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

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

6.29591\times 10^{-6}\ N/C^2

Explanation:

Flux is given by

\phi=EAcos\theta

A = Area

A=0.4\times 10^{-3}\times 0.6\times 10^{-3}

E = Electric field = 76.7 N/C

Angle is given by

\theta=90-20\\\Rightarrow \theta=70^{\circ}

\phi=76.7\times 0.4\times 10^{-3}\times 0.6\times 10^{-3}\times cos70\\\Rightarrow \phi=6.29591\times 10^{-6}\ N/C^2

The flux through the sheet is 6.29591\times 10^{-6}\ N/C^2

What is the relationship between thickness of lens and focal length?​
Ymorist [56]

Thick lens will have shorter and consequently thin lens will have greater focal length. Because, For a thick lens, the optical path length of the light is more, than for a thin lens, thus, the bending of light will be more in case of a thicker lens. Consequently, it has a shorter focal length.

It is correct to say that impulse is equal toA) momentum.B) the change in momentum.C) the force multiplied by the distance the f
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

B) the change in momentum.

Explanation:

The impulse is defined as the product between the force applied on an object (F) and the duration of the collision (\Delta t):

J=F \Delta t (1)

We can rewrite the force by using Newton's second law, as the product between mass (m) and acceleration (a):

F=ma

So, (1) becomes

J=ma \Delta t

Now we can also rewrite the acceleration as ratio between the change in velocity and change in time: a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}. If we substitute into the previous equation, we find

J=m\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\Delta t=m\Delta v

And the quantity m\Delta v is equivalent to the change in momentum, \Delta p.
