Answer:

-2.63 Joules

2.63 Joules

Explanation:

x_i = Initial compression = 5.89 cm

x_f = Final compression = -15.4 cm

k = Spring constant = 260 Nm

Work done by a spring is given by

W=\frac{1}{2}k(x_i^2-x_f^2)\\\Rightarrow W=\frac{1}{2}260\times (0.0589^2-0.154^2)\\\Rightarrow W=-2.63\ J

Work done by the spring is -2.63 Joules.

Change in kinetic energy is given by

\Delta K=W_a+W_s

Here, it is assumed that change in kinetic energy is zero as velocity and amlitude are not mentioned.

So,

0=W_a+W_s\\\Rightarrow W_a=-W_s\\\Rightarrow W_a=--2.63\\\Rightarrow W_a=2.63\ J

The work done by the applied force is 2.63 Joules.

never [62]

Answer:

N = 1364 N

Explanation:

given data

accelerate upward = 5.70 m/s²

mass = 88.0 kg

solution

normal force is in upward direction so, weight of the student in downward direction and acceleration is in upward direction so formula is express as

N - mg = ma        ...........................1

N = m × (g+a)

put here value

N = 88.0 × (9.8 + 5.70)

N = 1364 N

A exercise ball is on a table 2.5 m above the ground. What is the mass
horsena [70]

Answer:

2.27kg

Explanation:

The Potential energy gained = Force gravity× Height

Force gravity on the ball is GPE/ height

56.8/2.5=22.72N

the mass = 22.72/10= 2.27kg
