Answer:

k = 17043.5 N/m = 17.04 KN/m

Explanation:

First we need to find the force applied by safe pn the spring:

F = Weight of Safe

F = mg

where,

F = Force Applied by the safe on the spring = ?

m = mass of safe = 800 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

F = (800 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

F = 7840 N

Now, using Hooke's Law:

F = kΔx

where,

K = Spring Constant = ?

Δx = compression = 46 cm = 0.46 m

Therefore,

7840 N = k (0.46 m)

k = 7840 N/0.46 m

<u>k = 17043.5 N/m = 17.04 KN/m</u>

A cardiac defibrillator stores 1275 J of energy when it is charged to 5.6kV What is the capacitance? O 11.3 pF 96.1 pF O 813 F
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer: 813.13(10)^{-7}F

Explanation:

The answer is not among the given options. However, this is a good example of the relation between the energy stored in a capacitor Wand its capacitance C, which is given by the following equation:

W=\frac{1}{2}CV^{2}   (1)

Where:

W=1275J

V=5.6kV=5.6(10)^{3}V is the voltage

C is the capacitance in Farads, the value we want to find

Isolating C from (1):

C=\frac{2W}{V^{2}}   (2)

C=\frac{2(1275J)}{(5.6(10)^{3}V)^{2}}   (3)

Finally:

C=0.000081313F=813.13(10)^{-7}F This is the capacitance of the cardiac defibrillator

Provide support to the argument that Cornell university did violate ethical requirements for research
netineya [11]

Answer:A how to build a computer program that simulates the movement of softbots

B all the different tasks robots could perform

C all the different materials robots could be made of

D all the different ways robots could move

all the different ways robots could move

Answer: Option D.

Explanation:According to group of researchers at the Cornell university thinks that the time that is to come is the time of the robots where the major tasks of the life of the humans will be taken up by the robots.

They also think that the robots that are to come up in the future are going to be a kind of softbots which are going to be made up of the soft tissues and would be more flexible to move compared to the other robots which exist already.
