A swimmer swims 1000 m in the pool in 8.6 minutes. What was the average speed of the swimmer in m/s?

2 answers:

6 0

Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Speed = (1,000 meters / 8.6 minutes) x (1 minute / 60 seconds) = 1.94 m/s
(rounded)

A 5.30kg block hangs from a spring with a spring constant 1700 N/m. The block is pulled down 4.50cm from the equilibrium positio

Andru [333]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the frequency in a spring, the conservation of energy and the total mechanical energy in the body (kinetic or potential as the case may be)

PART A) By definition the frequency in a spring is given by the equation

$f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

Where,

m = mass

k = spring constant

Our values are,

k=1700N/m

m=5.3 kg

Replacing,

$f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{1700}{5.3}}$

$f=2.85 Hz$

PART B) To solve this section it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of energy both potential (simple harmonic) and kinetic in the spring.

$\frac{1}{2}kA^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2} kY^2$

Where,

k = Spring constant

m = mass

y = Vertical compression

v = Velocity

This expression is equivalent to,

$kA^2 =mV^2 +ky^2$

Our values are given as,

k=1700 N/m

V=1.70 m/s

y=0.045m

m=5.3 kg

Replacing we have,

$1700*A^2=5.3*1.7^2 +1700*(0.045)^2$

Solving for A,

$A^2 = \frac{5.3*1.7^2 +1700*(0.045)^2}{1700}$

$A ^2 = 0.011035$

$A=0.105 m \approx 10.5 cm$

PART C) Finally, the total mechanical energy is given by the equation

$E = \frac{1}{2}kA^2$

$E=\frac{1}{2}1700*(0.105)^2$

$E= 9.3712 J$

Select the statement that best describes gravity.

pav-90 [236]

Explanation:

Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects. It depends upon the mass of the objects and the distance between the objects. Mathematically, the force of gravity is given by :

$F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{d^2}$

Where

G is the universal gravitational constant

$m_1\ and\ m_2$ are masses

d is the distance between two masses

So, statement (2) describes gravity "Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects; it is dependent upon the mass of the objects and the distance between the objects".
