When a 4.32 kg object is hung vertically on a certain light spring that obeys Hooke's Law, the spring stretches 2.92 cm.

(a) 1.01 cm

First of all, we need to find the spring constant of the spring.

The force initially applied to the spring is equal to the weight of the block hanging on it:

F=mg=(4.32)(9.8) = 42.3 N

where m = 4.32 kg is the mass of the block and g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity.

When this force is applied, the spring stretches by

x=2.92 cm = 0.0292 m

We can find the spring constant by using Hooke's law:

F=kx

where k is the spring constant. Solving for k,

k=\frac{F}{x}=\frac{42.3}{0.0292}=1448.6 N/m

Later, the first object is removed and another object of mass

m' = 1.50 kg

is hung on the spring. The weight of this object is

F'=m'g=(1.50)(9.8)=14.7 N

So, if we use Hooke's law again, we can find the new stretching of the spring:

x'=\frac{F'}{k}=\frac{14.7}{1448.6}=0.0101 m = 1.01 cm

(b) 1.16 J

The work that must be done on the spring is equal to the elastic potential energy that would be stored in the spring, therefore:

W=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

where we have

k = 1448.6 N/m is the spring constant

x = 4.00 cm = 0.04 m is the new stretching

Solving the equation, we find the work that must be done by the external force:

W=\frac{1}{2}(1448.6)(0.04)^2=1.16 J

Kelli weighs 425 N, and she is sitting on a playground swing that hangs 0.36 m above the ground. Her mom pulls the swing back an
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

V = 3.54 m/s

Explanation:

Using the conservation of energy:

E_i = E_f

so:

wh = \frac{1}{2}mV^2

where w is te weigh of kelly, h the distance that kelly decends, m is the mass of kelly and V the velocity in the lowest position.

So, the mass of kelly is:

m = 425N/9.8 = 43.36 Kg

and h is:

h = 1m-0.36m =0.64m

then, replacing values, we get:

(425N)(0.64m) = \frac{1}{2}(43.36kg)v^2

Solving for v:

V = 3.54 m/s

kifflom [539]

Answer:

28852 J

Explanation:

When a force applied in a body produces a displacement in it, the force realized a work. The force that moves Karen is contrary to her weight and must be equal to it.

The work (W) is:

W = F.d.cos(θ), where F is the force, d is the displacement, and θ is the angle.

Knowing that cos(26°) = 0.899, and F = m*g

W = 51.9*9.8*63.1*0.899

W = 28852 J

Suppose that Salim hits a 100 g fastball moving towards him at a speed of 42 m/s with his bat as shown in the image.the impulse
FinnZ [79.3K]

The final momentum of the ball is 3.8 kgm/s.

<h3>Change in momentum of the ball</h3>

The impulse received by the ball is equal to change in momentum of the ball.

J = ΔP

where;

  • J is the impulse
  • ΔP is change in momentum

ΔP = P₂ - P₁

P₂ = ΔP + P₁

<h3>Final momentum of the ball</h3>

The final momentum of the ball is calculated as follows;

P₂ = 8 + (- 0.1 x 42)

P₂ = 8 - 4.2

P₂ = 3.8 kgm/s

if pete (mass =90.00kg) weighs himself and finds that he weighs 30.0 pounds, how far away from the earth is he?
Svet_ta [14]

Here we know that mass of the person is 90 kg

His weight is given as 30 lbf

so here we can convert it into Newton as we know that

1 lbf = 4.45 N

Now from above conversion

30 lbf = 30 \times 4.45 = 133.45 N

now we can use this to find the gravity at this height

mg = 133.45

90\times g = 133.45

g = 1.49 m/s^2

now we know that with height gravity varies as

g' = g(\frac{R}{R+H})^2

1.49 = 9.8(\frac{6.37\times 10^6}{6.37\times 10^6 + h})^2

h = 1.0 \times 10^7 m

so above is the height from the surface of earth
