Melissa's favorite exercise equipment at the gym consists of various springs. in one exercise, she pulls a handle grip attached

to the free end of a spring to 0.80 m from its unstrained position. the other end of the spring (spring constant = 45 n/m) is held in place by the equipment frame. what is the magnitude of the force that melissa is applying to the handle grip?

The formula for force exerted on/by a spring is 

F = k*e where k is the spring constant and x is the distance stretched from unstrained position. This should allow you to find what you need.

 

Using F = k x e, 


where k is the spring constant, 


and e is the extension, 


The F is her weight = 45 X 0.80 


= 36 N

mina [271]

Answer:

When the person has swung all the way back (position A), the swing pauses a moment. ... As the swing continues forward, it gradually slows down. Its kinetic energy changes back to potential energy until it reaches the farthest point in its arc (position C).

A parachutist with a camera, both descending at a speed of 10.8 m/s, releases that camera at an altitude of 60 m. In this proble
Masja [62]

Answer:

<em>The velocity of the camera just before it hit the ground = 35.97 m/s.</em>

Explanation:

Velocity: This can be defined as the ratio of the displacement of a body to the time. Velocity is a vector quantity, and as such it can be represented both in magnitude and direction.

From the equation of motion,

v² = u² + 2gs ................ Equation 1

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, g = acceleration due to gravity, s = distance.

Note: Before the velocity of the camera before it hits the ground = The final velocity of the camera.

<em>Given: u = 10.8 m/s, s = 60 m. g = 9.81 m/s.</em>

<em>Substituting into equation 1,</em>

<em>v² = 10.8² + 2(9.81)(60)</em>

<em>v² = 116.64+1177.2</em>

<em>v² = 1293.84 </em>

<em>v = √(1293.84)</em>

<em>v = 35.97 m/s.</em>

<em>Hence the velocity of the camera just before it hit the ground = 35.97 m/s.</em>
