Answer:

21.53 x 10^{6} N

Explanation:

force (F) = 4.71 x 10^{3} N

distance (s) = 4.57 km = 4570 m

how much work is done.

work = force x distance

work = 4.71 x 10^{3} x 4570 = 21.53 x 10^{6} N

(a) According to Hooke's Law, the force required to hold any spring stretched x meters beyond its natural length is f(x)=kx. Sup

Answer:

a) The work required to stretch the spring from 20 centimeters to 25 centimeters is 0.313 joules, b) The area of the region enclosed by one loop of the curve $r(\theta) = 2\cdot \sin 5\theta$ is $4\pi$ .

Explanation:

a) The work, measured in joules, is a physical variable represented by the following integral:

$W = \int\limits^{x_{f}}_{x_{o}} {F(x)} \, dx$

Where

$x_{o}$ , $x_{f}$ - Initial and final position, respectively, measured in meters.

$F(x)$ - Force as a function of position, measured in newtons.

Given that $F = k\cdot x$ and the fact that $F = 25\,N$ when $x = 0.3\,m - 0.2\,m$ , the spring constant ( $k$ ), measured in newtons per meter, is:

$k = \frac{F}{x}$

$k = \frac{25\,N}{0.3\,m-0.2\,m}$

$k = 250\,\frac{N}{m}$

Now, the work function is obtained:

$W = \left(250\,\frac{N}{m} \right)\int\limits^{0.05\,m}_{0\,m} {x} \, dx$

$W = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(250\,\frac{N}{m} \right)\cdot [(0.05\,m)^{2}-(0.00\,m)^{2}]$

$W = 0.313\,J$

The work required to stretch the spring from 20 centimeters to 25 centimeters is 0.313 joules.

b) Let be $r(\theta) = 2\cdot \sin 5\theta$ . The area of the region enclosed by one loop of the curve is given by the following integral:

$A = \int\limits^{2\pi}_0 {[r(\theta)]^{2}} \, d\theta$

$A = 4\int\limits^{2\pi}_{0} {\sin^{2}5\theta} \, d\theta$

By using trigonometrical identities, the integral is further simplified:

$A = 4\int\limits^{2\pi}_{0} {\frac{1-\cos 10\theta}{2} } \, d\theta$

$A = 2 \int\limits^{2\pi}_{0} {(1-\cos 10\theta)} \, d\theta$

$A = 2\int\limits^{2\pi}_{0}\, d\theta - 2\int\limits^{2\pi}_{0} {\cos10\theta} \, d\theta$

$A = 2\cdot (2\pi - 0) - \frac{1}{5}\cdot (\sin 20\pi-\sin 0)$

$A = 4\pi$

The area of the region enclosed by one loop of the curve $r(\theta) = 2\cdot \sin 5\theta$ is $4\pi$ .

How can you justify that force is transferred to lift and throw soil using shovel?<br>

Natali [406]

Forces are needed to lift, turn, move, open, close, push, pull, and so on. When you throw a ball, you are using force to make the ball move through the air. More than one force can act on an object at the same time.

How does the sun's gravity and the earth inertia keep us orbiting in the solar system

scZoUnD [109]

<span>Inertia keeps us orbiting because any object with mass has the tendency to resist changes to their direction and speed of movement. Combine that with the interaction of the gravitational attraction of the sun, and that is what keeps Earth in orbit. The sunâ€™s gravitational force is one that is proportional to Earthâ€™s mass, and it acts in a way that is almost exactly perpendicular to Earthâ€™s motion. This keeps Earth from spinning into the sun or far away from it.</span>

A window in a skyscraper has a surface area of 3.50 m^2. Wind rushes by the outside of the window at 17.4 m/s, while inside the

Mariana [72]

The difference in the pressure between the inside and outside will be 369.36 N/m²

<h3>What is pressure?</h3>

The force applied perpendicular to the surface of an item per unit area across which that force is spread is known as pressure.

It is denoted by P. The pressure relative to the ambient pressure is known as gauge pressure.

The given data in the problem is;

dP is the change in the presure=?

Using Bernoulli's Theorem;

$\rm \rho\frac{V^2_{12}}{2} +P_1= \rho \frac{V^2_{22}}{2} +P_2 \\\\\ P_2-P_1=\rho \frac{v_2^2-v_1^2}{2} \\\\ P_2-P_1= 1.21 \times \frac{17.4^2-0}{2} \\\\ \triangle p=369.36 \ N/m^2$

Hence, the difference in the pressure between the inside and outside will be 369.36 N/m²
