A spring is an object that can be deformed by a force and then return to its original shape after the force is removed.
Springs come in a huge variety of different forms, but the simple metal coil spring is probably the most familiar. Springs are an essential part of almost all moderately complex mechanical devices; from ball-point pens to racing car engines.
There is nothing particularly magical about the shape of a coil spring that makes it behave like a spring. The 'springiness', or more correctly, the elasticity is a fundamental property of the wire that the spring is made from. A long straight metal wire also has the ability to ‘spring back’ following a stretching or twisting action. Winding the wire into a spring just allows us to exploit the properties of a long piece of wire in a small space. This is much more convenient for building mechanical devices.
Answer:
Subtract the kinetic energy at the bottom from the potential energy loss. The remainder becomes frictional heat.
Potential energy loss:
M g H = 21.7*9.81*3.5 = 745.1 J
Kinetic energy at bottom of slide:
= (1/2) M v^2 = 52.5 J
Answer: B. store electric charges.
Explanation: I JUST TOOK THE PF EXAM AND I GOT IT CORRECT!!!!
Answer:
Elements are arranged in the table by increasing atomic number.
Explanation:
In the modern periodic table, each element is represented by its chemical symbol. The number above each symbol is its atomic number.
