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.

One’s behavior cannot be affected by one’s subconscious
igomit [66]

That statement is false

Our subconscious tend to give a strong influence to our behaviours even if we are not feeling it directly.

For example, let's say that there is a boy that hurt by cats and it's ingrained in his head that cats possess high level of danger to him. Even after that boy grow up, his subsconcious would most likely cause a certain level of paranoia that make him either scared of cats or simply annoyed by seeing them.

A moving van travels 10km North, then 4 km east, drops off some furniture and then drives 8 km south. (a) Sketch the path of the
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

4.47 km

Explanation:

If we draw the path of the van then we get a shape with two exposed points A and D. If we draw a line from point D perpendicular to BA we get point E. This gives us a right angled triangle ADE.

From Pythagoras theorem

AD² = AE² + ED²

AD=\sqrt{AE^2+ED^2}\\\Rightarrow AD=\sqrt{2^2+4^2}\\\Rightarrow AD=\sqrt{20}\\\Rightarrow AD=4.47\ km

Hence, the van is 4.47 km from its initial point

maria [59]

Answer:

995.12 N/C

Explanation:

R = 9 cm = 0.09 m

σ = 9 nC/m^2 = 9 x 10^-9 C/m^2

r = 9.1 cm = 0.091 m

q = σ x 4π R² = 9 x 10^-9 x 4 x 3.14 x 0.09 x 0.09 = 9.156 x 10^-10 C

E = kq / r^2

E = ( 9 x 10^9 x 9.156 x 10^-10) / (0.091 x 0.091)

E = 995.12 N/C
