ge catapults that are made with surgical hose mounted on a window frame. A balloon filled with dyed water is placed in a pouch attached to the hose, which is then stretched through the width of the room. Assume that the stretching of the hose obeys Hooke's law and has a spring constant of 102 N/m. If the hose is stretched by 4.8 m and then released, how much work does the force from the hose do on the balloon in the pouch by the time the hose reaches its relaxed length

Answer: 1175 J

Explanation:

Hooke's Law states that "the strain in a solid is proportional to the applied stress within the elastic limit of that solid."

Given

Spring constant, k = 102 N/m

Extension of the hose, x = 4.8 m

from the question, x(f) = 0 and x(i) = maximum elongation = 4.8 m

Work done =

W = 1/2 k [x(i)² - x(f)²]

Since x(f) = 0, then

W = 1/2 k x(i)²

W = 1/2 * 102 * 4.8²

W = 1/2 * 102 * 23.04

W = 1/2 * 2350.08

W = 1175.04

W = 1175 J

Therefore, the hose does a work of exactly 1175 J on the balloon

anyanavicka [17]
<h2>Answer: C) He could have thrown the bag of money sideways, creating a  horizontal reaction force on himself.</h2>

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law of motion, when two bodies interact between them, appear equal forces and opposite senses in each of them.

To understand it better:

Each time a body or object exerts a force on a second body or object, it (the second body) will exert a force of equal magnitude and direction but in the opposite direction on the first.

So, if the rich man had pushed the bag of money horizontally opposite of where he was, he could have saved himself.

dimulka [17.4K]
<span>Let & be the angle between B und A. We have to show that B - |B|cos & A/|A| is normal to A. Using the dot product we must have (B - |B|cos & A/|A| )·A =0. Since the dot product is distributive with respect to addition, we can write it as: B·A - |B|cos & A/|A|·A = |B| |A|cos & - (|B|cos & A/|A|)|A|^2 = 0, since (|B|cos & A/|A|)|A|^2 = |B| |A|cos &.

hope this helps</span>

Which is the best estimated pressure, represented in units of GPa, of the lower mantle?
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer : The best pressure is 110 GPa of the lower mantle.

Explanation : We know that the pressure in the lower mantle starts at 24 GPa and reach a 136 GPa at the boundary.

So, the best pressure is 110 GPa because 220 GPa, a 305 GPa and 360 GPa are the higher value of  the maximum value 136 GPa of the lower mantle.
