • Force=117.6N
  • Mass=12kg

using newtons law

\\ \sf\longmapsto Force=Mass\times Acceleration

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{Force}{Mass}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{117.6}{12}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=9.8m/s^2

Explanation:

Solution,

Given:-

Mass=12 kg

Weight=117.6 N

Now,

Acceleration due to gravity=Weight/Mass

=117.6/12

=9.8 m/s²

A spring with spring-constant of 100 n/m is compressed 0.10 m. what is its maximum stored elastic potential energy
Ganezh [65]

Elastic potential energy stored in a spring is

(1/2) · (spring constant) · (stretch or compress)² .

PE = (1/2) · (100 N/m) · (0.1 m)²

PE = (50 N/m) · (0.01 m²)

PE = (50 · 0.01) (N · m / m²)

PE = 0.5 N · m

PE = 0.5 Joule

A girl and a boy are riding on a merry go round that is turning at a constant rate. The girl is near the outer edge, and the boy
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The girl has greater tangential acceleration

Explanation:

The angular acceleration (\alpha) of the merry go round is equal to the rate of the change of the angular velocity, \omega:

\alpha = \frac{d\omega}{dt}

Since all the points of the merry go round complete 1 circle in the same time, the angular velocity of each point of the merry go round is the same, and so all the points also have the same angular acceleration.

The tangential acceleration instead is given by

a_t = \alpha r

where

\alpha is the angular acceleration

r is the distance from the centre of the merry go round

Since the girl is near the outer edge and the boy is closer to the centre, the value of r for the girl is larger than for the boy, so the girl has greater tangential acceleration.

Compare and contrast the general characteristics of a gas giant planet and one of the inner planets (such as Mercury, Earth, Ven
yKpoI14uk [10]
The gas planets usually have extremely high gravitational pulls, the surface isn't solid (since its a gas planet), and gas planets are larger than the inner planets. 
<span>Similarities- These planets all have moons and they both revolve around the sun (obviously).


Hope this helps.</span>

Answer:

Potential energy of spring = 24 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Spring constant = 85N/m

Extension, e = 0.75m

Mass = 25kg

To find the potential energy of a spring

Potential energy of a spring is given by the formula;

P.E = ½ke²

Substituting into the equation, we have

P.E = ½*85*0.75²

P.E = 42.5 * 0.5625

P.E = 23.91 ≈ 24 Joules

P.E = 24 Joules
