Given that:
k = 500 n/m,
work (W) = 704 J
spring extension (x) = ?
we know that,
Work = (1/2) k x²
704 = (1/2) × 500 × x²
x = 1.67 m
A spring stretched for 1.67 m distance.
Answer:
The polar coordinate of
is
.
Explanation:
Given a point in rectangular form, that is
, its polar form is defined by:
(1)
Where:
- Norm, measured in meters.
- Direction, measured in sexagesimal degrees.
The norm of the point is determined by Pythagorean Theorem:
(2)
And direction is calculated by following trigonometric relation:
(3)
If we know that
and
, then the components of coordinates in polar form is:


Since
and
, direction is located at 3rd Quadrant. Given that tangent function has a period of 180º, we find direction by using this formula:


The polar coordinate of
is
.
Answer:
3.8 secs
Explanation:
Parameters given:
Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 
Initial velocity, u = 11.76 m/s
Final velocity, v = 49 m/s
Using one of Newton's equations of linear motion, we have that:

where t = time of flight of arrow
The sign is positive because the arrow is moving downward, in the same direction as gravitational force.
Therefore:

The arrow was in flight for 3.8 secs
The work done to pull the sled up to the hill is given by

where
F is the intensity of the force
d is the distance where the force is applied.
In our problem, the work done is

and the distance through which the force is applied is

, so we can calculate the average force by re-arranging the previous equation and by using these data:
