Can you give some examples for potential energy?
An example is sand on a beach stores the energy from the sun in it. A stretched spring has stored potential energy that is released when the spring is returned to its unstretched state.
Is a normal fault formed by extension compression or shearing?
A normal fault is formed by extension. This type of fault occurs when tectonic forces pull two blocks of the Earth's crust apart, causing one block to drop relative to the other. This extension is typically associated with divergent plate boundaries, where the crust is being stretched.
What is the reaction of spring?
The reaction of a spring is to exert a force opposite to the direction it is compressed or stretched. This is known as Hooke's Law, which states that the force exerted by a spring is proportional to the displacement from its equilibrium position. In other words, when you compress or stretch a spring, it pushes or pulls back with a force that tries to return it to its original position.
What type of faults accomadate extension of the Earth's crust?
Normal faults accommodate extension of Earth's crust through the hanging wall moving downward relative to the footwall. The hanging wall is pulled down due to tensional forces, resulting in the crust being stretched and thinned.
Term for iliopsoas during hip extension?
The iliopsoas muscle is stretched during hip extension. This muscle group is made up of the psoas major, psoas minor, and iliacus muscles. Stretching the iliopsoas can help improve hip flexibility and relieve hip tightness or discomfort.
How do you work out the extension of a spring?
The amount the spring is stretched is called the displacement.
When an extension spring stores the most elastic energy when it is in which position?
An extension spring stores the most elastic energy when it is in its stretched position right before reaching its maximum extension. At this point, the spring is under the highest tension, which results in the maximum potential energy being stored in the form of elastic deformation.
What form of energy is stored on a stretched spring?
Elastic potential energy is stored in a stretched spring. When the spring is compressed or stretched, it gains potential energy that can be released when the spring returns to its original shape.
Why when both side of the spring is stretched with equal amount of force the extension only depends on one of the force applied at one end?
Because the tension applied to the spring is distributed evenly along its whole length.
State a difference and similarity between an extension spring and a compression spring balance?
Difference: Extension springs expand when a force is applied, while compression springs compress when a force is applied. Similarity: Both extension and compression springs store potential energy when they are stretched or compressed, and release this energy when the force is removed.
What happens when a spring stretched beyond limit?
When a spring is stretched beyond its limit, it reaches a point where it can no longer return to its original shape. This is known as the spring's elastic limit. If the spring is stretched beyond this limit, it will permanently deform or even break.
How do you calculate extension of a spring with mass attached to it?
To calculate the extension of a spring with mass attached to it, you can use Hooke's Law, which states that the force exerted by the spring is directly proportional to the extension of the spring. The formula is F = kx, where F is the force applied, k is the spring constant, and x is the extension of the spring. By rearranging the formula, you can calculate the extension x = F / k.
What is the work done by a spring when it is compressed or stretched?
The work done by a spring when it is compressed or stretched is the energy stored in the spring due to the deformation. This energy is potential energy that can be released when the spring returns to its original shape.
What are the 2 forces involved in a stretched spring?
The two forces involved in a stretched spring are the restoring force, which acts to bring the spring back to its equilibrium position, and the applied force, which is the external force that stretches the spring.
What happens to a spring when it is stretched?
When a spring is stretched, the atoms within the spring rearrange themselves to accommodate the added force. This results in an increase in potential energy stored within the spring due to the stretching. The spring exerts an equal and opposite force in an attempt to return to its natural position, causing it to behave like a restoring force when stretched.
What is the relationship between the extension of the spring and the weight hung on it?
when the extension of the spring increases the weight hung on it also increases
What goes back to its original shape after being streched and is used in force meters?
That would be a spring, which is stretched when you apply force to it. The spring used have a specific force constant, which means that an extension of the spring to a certain length is equal to a fixed amount of force.
