Answer:
0.102 m
Explanation:
k = spring constant of the spring = 125 N/m
m = mass of the block attached to the spring = 650 g = 0.650 kg
x = maximum extension of the spring
h = height dropped by the block = x
Using conservation of energy
Spring potential energy gained = Gravitational potential energy lost
(0.5) k x² = mgh
(0.5) k x² = mgx
(0.5) (125) x = (0.650) (9.8)
x = 0.102 m
Answer:
Increasing the mass and decreasing the distance between the two objects.
Explanation:
An increase in mass will cause them to have a stronger pull or gravity. A decrease of distance will make it easier for the objects to fall into each other because they would be further into the other objects area of influence.
Kinetic energy. thermal energy (a low form of energy ) is a form of kinetic energy as it is produced as a result of motion of particles either if they vibrate at their position or they move along longer paths. Motion produces friction or resistance which leads to excitation and thus the heat is produced. The higher the motion of the particles, the higher would be the thermal energy.
Potential energy = (weight) x (height)
After the car has been raised 2.5 meters, it has
(11,000) x (2.5) = 27,500 Joules
MORE potential energy than it had before it was lifted.
That's the energy that has to come from the work you do to lift it.
Since no mechanical process is ever 100% efficient, the work required
to accomplish this task is <em>at least 27,500 joules</em>.
The outside observer, at rest relative to the spaceship, would see the spaceship
get shorter. and the clocks on the spaceship run slower than they should.
At the same time, the crew of the spaceship, looking back at the observer on
Earth, would see the observer on Earth get shorter, and the observer's clock
run slower than it should.
They would both be measuring what they see correctly.
