As part of your daily workout, you lie on your back and push with your feet against a platform attached to two stiff ideal sprin
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

The magnitude of force must you apply to hold the platform in this position = 888.89 N

Explanation:

Given that :

Workdone (W) = 80.0 J

length x = 0.180 m

The equation  for this  work done by the spring is expressed as:

W = \frac{1}{2}k_{eq}x^2

Making the spring constant k_{eq} the subject of the formula; we have:

k_{eq} = \frac{2W}{x^2}

Substituting our given values, we have:

k_{eq} = \frac{2*80}{0.180^2}

k_{eq} = 4938.27 \ N.m^{-1}

The magnitude of the force that must be apply  to the hold platform in this position is given by the formula :

F = k_{eq}x

F = 4938.27*0.180

F = 888.89 N

What is the motional kinetic energy of a 25 kg object moving at a speed of 10 m/s?
Soloha48 [4]

1250kgm²/s is the motional kinetic energy of a 25kg object moving at a speed of 10m/s

Kinetic energy of an object is defined as the energy which is possessed when that is  in motion. It is the energy of the kinetic mass of an object. Kinetic energy is never negative and is a scalar quantity. That is, it shows only size, not orientation.

Given to us

Mass of the object, m=25kg

Velocity of the object, v=10m/s  

K.E=1/2x25x10²

 =1250

Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass and velocity squared (K.E.) of an object. =1/2xMxV². If the mass is in kilograms and the velocity is in meters/second, then the kinetic energy is in kilograms - meters squared/second.

Which statement is true regarding a distance vs. time graph? (1 point)
Nadusha1986 [10]

The statement that is true regarding a distance vs. time graph is option A: The graph should show distance on the vertical axis.

<h3>Where is the plot of distance?</h3>

How far an object has come in a certain amount of time is displayed on a distance-time graph. Time is represented on the X-axis and Distance is plotted on the Y-axis (left) (bottom).

On a distance-time graph, an object's motion is indicated by a sloping line. The slope or gradient of the line in a distance-time graph is equal to the object's speed. The object is travelling more quickly the steeper the line is (and the bigger the gradient).

Note that the distance-time graph shows the relationship between distance and time by plotting distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
