Answer:

The spring constant is 60,000 N

The total work done on it during the compression is 3 J

Explanation:

Given;

weight of the girl, W = 600 N

compression of the spring, x = 1 cm = 0.01 m

To determine the spring constant, we apply hook's law;

F = kx

where;

F is applied force or weight on the spring

k is the spring constant

x is the compression of the spring

k = F / x

k = 600 / 0.01

k = 60,000 N

The total work done on the spring = elastic potential energy of the spring, U;

U = ¹/₂kx²

U = ¹/₂(60000)(0.01)²

U = 3 J

Thus, the total work done on it during the compression is 3 J

A wheel has a constant angular acceleration of 4.5 rad/s2. during a certain 5.0 s interval, it turns through an angle of 128 rad
dalvyx [7]
The solution for this problem is through this formula:Ø = w1 t + 1/2 ã t^2 
where:Ø - angular displacement w1 - initial angular velocity t - time ã - angular acceleration 
128 = w1 x 4 + ½ x 4.5 x 5^2 128 = 4w1 + 56.254w1 = -128 + 56.25 4w1 = 71.75w1 = 71.75/4
w1 = 17.94 or 18 rad s^-1 
w1 = wo + ãt 
w1 - final angular velocity 
wo - initial angular velocity 
18 = 0 + 4.5t t = 4 s

shutvik [7]

Answer:

Sam will do 1152 J of work to stop the boat

Explanation:

Work: This is defined as the product of force and distance, the S.I unit of work is Joules. At any point in science, during calculation Energy and worked can be interchange because they have the same unit.

E = W = 1/2mv²................ Equation 1

Where E = energy, W = work, m = mass, v = velocity.

Given: m = 900 kg, v = 1.6 m/s

Substituting these values into equation 1

W = 1/2(900)(1.6)²

W = 450×2.56

W = 1152 J.

Therefore Sam will do 1152 J of work to stop the boat
