Answer:

159.38 Watts

Explanation:

Initially;

  • Mass on the spring is 8.5 kg
  • Therefore, compression force is 85 N
  • Compression distance is 15 cm or 0.15 m

But;

F = kx

where F is the force of compression, k is the spring constant and x is the compression distance.

Thus;

k = F/x

  = 85 N ÷0.15

  = 566.67 N/m

We are required to determine the power needed to stretch the same spring for 1.5 m in 4 secs.

Power = Work done ÷ time

Work done is given by 0.5kx²

Therefore;

Power = 0.5kx²÷ t

          = (0.5×566.67 N/m × 1.5² ) ÷ 4 seconds

          = 159.38 Watts

Thus, the power needed is 159.38 watts

A). very large
B). very small
These are both wishy-washy words ... words that mean different things
to different people, and may even mean different things to the same person
at different times.
Even if everybody agreed on the meaning of these words, we wouldn't
have any idea which one may apply to the rover, because there's nothing
in the picture that gives any size reference !  We don't know from the picture
whether this thing is the size of a school book or a school bus.  Or somewhere
in between.

C). very mathematical
What in the world does this mean ? ?
I don't see a single number or math symbol anywhere in the drawing.
I don't think this is the correct choice.

D). very complex
In the drawing, there are thirteen different labels of things,
and eight of them have such long names that only their initials
are shown.
This is one complicated combination of many different machines.
I think this is the best choice of description.

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

3.71 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of linear momentum, since we are neglecting minor energy losses due to friction then we can express it as mgh=0.5mv^{2} since all the potential energy is transformed to kinetic energy

Making v the subject of the formula then v=\sqrt {2gh} and here m is the mass of the block, g is acceleration due to gravity, h is the height. Substituting 0.7 m for h and 9.81 for g then we obtain that v=\sqrt {2\times 9.81\times 0.7}=3.705941176 m/s\approx 3.71 m/s
