The work done in stretching the spring from 50 cm to 80 cm is 67.5 J.

<h3>Hooke's Law</h3>

Hooke's law states that the force applied to an elastic material is directly proportional to its extension, provided its elastic limit is not exceeded.

To calculate the amount of work done by Hooke's law, first, we need to find the force constant of the spring.

Formula:

  • F = ke................. Equation 1

Where:

  • F = Force applied
  • k = Spring constant
  • e = extension

make k the subject of the equation

  • k = F/e................ Equation 2

From the question,

Given:

  • F = 450 N
  • e = 30 cm = 0.3 m

Substitute these values into equation 2

  • k = 450/0.3
  • k = 1500 N/m.

Finally, To find the work done in stretching the spring from 50 cm to 80 cm, we use the formula below.

  • W = ke²/2........... Equation 3

Where:

  • W = Work done
  • k = spring constant
  • e = extension

Also, From the question,

Given:

  • e = (80-50) = 30 cm = 0.3 m
  • k = 1500 N/m

Substitute these values into equation 3

  • W = 1500(0.3²)/2
  • W = 67.5 J.

Hence, The work done in stretching the spring from 50 cm to 80 cm is 67.5 J.

If izzy mass is 0.3kg he applide 657.9n force what will be the accelration​
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

The acceleration of the body, a = 2193 m/s²

Explanation:

Given,

The mass of the body, m = 0.3 kg

The force acting on the body, F = 657.9 N

The force acting on an object is proportional to the product of mass and acceleration of the body.

                         F = m x a

Therefore, the acceleration of the body is

                           a = F / m

                              = 657.9 N / 0.3 kg

                              = 2193 m/s²

Hence, the acceleration of the body, a = 2193 m/s²

If the distance between the Earth and Moon were half what it is now, by what factor would the force of gravity between them be c
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

m_1 = Mass of Earth

m_2 = Mass of Moon

r = Distance between Earth and Moon

Old gravitational force

F_o=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

New gravitational force

F_n=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{(\dfrac{1}{2}r)^2}

Dividing the equations

\dfrac{F_n}{F_o}=\dfrac{\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{(\dfrac{1}{2}r)^2}}{\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{F_n}{F_o}=\dfrac{\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{\dfrac{1}{4}r^2}}{\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{F_n}{F_o}=4

The ratio is \dfrac{F_n}{F_o}=4

The new force would be 4 times the old force

Starting from rest, a particle that is confined to move along a straight line is accelerated at a rate of 5.0 m/s2. Which one of
Elanso [62]

Answer:

c) The slope is not constant and increases with increasing time.

Explanation:

The equation for the position of this particle (starting from rest is)

s = at^2/2 = 5t^2/2 = 2.5t^2

We can take derivative of this with respect to time t to get the equation of slope:

s' = (2.5t^2)' = 2*2.5t = 5t

As time t increase, the slope would increases with time as well.

Gerry is looking at salt under a powerful microscope and notice a crystalline structure.what can be known about the salt sample
Natali [406]

Well, if the salt that Gerry's looking at under a powerful microscope has a crystalline structure, then that's saying that salt is technically a solid.

(I hope that this is an answer you were looking for)
