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

Svetllana [295]

formula= W=f*d

w=work done

f=force

d=distance

w=f*d

w= 5n*0(does not budge)means does not move so distance is zero

w=5J

The work done by the children on the sumo wrestler is 5J

A 3.5 kg object gains 76 J of potential energy as it is lifted vertically. Find the new height of the object?
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

1.72 m

Explanation:

Potential energy = mgh, where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity (9.8), and h is height

76 = (3.5)(9.8)h

76=44.1h

h=1.72335600907 ≈1.72 m

g When the movable mirror of the Michelson interferometer is moved a small distance X while making a measurement, 246 fringes ar
zhenek [66]

Answer:

X = 69.1 x 10⁻⁶ m = 69.1 μm

Explanation:

The relationship between the motion of the moveable mirror and the fringe count of the Michelson's Interferometer is given by the following formula:

d = mλ/2

where,

d = distance moved by the mirror = X = ?

m = No. of Fringes counted = 246

λ = wavelength of light entering interferometer = 562 nm = 5.62 x 10⁻⁷ m

Therefore,

X = (246)(5.62 x 10⁻⁷ m)/2

Therefore,

<u>X = 69.1 x 10⁻⁶ m = 69.1 μm</u>
