Tendons are strong elastic fibers that attach muscles to bones. To a reasonable approximation, they obey Hooke's law. In laborat

ory tests on a particular tendon, it was found that, when a 251 g object was hung from it, the tendon stretched 1.23 cm .Find the force constant of this tendon.

Answer:

k = 200 N/m

Explanation:

given,

mass of the object  = 251 g

                                = 251 x 10⁻³ Kg = 0.251 Kg

distance of tendon stretch = x = 1.23 cm

                                            = 1.23 x 10⁻² = 0.0123 m

using the formula

F = k  x

where

k is the force constant of the tendon

F = m g

F = 0.251 x 9.8 = 2.4598 N

2.4598 = k x 0.0123

k = 199.98 N/m

k = 200 N/m

hence, force constant of the tendon is approximately equal to 200 N/m

A proton accelerates from rest in a uniform electric field of 610 N/C. At some later time, its speed is 1.4 106 m/s.(a) Find the
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

a) 5.851× 10¹⁰m/s²

b) 2.411×10⁻¹¹s

c)  1.70×10⁻¹¹m

d) 1.661×10⁻²⁷KJ

Explanation:

A proton in the field experience a downward force of magnitude,

F = eE. The force of gravity on the proton will be negligible compared to the electric force

F = eE

a= eE/m

= 1.602×10⁻¹⁹ × 610/1.67×10⁻²⁷

= 5.851× 10¹⁰m/s²

b)

V = u + at

u= 0

v= 1.4106m/s

v= (0)t + at

t= v/a

= 1.4106m/s/5.851 ×10¹⁰

= 2.411×10⁻¹¹s

c)

S = ut + at²

= (o)t + 5.851×10¹⁰×(2.411×10⁻¹¹)²

= 1.70×10⁻¹¹m

d)

Ke = 1/2mv²

    = (1.67×10⁻²⁷×)(1.4106)²/2

 =  1.661×10⁻²⁷KJ

If a 1 kg book has 46 Joules of gravitational potential energy how high is the shelf it is on?
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

4.7m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the book  = 1kg

Gravitational potential energy  = 46J

Unknown:

Height of the shelf  = ?

Solution:

The potential energy is due to the position of a body above the ground.

        Gravitational potential energy  = mgh

m is the mass,

g is the acceleration due gravity  = 9.8m/s²

h is the height which is unknown

                       46  = 1 x 9.8 x h

                       h  = 4.7m
