Answer:

37.5N

Explanation:

According to Hooke's law, the load or force, F, applied on an elastic material (e.g a spring) is directly proportional to the extension or compression, e, caused by the load. i.e

F ∝ e

F = k x e         -------------------------(i)

where;

k = proportionality constant known as the spring constant.

From the question;

k = 750N/m

e = 5.0cm = 0.05m

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

F = 750 x 0.05

F = 37.5N

Therefore, the load applied which is a measure of how hard the athlete is pushing is 37.5N

Answer:

37.5 N Hard

Explanation:

Hook's law: The force applied to an elastic material is directly proportional to the extension provided the elastic limit of the material is not exceeded.

Using the expression for hook's law,

F = ke.............. Equation 1

F = Force of the athlete, k = force constant of the spring, e = extension/compression of the spring.

Given: k = 750 N/m, e = 5.0 cm = 0.05 m

Substitute into equation 1

F = 750(0.05)

F = 37.5 N

Hence the athlete is pushing 37.5 N hard

A police car chases a speeder along a straight road towards a cliff both vehicles move at 160km/h the siren on the police car pr
natta225 [31]

Answer:

f ’= 97.0 Hz

Explanation:

This is an exercise of the doppler effect use the frequency change due to the relative movement of the fort and the observer

in this case the source is the police cases that go to vs = 160 km / h

and the observer is vo = 120 km / h

the relationship of the doppler effect is

          f ’= f₀ (v + v₀ / v- v_{s})

let's reduce the magnitude to the SI system

            v_{s} = 160 km / h (1000 m / 1km) (1h / 3600s) = 44.44 m / s

            v₀ = 120 km / h (1000m / 1km) (1h / 3600s) = 33.33 m / s

we substitute in the equation of the Doppler effect

          f ‘= 100 (330+ 33.33 / 330-44.44)

          f ’= 97.0 Hz

Calculate the number of electrons passing a point in the wire in 1 min when the current is 1 A
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Explanation:

When one coulomb charge passes through any cross section of the wire per second,the current passing is one ampere. Charge of electron ,e=1.6X10^-19C. n=1/(1.6X10^-19)=6.25X10^18.Sep 17, 2017

A container with rigid walls is filled with 4.0 mol of air with Cv=2.5R Then the temperature is increased from 17 degrees C to 3
galina1969 [7]

Explanation:

Internal energy = heat + work

U = Q + W

Since there's no change in volume (rigid walls), W = 0.

U = Q

U = n Cᵥ ΔT

U = (4.0 mol) (2.5 × 8.314 J/mol/K) (354 C − 17 C)

U = 28,000 J
