It is weigh-in time for the local under-85-kg rugby team. The bathroom scale used to assess eligibility can be described by Hook

e’s law and is depressed 0.75 cm by its maximum load of 120 kg. (a) What is the spring’s effective force constant? (b) A player stands on the scales and depresses it by 0.48 cm. Is he eligible to play on this under-85-kg team?

Answer:

(a)spring effective force constant =1568N/cm

(b) Yes

Explanation:

Hooke's law is represented mathematically as, F=ke

where

  • F is force applied to elastic material,
  • k= spring constant
  • e= extension

(a).After the maximum load is exceeded, Hooke's law doesn't apply anymore. from the problem, its stated that a maximum load of 120kg will cause an extension of 0.75cm, we will use this to determine the spring constant.

F=mg, g=9.8m/s^{2}

F= 120*9.8 =1176N

From Hooke's law, k=\frac{F}{e}

k=\frac{1176}{0.75}

k=1568N/cm

(b). The players who stands on the scale causes a 0.48cm extension.

    e= 0.48cm, k= 1568N/cm

F=Ke

F= 1568*0.48

F= 752.64N

To calculate the mass of the player we divide this force by g=9.8m/s^{2}

F=mg

m=F/g

m= \frac{ 752.64}{9.8} \\\\m=76.8kg

since the rugby team is an under 85kg team, this player with 76.8kg mass is eligible

<h2>So, the correct answers are:</h2>

Travels in longitudinal waves

Travels most slowly through a gas

Speeds up when temperature is increased

Is caused by vibration

Explanation for correct answers:

Yes, it does travel in longitudinal waves

Yes, sounds weird, but travels faster in the water

Yes, does speed up when temperature is increased

And yes, Is caused by vibration.

<h2>Wrong answer is:</h2>

Can travel through a vacuum

Explanation for wrong answer:

actually, in space, there is NO sound, because there are no particals for the sound to vibrate with, there's just empty SPACE.

Which of the following devices is associated with the reception of radio signals?
ki77a [65]
What are the "following" devices ? ?
I think they're a list of choices that you have but aren't sharing.

A few devices associated with the reception of various types of
radio signals include the resonant tank, the local oscillator, the
mixer, the detector, the coherer, the discriminator, the parabolic
reflector, the lecher wires, the audio transducer, the demultiplexer,
and ... my personal guess ... the 'antenna' or 'aerial'.

A guitar string is 0.620m long, and oscillates at 234Hz. What is the velocity of the waves in the string? m/s
9966 [12]

Answer:

v = 72.54 m/s

Explanation:

We have,

Length of a guitar string is 0.62 m

Frequency of a guitar string is 234 Hz

For guitar string,

L=2\lambda\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{L}{2}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{0.62}{2}\\\\\lambda=0.31\ m

The velocity of the wave in the string is given by :

v=f\lambda\\\\v=234\times 0.31\\\\v=72.54\ m/s

So, the velocity of the waves in the string is 72.54 m/s.

The increase in height as a tsunami approaches shore is due to
ryzh [129]

Answer:

C. The decrease in speed as the wave approaches shore.

Explanation:

The waves break when approaching the shore because the depth decreases. Thus, the wave travels more slowly and increases its height. There comes a time when the part of the wave on the surface travels faster than the one that travels under water, the ridge destabilizes and falls against the ground.

7. CALCULATE: How much work is done in each of
kifflom [539]
<h3>Answer</h3>

a. 8J

b. 90J

<h3>Notes formula</h3>

W = F × s

W = Work done (J)

F = Force (N)

s = distance (m)

<h3>Known that </h3>

a. F = 4N

s = 2m

b. F = 30N

s = 3m

<h3>Question</h3>

a. W = ..?

b. W = ..?

<h3>Way to do it</h3>

a. W = F × s

= 4N × 2m = 8J

b. W = F × s

= 30N × 3m = 90J
