Answer:
a) When its length is 23 cm, the elastic potential energy of the spring is
0.18 J
b) When the stretched length doubles, the potential energy increases by a factor of four to 0.72 J
Explanation:
Hi there!
a) The elastic potential energy (EPE) is calculated using the following equation:
EPE = 1/2 · k · x²
Where:
k = spring constant.
x = stretched lenght.
Let´s calculate the elastic potential energy of the spring when it is stretched 3 cm (0.03 m).
First, let´s convert the spring constant units into N/m:
4 N/cm · 100 cm/m = 400 N/m
EPE = 1/2 · 400 N/m · (0.03 m)²
EPE = 0.18 J
When its length is 23 cm, the elastic potential energy of the spring is 0.18 J
b) Now let´s calculate the elastic potential energy when the spring is stretched 0.06 m:
EPE = 1/2 · 400 N/m · (0.06 m)²
EPE = 0.72 J
When the stretched length doubles, the potential energy increases by a factor of four to 0.72 J
Answer:
They are able to balance torques due to gravity.

Explanation:
When two friends of different masses will balance themselves on see saw then at equilibrium position the see saw will remain horizontal
This condition will be torque equilibrium position where the see saw will not rotate
Here we can say

here we know that force is due to weight of two friends
and their positions are different with respect to the lever about which see saw is rotating
since both friends are of different weight so they will balance themselves are different positions as per above equation
Answer:
The impact force will be same for both the cases.
Explanation:
The rate of change of momentum is known as the Impulse and is given by:

where
I = Impulse


Now,
In first case both the cars are identical and have same velocity and in the second case, the wall is stationary.
Also, in both the cases the car does not bounces off the things it hit.
Thus

Thus
Impact force, 
Therefore, impact force is same for both the cases.
When an airplane is flying straight and level at a constant speed, the lift it produces balances its weight, and the thrust it produces balances its drag. However, this balance of forces changes as the airplane rises and descends, as it speeds up and slows down, and as it turns.
