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

Arisa [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

a = gsinθ

a = 9.8sin30

a = 4.9 m/s²

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 0² + 2(4.9)(10)

v² = 98

v = √98 = 9.8994949...

v = 9.9 m/s

Answer the following question​
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

A) OA, AB, BC

B) 25m/s^2

C) see explanation

D) 25

E) Rest

Explanation:

From the Velocity time graph shown:

The positive slope = OA ; This is positive because, it is the point of uniform acceleration on the graph.

Constant slope = AB, the slope here is constant because, AB on the graph is the point of constant velocity.

-ve slope = BC

B) Acceleration of body in path OA.

Acceleration = change in Velocity / time

Acceleration = (150 - 0) / 6

Acceleration = 150/6 = 25m/s^2

C) Path AB is Parallel to the because it marks the period of constant velocity (that is Velocity does not increase or decrease during the time interval).

D) Length of BC

BC corresponds to the distance moved, that velocity / time

Velocity = 150 ; time = 6

Therefore Distance (BC) = 150/6 = 25

E.) Velocity =0 ; Hence body is at rest

A flywheel in a motor is spinning at 590 rpm when a power failure suddenly occurs. The flywheel has mass 40.0 kg and diameter 75
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hello,

Let's get the data for this question before proceeding to solve the problems.

Mass of flywheel = 40kg

Speed of flywheel = 590rpm

Diameter = 75cm , radius = diameter/ 2 = 75 / 2 = 37.5cm.

Time = 30s = 0.5 min

During the power off, the flywheel made 230 complete revolutions.

∇θ = [(ω₂ + ω₁) / 2] × t

∇θ = [(590 + ω₂) / 2] × 0.5

But ∇θ = 230 revolutions

∇θ/t = (530 + ω₂) / 2

230 / 0.5 = (530 + ω₂) / 2

Solve for ω₂

460 = 295 + 0.5ω₂

ω₂ = 330rpm

a)

ω₂ = ω₁ + αt

but α = ?

α = (ω₂ - ω₁) / t

α = (330 - 590) / 0.5

α = -260 / 0.5

α = -520rev/min

b)

ω₂ = ω₁ + αt

0 = 590 +(-520)t

520t = 590

solve for t

t = 590 / 520

t = 1.13min

60 seconds = 1min

X seconds = 1.13min

x = (60 × 1.13) / 1

x = 68seconds

∇θ = [(ω₂ + ω₁) / 2] × t

∇θ = [(590 + 0) / 2] × 1.13

∇θ = 333.35 rev/min

In 3 seconds, a wave generator produces 15 pulses that spread over a distance of 45 centimeters. Calculate its velocity.
NemiM [27]

We don't even need to know how many pulses were produced
in those 3 seconds.

The beginning of the first pulse took 3 seconds to travel
45 centimeters from the generator.

Its speed is    (45 cm) / (3 sec)  =  15 cm/sec.
