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

igomit [66]

Answer:

<h2>15,000 J</h2>

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

PE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 10 m/s²

From the question we have

PE = 150 × 10 × 10

We have the final answer as

<h3>15,000 J</h3>

Hope this helps you
