The graph below shows the force required to stretch a spring various distances. review the graph below.

a graph of force versus elongation. elongation (m) is on the x axis and force (n) is on the y axis. a straight line passes through the points 0 comma 0 and 10 comma 15.

what is the best approximate value for the elastic potential energy (epe) of the spring elongated by 7.0 meters?

1.5 j
11 j
37 j
74 j

Explanation:

Elastic Potential Energy

It's the term that expresses the amount of work an object can do due to its deformation. It's commonly applied to springs where the compression distance or elongation (x) is related to the Force (F) needed to stretch it. It can be found as

Where k is the spring constant.

In this problem, we don't know the value of k, but it can be determined with the data provided. Though there is not a graph as suggested in the question, we have two points in the form (x, F) to find k. The points are (0,0) (10 m,15 N). Applying the Hooke's law

we can find the value of k as the slope of the line:

Now we compute the EPE when x=7 m

The best approximate value is the third option:

waves moving from a fast medium to a slow medium will experience a reflection as light travels more slowly than red light. total internal reflection occurs when the critical angle is.

the closer the planet is to the sun, the larger the gravity
