Answer:
For a given spring the extension is directly proportional to the force applied For example if the force is doubled, the extension doubles When an elastic object is stretched beyond its limit of proportionality the object does not return to its original length when the force is removed

Answer:
Astronomers have divided the eight planets of our solar system into the inner planets and the outer planets. The 4 inner planets are the closest to the Sun, and the outer planets are the other four – Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The outer planets are also called the Jovian planets or gas giants.
Explanation:
The capacitance of a capacitor is the ratio of the stored charge to its potential difference, i.e.
C = Q/ΔV
C is the capacitance
Q is the stored charge
ΔV is the potential difference
Rearrange the equation:
ΔV = Q/C
We also know the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by:
C = κε₀A/d
C is the capacitance
κ is the capacitor's dielectric constant
ε₀ is the electric constant
A is the area of the plates
d is the plate separation
If we substitute C:
ΔV = Qd/(κε₀A)
We assume the stored charge and the area of the plates don't change. Then if we double the plate spacing, i.e. we double the value of d, then the potential difference ΔV is also doubled.
Answer:
4
Explanation:
In order for the current to continue flowing through the circuit (and for the bulbs to continue shining), there must be a closed path containing the battery where current can flow. Let's see the effect of removing each bulb on the circuit:
- 1: when removing bulb 1 only, the current can still flow through the path battery-bulb 3- bulb 4
- 2: when removing bulb 2 only, the current can still flow through the path battery-bulb 3- bulb 4
- 3: when removing bulb 3 only, the current can still flow through the path battery-bulb 1-bulb 2- bulb 4
- 4: when removing bulb 4 only, the current can no longer flow. In fact, there is no closed path that contains the battery now, so the current will not flow and all the bulbs will stop shining.
Answer:
(a) 
(b) 
(c) K.E. = 21.168 J
(d) 
Explanation:
Given:
- mass of a block, M = 3.6 kg
- initial velocity of the block,
- constant downward acceleration,
That a constant upward acceleration of 
is applied in the presence of gravity.
∴
- height through which the block falls, d = 4.2 m
(a)
Force by the cord on the block,
∴Work by the cord on the block,
We take -ve sign because the direction of force and the displacement are opposite to each other.
(b)
Force on the block due to gravity:
∵the gravity is naturally a constant and we cannot change it
∴Work by the gravity on the block,
(c)
Kinetic energy of the block will be equal to the net work done i.e. sum of the two works.
mathematically:
K.E. = 21.168 J
(d)
From the equation of motion:
putting the respective values:
is the speed when the block has fallen 4.2 meters.
