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

Suppose two children push horizontally, but in exactly opposite directions, on a third child in a wagon. The first child exerts
Nata [24]

(a) The system of interest if the acceleration of the child in the wagon is to be calculated are the wagon and the children outside the wagon.

(b) The acceleration of the child-wagon system is 0.33 m/s².

(c) Acceleration of the child-wagon system is zero when the frictional force is 21 N.

<h3>Net force on the third child</h3>

Apply Newton's second law of motion;

∑F = ma

where;

  • ∑F is net force
  • m is mass of the third child
  • a is acceleration of the third child

∑F = 96 N - 75 N - 12 N = 9 N

Thus, the system of interest if the acceleration of the child in the wagon is to be calculated are;

  • the wagon
  • the children outside the wagon

<h3>Acceleration of the  child and wagon system</h3>

a = ∑F/m

a = 9 N / 27 kg

a = 0.33 m/s²

<h3>When the frictional force is 21 N</h3>

∑F = 96 N - 75 N - 21 N = 0 N

a = ∑F/m

a = 0/27 kg

a = 0 m/s²

Two charged particles are located on the x axis. The first is a charge 1Q at x 5 2a. The second is an unknown charge located at
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Q_2 = +/- 295.75*Q

Explanation:

Given:

- The charge of the first particle Q_1 = +Q

- The second charge = Q_2

- The position of first charge x_1 = 2a

- The position of the second charge x_2 = 13a

- The net Electric Field produced at origin is E_net = 2kQ / a^2

Find:

Explain how many values are possible for the unknown charge and find the possible values.

Solution:

- The Electric Field due to a charge is given by:

                               E = k*Q / r^2

Where, k: Coulomb's Constant

            Q: The charge of particle

            r: The distance from source

- The Electric Field due to charge 1:

                               E_1 = k*Q_1 / r^2

                               E_1 = k*Q / (2*a)^2

                               E_1 = k*Q / 4*a^2

- The Electric Field due to charge 2:

                               E_2 = k*Q_2 / r^2

                               E_2 = k*Q_2 / (13*a)^2

                               E_2 = +/- k*Q_2 / 169*a^2

- The two possible values of charge Q_2 can either be + or -. The Net Electric Field can be given as:

                               E_net = E_1 + E_2

                               2kQ / a^2 = k*Q_1 / 4*a^2 +/- k*Q_2 / 169*a^2

- The two equations are as follows:

        1:                   2kQ / a^2 = k*Q / 4*a^2 + k*Q_2 / 169*a^2

                               2Q = Q / 4 + Q_2 / 169

                               Q_2 = 295.75*Q

        2:                    2kQ / a^2 = k*Q / 4*a^2 - k*Q_2 / 169*a^2

                               2Q = Q / 4 - Q_2 / 169

                               Q_2 = -295.75*Q

- The two possible values corresponds to positive and negative charge Q_2.

Need help finding the average speed.
Snowcat [4.5K]

Explanation:

To find the average of these numbers, we just have to add the three numbers together and divide by 3.

  • 2.07 + 0. 74 + 1.33 = 4.14. 4.14 / 3 = 1.38
  • 1.09 + 1.40 + 0.31 = 2.8. 2.8 / 3 ≈ 9.3333333/ 9 1/3
  • 0.95 + 1.61 + 0.56 = 3.12 / 3 = 1.04
  • 0.81 + 1.89 + 1.08 = 3.78 / 3 = 1.26
