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

A light, rigid rod is 55.8 cm long. Its top end is pivoted on a frictionless horizontal axle. The rod hangs straight down at res
VMariaS [17]

To solve this problem we will apply the principle of conservation of energy. For this purpose, potential energy is equivalent to kinetic energy, and this clearly depends on the position of the body. In turn, we also note that the height traveled is twice that of the rigid rod, therefore applying these concepts we will have

KE = PE

\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = mgh

v = \sqrt{2gh}

v = \sqrt{2(9.8)(2(55.8*10^{-2}))}

v = 4.67m/s

Therefore the minimum speed at the bottom is required to make the ball go over the top of the circle is 4.67m/s

What change does this cause concerning weather?
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

More extreme weather.

Explanation:

The Conveyor Belt of tides functions on a local and global level to spread out the cold and hot temperature differences on the planet. It is a delicate but important process that is easily disrupted, which causes it to slow down. And when it slows down, all those temperature differences will become more concentrated, causing colder places to be colder and hotter places to be hotter, ultimately leading to more extreme weather events as these cold and hot spots collide more violently than before.

Here's a picture I found on it:

A fireman of 80 kg slides down a pole.When he reaches the bottom, 4.2 m below his starting point, his speed is 2.2 m/s . By how
levacccp [35]

Answer:

3099 J

Explanation:

The increase in thermal energy corresponds to the mechanical energy lost in the process.

The mechanical energy is given by the sum of gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy of the fireman:

E=K+U

At the top of the pole, the fireman has no kinetic energy, so all his mechanical energy is just potential energy:

E=U=mgh=(80 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(4.2 m)=3293 J

When the fireman reaches the bottom, he has no gravitational potential energy, so his mechanical energy is just given by his kinetic energy:

E=K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}(80 kg)(2.2 m/s)^2=194 J

So, the loss in mechanical energy was

\Delta E=3293 J-194 J=3099 J

and this corresponds to the increase in thermal energy.
