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

John and mary are skating at an ice rink. john skates at a constant speed of 6.7 m/s, with respect to the ice surface, directly
iragen [17]
60.3° from due south and 5.89 m/s    For this problem, first calculate a translation that will put John's destination directly on the origin and apply that translation to Mary's destination. Then the vector from the origin to Mary's new destination will be the relative vector of Mary as compared to John. So John is traveling due south at 6.7 m/s. After 1 second, he will be at coordinates (0,-6.7). The translation will be (0,6.7)  Mary is traveling 28° West of due south. So her location after 1 second will be  (-sin(28)*10.9, -cos(28)*10.9) = (-5.117240034, -9.624128762)  After translating that coordinate up by 6.7, you get  (-5.117240034, -2.924128762)  The tangent of the angle will be 2.924128762/5.117240034 = 0.57142693  The arc tangent is atan(0.57142693) = 29.74481039° Subtract that value from 90 since you want the complement of the angle which is now 60.25518961°    So Mary is traveling 60.3° relative to due south as seen from John's point of view.  The magnitude of her relative speed is  sqrt(-5.117240034^2 + -2.924128762^2) = 5.893783 m/s    Rounding the results to 3 significant digits results in 60.3° and 5.89 m/s

There is a 50 g sample of Ra-229. It has a half-life of 4 minutes.
Sloan [31]

Via half-life equation we have:


A_{final}=A_{initial}(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{h} }


Where the initial amount is 50 grams, half-life is 4 minutes, and time elapsed is 12 minutes.  By plugging those values in we get:

A_{final}=50(\frac{1}{2})^\frac{12}{4}=50(\frac{1}{2})^{3}=50(\frac{1}{8})=6.25g


There is 6.25 grams left of Ra-229 after 12 minutes.

For total internal reflection to occur, all of the following must happen but __________. light must travel slower in the first m
bija089 [108]

Answer:

Explanation:

When a ray of light passes through denser medium to rarer medium and then after refraction it comes back into the denser medium, the phenomenon is called total internal refraction.

There are two necessary conditions for the total internal refraction.

(1) The refraction takes place g=from denser medium to rarer medium.

(2) The angle of incidence in the denser medium should be more than the critical angle for that pair of media.

A 5.7 kg particle starts from rest at x = 0 and moves under the influence of a single force Fx = 4.5 + 13.7 x − 1.5 x 2 , where
const2013 [10]

Answer:

The work done by the force on the particle is 29.85 J.

Explanation:

The work is given by:  

W = ^{x_{2}}_{x_{1}}\int F_{x} dx

Where:

x₁: is the lower limit = 0 m    

x₂: is the upper limit = 1.9 m

Fₓ: is the force in the horizontal direction =  (4.5 + 13.7x - 1.5x²)N

W = ^{1.9}_{0}\int (4.5 + 13.7x - 1.5x^{2}) dx  

W = 4.5x|^{1.9}_{0} + \frac{13.7}{2}x^{2}|^{1.9}_{0} - \frac{1.5}{3}x^{3}|^{1.9}_{0}  

W = 4.5N(1.9 m) + \frac{13.7N}{2}(1.9 m)^{2} - \frac{1.5N}{3}(1.9 m)^{3}    

W = 4.5N(1.9 m) + \frac{13.7N}{2}(1.9 m)^{2} - \frac{1.5N}{3}(1.9 m)^{3}      

W = 29.85 J

Therefore, the work done by the force on the particle is 29.85 J.

I hope it helps you!
