The viscid silk produced by the European garden spider (Araneus diadematus) has a resilience of 0.35. If 10.0 J of work are done on the silk to stretch it out, how many Joules of work are released as thermal energy as it relaxes?

The energy released as thermal energy is 6.5 J

Explanation:

Energy stored by the spider when it relaxes is given by:

We are given:

Resilience = 0.35

Work done = 10.0 J

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Energy released at thermal energy is the difference between the work done and the energy it takes to relaxes, which is given by the equation:

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the energy released as thermal energy is 6.5 J

c. 7/3

step-by-step explanation:

a rational number is like pi- it is a repeating decimal.

a. is -1.8

b. 2.236068

c. 2.3333333333333333333

d.   is 3

i hope that ! =)
