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

gs arranged side by side so that they are parallel to each other. When you push the platform, you compress the springs. You do 80.0 J of work when you compress the springs 0.180 m from their uncompressed length.
What magnitude of force must you apply to hold the platform in this position?

Answer:

The magnitude of force must you apply to hold the platform in this position = 888.89 N

Explanation:

Given that :

Workdone (W) = 80.0 J

length x = 0.180 m

The equation  for this  work done by the spring is expressed as:

W = \frac{1}{2}k_{eq}x^2

Making the spring constant k_{eq} the subject of the formula; we have:

k_{eq} = \frac{2W}{x^2}

Substituting our given values, we have:

k_{eq} = \frac{2*80}{0.180^2}

k_{eq} = 4938.27 \ N.m^{-1}

The magnitude of the force that must be apply  to the hold platform in this position is given by the formula :

F = k_{eq}x

F = 4938.27*0.180

F = 888.89 N

In lab, your instructor generates a standing wave using a thin string of length L = 1.65 m fixed at both ends. You are told that
erik [133]

Answer:

On the standing waves on a string, the first antinode is one-fourth of a wavelength away from the end. This means

\frac{\lambda}{4} = 0.275~m\\\lambda = 1.1~m

This means that the relation between the wavelength and the length of the string is

3\lambda/2 = L

By definition, this standing wave is at the third harmonic, n = 3.

Furthermore, the standing wave equation is as follows:

y(x,t) = (A\sin(kx))\sin(\omega t) = A\sin(\frac{\omega}{v}x)\sin(\omega t) = A\sin(\frac{2\pi f}{v}x)\sin(2\pi ft) = A\sin(\frac{2\pi}{\lambda}x)\sin(\frac{2\pi v}{\lambda}t) = (2.45\times 10^{-3})\sin(5.7x)\sin(59.94t)

The bead is placed on x = 0.138 m. The maximum velocity is where the derivative of the velocity function equals to zero.

v_y(x,t) = \frac{dy(x,t)}{dt} = \omega A\sin(kx)\cos(\omega t)\\a_y(x,t) = \frac{dv(x,t)}{dt} = -\omega^2A\sin(kx)\sin(\omega t)

a_y(x,t) = -(59.94)^2(2.45\times 10^{-3})\sin((5.7)(0.138))\sin(59.94t) = 0

For this equation to be equal to zero, sin(59.94t) = 0. So,

59.94t = \pi\\t = \pi/59.94 = 0.0524~s

This is the time when the velocity is maximum. So, the maximum velocity can be found by plugging this time into the velocity function:

v_y(x=0.138,t=0.0524) = (59.94)(2.45\times 10^{-3})\sin((5.7)(0.138))\cos((59.94)(0.0524)) = 0.002~m/s

Why is electric current scalar quantity with having direction ?​
frez [133]

Explanation:

It represents the direction of flow of positive charge but is treated as a scalar quantity because current follows the laws of scalar addition and not the laws of vector addition. The angle between the wires carrying current does not affect the total current in the circuit.

Coal and other fossil fuels are considered to be "nonrenewable" sources of energy. How does the use of nonrenewable fuels affect
nignag [31]

Answer: D Although the total energy remains constant, nonrenewable fuels convert chemical energy into forms that are difficult or impossible to use again.

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics says that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; energy can only be transferred or changed from one form to another.

Roller coasters accelerates from initial speed of 6.0 M/S2 final speed of 70 M/S over four seconds. What is the acceleration?
choli [55]

Answer:

a=16\ m/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Motion With Constant Acceleration </u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes uniformly in time.

The formula to calculate the change of velocities is:

v_f=v_o+at

Where:

a   = acceleration

vo = initial speed

vf  = final speed

t    = time

The roller coaster moves from vo=6 m/s to vf=70 m/s in t=4 seconds. To calculate the acceleration, solve for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

\displaystyle a=\frac{70-6}{4}=\frac{64}{4}

\boxed{a=16\ m/s^2}
