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

At the end of a bike ride up a mountain, Chris was at an elevation of 500 meters above where he started. If Chris's mass is 60kg
lawyer [7]

294000J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Height of hill = 500m

Mass of Chris = 60kg

Unknown:

Potential energy increase = ?

Solution:

Potential energy is the energy by virtue of the position of a body.

  Potential energy = mgh

m is the mass of the bike

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

At the base of the hill,

    P.E = mgh = 60 x 9.8 x 0 = 0J

At the top:

    P.E = mgh = 60 x 9.8 x 500 = 294000J

Potential energy increase = 294000J - 0J = 294000J

The voltage across a membrane forming a cell wall is 72.7 mV and the membrane is 9.22 nm thick. What is the magnitude of the ele
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

The  magnitude of the  electric field intensity is  E =  7.89  *10^{6} \ V/m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  voltage is  \epsilon     =  72.7 \ mV  =  72.7 *10^{-3}  V

    The  thickness of the membrane is  t =  9.22 \ nm  =  9.22 *10^{-9} \ m

     

Generally the electric field intensity is mathematically represented as

                E =  \frac{\epsilon }{t}

 substituting values

                E =  \frac{72.7 *10^{-3} }{9.22 *10^{-9}}

                E =  7.89  *10^{6} \ V/m

if the Horse and Rider have a combined mass of 572 kg what force would be required to accelerate them 5 kph per second
Vlad [161]

Answer:

   Force required to accelerate = 794.44 N

Explanation:

 Force required = Mass of horse x Acceleration of horse

 Mass of horse and rider, m=   572 kg

 Acceleration of horse and rider, a = 5 kph per second

                                      =\frac{5*1000}{60*60} =1.39 m/s^2

  Force required = ma

                             = 572 x 1.39 = 794.44 N

  Force required to accelerate = 794.44 N
