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 baseball rolls off a 1.20m high desk and strikes the floor 0.50m away from the base of the desk . How fast was it rolling?
noname [10]

The initial velocity of the ball is 1.01 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the ball rolling off the desk is a projectile motion, which consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform horizontal motion with constant horizontal velocity

- A vertical accelerated motion with constant acceleration (g=9.8 m/s^2, acceleration due to gravity)

We start by analyzing the vertical motion: we can find the time of flight of the ball by using the following suvat equation

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

s = 1.20 m is the vertical displacement (the height of the desk)

u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity

g=9.8 m/s^2

t is the time of flight

Solving for t,

t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(1.20)}{9.8}}=0.495 s

Now we analyze the horizontal motion. We know that the ball covers a horizontal distance of

d = 0.50 m

in a time

t = 0.495 s

Therefore, since the horizontal velocity is constant, we can calculate it as

v_x = \frac{d}{t}=\frac{0.50}{0.495}=1.01 m/s

So, the ball rolls off the table at 1.01 m/s.

At which angle must a laser beam enter the water for no refraction to occur?
abruzzese [7]

Light that enters the new medium <em>perpendicular to the surface</em> keeps sailing straight through the new medium unrefracted (in the same direction).

Perpendicular to the surface is the "normal" to the surface. So the angle of incidence (angle between the laser and the normal) is zero, and the law of refraction (just like the law of reflection) predicts an angle of zero between the normal and the refracted (or the reflected) beam.

Moral of the story:  If you want your laser to keep going in the same direction after it enters the water, or to bounce back in the same direction it came from when it hits the mirror, then shoot it <em>straight on</em> to the surface, perpendicular to it.

Can a vector be shorter than one of its components
Sauron [17]
It can never be shorter than a component - magnitude of avector is the square root of the sum of the components squared, and a square function never produces a negative number. However, it can be the same size as its component, if that component is the only one
