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

A 770 n man stands in the middle of a frozen pond of radius 10.0 m. he is unable to get to the other side because of a lack of f
oksano4ka [1.4K]
Momentum is conserved throughout this scenario.

Before the man does anything, the total momentum of him and his book is zero.  So we know that it'll be zero after he throws the book.

Momentum = (mass) x (velocity)

The man gives the book (1.2 kg)x(10 m/s north) = 12 kg-m/s north
of momentum.

Since the total momentum must be zero, the man himself picks up 120 kg-m/s of momentum south.

(his mass)x(his v) = 120 kg-m/s south = (770 kg-m/s^2/9.8 m/s^2)x(V).

His velocity southward = (120 x 9.8) / (770)    m/s .

He needs to reach the shore 10m away.

Time = distance/speed

        =  (10 x 770) / (120 x 9.8) seconds

        =  6.55 seconds

A bicycle tire of a radius of 0.44 m has a piece of gum stuck on its rim. What is the angle through which the tire rotates when
Karolina [17]

Based on the calculations, the angle through which the tire rotates is equal to 4.26 radians and 244.0 degrees.

<h3>How to calculate the angle?</h3>

In Physics, the distance covered by an object in circular motion can be calculated by using this formula:

S = rθ

<u>Where:</u>

  • r is the radius of a circular path.
  • θ is the angle measured in radians.
  • S is the distance.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

1.87 = 0.44 × θ

θ = 1.87/0.44

θ = 4.26 radians.

Next, we would convert this value in radians to degrees:

θ = 4.26 × 180/π

θ = 4.26 × 180/3.142

θ = 244.0 degrees.

Why does a dog circle its bed before lying down
coldgirl [10]

Answer

Doggy beds and pillows haven't always been around, so wild dogs had to pat down tall grass and underbrush to make a comfortable bed for themselves and their pups. The easiest way to prepare that night's sleeping area was by walking around in a circle. The rounding ritual may also have served as a safety precaution.

A car is traveling at 40 m/s. The brakes are applied an after 3 seconds the car is traveling 13 m/s. What is the acceleration of
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

- 9m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity  = 40m/s

Time taken  = 3s

Final velocity  = 13m/s

Unknown:

Acceleration of the car  = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time taken.

   Acceleration  = \frac{Final velocity  - Initial velocity }{Time taken}  

  Acceleration  = \frac{13  - 40 }{3}   = - 9m/s²
