A spring with k = 136 N/m is compressed by 12.5 cm. How much elastic potential energy does the

Lorico [155]3 years ago

As we know,

  • \boxed{ \boxed{potential \:  \: energy =  \dfrac{1}{2} k {x}^{2} }}

where,

  • k = 136 N/m

  • x = 12.5 cm = 0.125 m

now, let's solve to find potential energy :

  • p =  \dfrac{1}{2}  \times 136 \times 0.125 \times 0.125

  • p =    \dfrac{68 \times 125 \times 125} {1000 \times 1000}

  • 1.0625 \:  \:  \: joules

Neurons that deliver sensory information from sensory receptors to the spinal cord are called __________.
morpeh [17]

Answer:

First Order Neurons

Explanation:

First Order Neurons

The main function of First Order Neurons is to deliver sensory information from sensory receptors to the spinal cord.

In Actual there are three orders of neurons, the first order neuron carry signals from periphery to the spinal chord, the second order neuron carry signal from from spinal chord to the thalamus. And the third order neurons carry signals to the primary sensory cortex.

A starship blasts past the earth at 2.0*10^8 m/s .Just after passing the earth, the starship fires a laser beam out its back of
Vilka [71]

Answer:

at the speed of light (c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s)

Explanation:

The second postulate of the theory of the special relativity from Einstein states that:

"The speed of light in free space has the same value c in all inertial frames of reference, where c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s"

This means that it doesn't matter if the observer is moving or not relative to the source of ligth: he will always observe light moving at the same speed, c.

In this problem, we have a starship emitting a laser beam (which is an electromagnetic wave, so it travels at the speed of light). The startship is moving relative to the Earth with a speed of 2.0*10^8 m/s: however, this is irrelevant for the exercise, because according to the postulate we mentioned above, an observer on Earth will observe the laser beam approaching Earth with a speed of c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s.

The noise from a power mower was measured at 106 dB. The noise level at a rock concert was measured at 115 dB. Find the ratio of
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

= 8

Explanation:

noise from power mower = 106 dB

noise from rock concert = 115 dB

we would be applying the formula for the decibel level of sound to get the intensities.

(B) = 10 log \frac{I}{I₀}

I = intensity of sound

I₀= reference intensity = 10^{-12} W/m^{2}

  • intensity of the power mower

106 = 10 log \frac{I}{10^{-12}}

10.6 =  log \frac{I}{10^{-12}}

10^{10.6} = \frac{I}{10^{-12}}

I = 10^{10.6} x 10^{-12}

I of power mower = 0.0398 W/m^{2}

  • intensity of the rock music

115 = 10 log \frac{I}{10^{-12}}

11.5 =  log \frac{I}{10^{-12}}

10^{11.5} = \frac{I}{10^{-12}}

I = 10^{11.5}  x 10^{-12}

I of rock music = 0.316 W/m^{2}

now the ratio of the intensity of the rock music to the power mower

= \frac{0.316}{0.0398}

= 8
