As part of your daily workout, you lie on your back and push with your feet against a platform attached to two stiff springs arr

anged side by side so that they are parallel to each other. When you push the platform, you compress the springs. You do an amount of work of 85.0 J when you compress the springs a distance of 0.250 m from their uncompressed length. What magnitude of force must you apply to hold the platform in this position? How much additional work must you do to move the platform a distance 0.220 m farther? What maximum force must you apply to move the platform a distance 0.220 m farther?

Answer:

a) F = 680 N, b)  W = 215 .4 J , c)  F = 1278.4 N

Explanation:

a) Hooke's law is

              F = k x

To find the displacement (x) let's use the elastic energy equation

            K_{e} = ½ k x²

             k = 2 K_{e}  / x²

             k = 2 85.0 / 0.250²

             k = 2720 N / m

We replace and look for elastic force

            F = 2720  0.250

            F = 680 N

b) The definition of work is

          W = ΔEm

          W = K_{ef} - K_{eo}

          W = ½ k ( x_{f}² - x₀²)

The final distance

         x_{f} = 0.250 +0.220

        x_{f} = 0.4750 m

We calculate the work

          W = ½ 2720 (0.47² - 0.25²)

          W = 215 .4 J

We calculate the strength

          F = k x_{f}

          F = 2720 0.470

          F = 1278.4 N

What is matter? Give a grade 10/11/12 understanding.
lara [203]

Matter can be many things, but is mostly made of atoms. Atoms are small things that cannot be seen directly, as lights either passes through it or alters it. However, we know that atoms are made of 3 parts, those being the proton, neutron, and electron.

Protons have a positive electromagnetic charge.

Neutrons have no charge.

Electrons have a negative charge equal to the protons positive charge.

Protons and neutrons make up what's called the nucleus, which is orbited by the electrons.

Protons and neutrons also share another thing in common, that being their composition.

Until relatively recently, we thought that these were the smallest particles in the universe, and indestructible. However, modern discoveries have revealed that they are actually made of quarks and gluons.

These are actually indestructible, being part of the group that is elementary particles.

Which example provides the most complete description of an object's motion?
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The hiker followed a road heading north for 2 miles in 30 minutes.

Explanation:

In order to describe the motion of an object, distance covered and time taken must be required. The total path covered by an object is called the distance travelled.

The hiker followed a road heading north for 2 miles in 30 minutes. This describes the motion of hiker. The motion shows how fast the hiker is moving.  

Distance, d = 2 miles = 3218.6 m

times, t = 30 minutes = 1800 seconds

So, we can say that the hiker is moving with a speed of 1.78 m/s in north direction.

Hence, this is the required solution.

3. Which one of these has the most inertia?
Arte-miy333 [17]

b. A Boeing 747 airplane

Explanation:

The Boeing 747 airplane will have the most inertia of all. Inertia is the tendency of an object to remain at rest or uniform motion.

  • Newton's first law of motion is also regarded as the law of inertia.
  • It states that "an object will remain at rest or uniform motion motion unless acted upon by an external force".
  • A body that has a large mass will be more resistant to any external force that acts on it.
  • The Boeing 747 has the most mass of all and will have the most inertia.

You have a 16-kg suitcase. what work did you do when you have slowly lifted it 0.80 m upward?
Anna71 [15]
The formula is:
Work = Force · Displacement
F = m · g
F = 16 kg · 9.8 m/s²  = 156.8 N
and we know that:
d = 0.8 m
W = 156.8 N · 0.8 m = 125.44 J
Answer:
W = 125.44 J.
