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.

A plane passes over Point A with a velocity of 8000 m/s north. Forty seconds later it passes over Point B at a velocity of 10,00
Airida [17]

Answer:

The planes’ acceleration from A to B is 500m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that the initial velocity u is 8000m/s

and also given the final velocity v=10,000 m/s

the time taken to move from A to B = 40 second

The acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with time

we know that the expression for acceleration is given as

a=(v-u)/t

substituting our given data into the expression for a we have

a=(10000-8000)/40

a=2000/40

a=500m/s^2

The planes’ acceleration from A to B is 500m/s^2

For a series circuit what is the terminal voltage of a battery or power supply equal to in terms of the potential difference or
trapecia [35]

Answer: V=IR

Explanation: for a series circuit connected to a battery supply, the total emf across the circuit is given as

E = I(R + r) and by expanding, we have that E =IR + It

Where r is the internal resistance of the battery

I is the total current flowing in the circuit

R total load resistance in the circuit.

E is the total emf of the circuit.

The total emf is the sum of 2 separate voltages.

"IR" which is the terminal voltage and "Ir" which is the loss voltage.

The teenila voltage is the voltage flowing in the circuit based on the equivalent resistance of the circuit while the loss voltage is the wasted voltage based on the internal resistance of the battery source.
