Answer: The spring constant for the supermarket scale is 400 N/m.

Explanation:

To calculate the spring constant, we use Hooke's Law. The formula for Hooke's law is:

$F=kx$

where, F = Force applied on the spring = 4N

k = Spring constant = ? N/m

x = Compression or extension of the spring = 0.01m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$400N=k\times 0.01m\\\\k=400N/m$

Hence, the spring constant for the supermarket scale is 400 N/m.

14.A 90 kg quarterback gets tackled by being hit by a 120 kg lineman backwards

quester [9]

The acceleration of the quarterback and the lineman is 5.55m/s² and 4.16m/s² respectively in the same direction.

As, we know, the 120 Kg lineman is moving with a force of 500N.

His net acceleration will be in the same direction as his motion.

It is already known that, If M is the mass of the body and a is the acceleration of the body, then the force F on the body can be calculated by using the formula,

F = Ma.

The weight of the quarterback is 90 Kg. He is being hit by a force of 500N.

So, the acceleration can be calculated using the formula,

500N = 90kg x a

a = 5.55 m/s².

Now, the weight if the lineman is 120kg, the force applied by him is 500N.

So, from the formula, his acceleration A will be,

500N = 120Kg x A

A = 4.16 m/s².

both of them will have acceleration in the same direction,

Microwave ovens emit microwave energy with a wavelength of 12.2 cm. What is the energy of exactly one photon of this microwave r

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

$1.63\cdot 10^{-24} J$

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is given by:

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where

h is the Planck constant

c is the speed of light

$\lambda$ is the wavelength of the photon

In this problem, we have a microwave photon with wavelength

$\lambda=12.2 cm=0.122 m$

Substituting into the equation, we find its energy:

$E=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{0.122 m}=1.63\cdot 10^{-24} J$

about how much more energy is released in a 6.5 richter magnitude earthquake than in one with magnitude 5.5?

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

For example, an earthquake of magnitude 5.5 releases about 32 times as much energy as an earthquake measuring 4.5. Another way to look at this is that it takes about 900 magnitude 4.5 earthquakes to equal the energy released in a single 6.5 earthquake.

Two cars having different weights are traveling on a level surface at different constant velocities. Within the same time interv

GuDViN [60]

I think you're saying that once you start pushing on the cars, you want to be able to stop each one in the same time.

This is sneaky. At first, I thought it must be both 'c' and 'd'. But it's not
kinetic energy, for reasons I'm not ambitious enough to go into.
(And besides, there's no great honor awarded around here for explaining
why any given choice is NOT the answer.)

The answer is momentum.

Momentum is (mass x speed). Change in momentum is (force x time).

No matter the weight (mass) or speed of the car, the one with the greater
momentum is always the one that will require the greater (force x time)
to stop it. If the time is the same for any car, then more momentum
will always require more force.
