A leaf spring in an off-road truck with a spring constant k of 87.6 kN/m (87,600 N/m) is compressed a distance of 6.2 cm (0.062 m) from its original unstretched position. What is the increase in potential energy of the spring (in kJ)?

Calculate the kinetic energy of earth due to its spinning about its axis. krot = j compare your answer with the kinetic energy of the orbital motion of earth's center of mass about the sun. assume earth to be a homogeneous sphere of mass 6.00 1024 kg and radius 6.40 106 m. the radius of earth's orbit is 1.50 1011 m.

When does your body conduct current more readily?

Adiver named jacques observes a bubble of air rising from the bottom of a lake (where the absolute pressure is 3.50 atm) to the surface (where the pressure is 1.00 atm). the temperature at the bottom is 4.00 ∘c, and the temperature at the surface is 23.0 ∘c.what is the ratio of the volume of the bubble as it reaches the surface (vs) to its volume at the bottom (vb)? if jaques were to hold his breath the air in his lungs would be kept at a constant temperature. would it be safe for jacques to hold his breath while ascending from the bottom of the lake to the surface?
