The elastic potential energy stored in the car's spring during the process is 3.75 J

<h3>Determination of the spring constant</h3>

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

  • Force (F) = 15 N
  • Extention (e) = 0.5 m
  • Spring constant (K) =?

K = F/e

K = 15 / 0.5

K = 30 N/m

<h3>Determination of the potential energy</h3>
  • Spring constant (K) = 30 N/m
  • Extention (e) = 0.5 m
  • Potential energy (PE) =?

PE = ½Ke²

PE = ½ × 30 × 0.5²

PE = 15 × 0.25

PE = 3.75 J

Therefore, the elastic potential energy stored in the car's spring during the process is 3.75 J

Using these words explain how matter and energy interact when waves are generated. Disturbance _________________________________
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Waves are disturbance of the space (or of a medium) that consist of periodic oscillations that carry energy without  carrying matter.

Waves can be of two types:

- Mechanical waves: they are transmitted through the oscillations of the particles in a medium

- Electromagnetic waves: they are oscillations of the electric and magnetic fields. These are the only waves that  can travel in a vacuum

Waves consist of periodic vibrations of the particles in a medium that can oscillate in two directions:

- Back and forth along the direction of motion of the wave --> these waves are called longitudinal waves

- Up and down, so perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave --> these waves are called transverse waves

Waves always propagate from a precise point in space, called source of the wave. So, waves are generated by this source, that somehow does work on the particles of the surrounding medium, and therefore producing the oscillation that then is transmitted through all the space around the source.

What is the temperature if the peak of a blackbody spectrum is at 18-nm?
finlep [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to Wein's displacement law

\lambda_{max} T = b

Where b = 2.898 x 10⁻³ m K

Given ,

\lambda{max} = 18\times10^{-9}

T = 161 X 10³ K.

A man in a gym is holding an 8.0-kg weight at arm's length, a distance of 0.55 m from his shoulder joint. What is the torque abo
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

  \tau =37.34\ N m

Explanation:

given,

mass of the weight = 8 Kg

distance = 0.55 m

angle below horizontal = 30°

torque about shoulder

  \tau = \vec{r} \times \vec{F}

  \tau = r \times F cos \theta

  \tau = 0.55 \times 8 \times 9.8 \times cos 30^0

  \tau =37.34\ N m

torque about his shoulder join is equal to   \tau =37.34\ N m

A tray is moved horizontally back and forth in simple harmonic motion at a frequency of f = 2.07 Hz. On this tray is an empty cu
Anettt [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Frequency of SHM is f=2.07\ Hz

Amplitude of SHM is A=3.13\ cm

Cup begins to slip when it overcomes the friction force

Friction force F_s=\mu mg

Applied force F=ma

ma=\mu mg

a=\mu g

and maximum acceleration during SHM is

a=A\omega ^2

a=A(2\pi f)^2

a=3.13\times 10^{-2}\times (2\pi 2.07)^2

a=5.296\ m/s^2

\mu =\frac{a}{g}

\mu =\frac{5.296}{9.8}=0.54
