If you stand on a bathroom scale,the spring inside the scale compresses 0.50 mm, and it tells you your weight is 700 N. Now if y

Initially, mg = kx. K = mg/x = 700/0.5x10^-3 = 1400000N/m. From second condition, applying work-energy theorem, potential enery- elastic potential energy = change in kinetic energy. Now change in kinetic energy is 0 since initial and final velocities are 0m/s. Therefore, potential energy = elastic potential energy. mgh = (1/2) * k* x^2. x^2 = 2(mg)h/k = 2 x 700 x 1.3/ 1400000. x = 0.036m. Hope it's clear.

stellarik [79]

<h3> $\huge\underline\bold\blue{ƛƝƧƜЄƦ}$ </h3><h3>Given</h3>

$\blue\star$ v = 20m\s

$\blue\star$ a = 3m\s^2

$\blue\star$ t = 4sec

Firstly we have to find u

$\star$ a = $\dfrac{v - u}{t}$

$\star$ 3m\s = $\dfrac{20 - u}{4}$

$\star$ 12m\s = 20 - u

$\star$ 20 - u = 12m\s

$\star$ - u = -8

$\star$ u = 8

Now we can easily find distance by using second equation of motion

$\red\star$ s = ut + 1\2 at^2

$\red\star$ s = 8(4) + 1\2(3)(16)

$\red\star$ s = 32 + 24

$\red\star$ s = 56

So distance is 56 m\s hope it helps

The velocity of an object is the distance it travels per unit time. Suppose the velocity of a gilding bird is measured to be 52.

Elanso [62]

Answer:

$d=7.115s$

Explanation:

What problem says can be written mathematically as:

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

Where:

$v=Velocity\\t=Time\\d=Distance$

The problem itself it's really simple, we only need to replace the data provided in the previous equation, but first, let's convert the units of the velocity from cm/s to m/s because we have to work with the same units and working in meters is the most apropiate action, because is the base unit of length in the International System of Units:

$52\frac{cm}{s} *\frac{1m}{100cm} =0.52\frac{m}{s}$

Now, we can replace the data in the equation and find the time it will take the bird to travel 3.7 m:

$0.52=\frac{3.7}{t}$

Solving for t, multiplying by t both sides, and dividing by 0.52 both sides:

$t=\frac{3.7}{0.52} =7.115384615s\approx7.115s$

A 57.0 kg cheerleader uses an oil-filled hydraulic lift to hold four 120 kg football players at a height of 1.10 m. If her pisto

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

The diameter of the piston of the players equals 55.136 cm.

Explanation:

from the principle of transmission of pressure in a hydraulic lift we have

$\frac{F_{1}}{A_{1}}=\frac{F_{2}}{A_{1}}$

Since the force in the question is the weight of the individuals thus upon putting the values in the above equation we get

$\frac{57.0\times 9.81}{\frac{\pi \times (19.0)^{2}}{4}}=\frac{4\times 120\times 9.81}{\frac{\pi \times D_{2}^{2}}{4}}$

Solving for $D_{2}$ we get

$D_{2}^{2}=\frac{4\times 120}{57}\times 19^{2}\\\\\therefore D_{2}=\sqrt{\frac{4\times 120}{57}}\times 19\\\\D_{2}=55.136cm$

An undiscovered planet, many lightyears from Earth, has one moon in a periodic orbit. This moon takes 2010 × 103 seconds (about

vazorg [7]

Answer:

Radial acceleration of moon is $a_{r} = 2.246\times 10^{-3}$ $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$

Explanation:

Given :

Time period $T = 1.987 \times 10^{6}$ sec

Distance from center of moon to planet $r = 225 \times 10^{6}$ m

From the equation of radial acceleration,

$a_{r} = r\omega ^{2}$

Where $\omega = 2\pi f = \frac{2\pi }{T}$

So $\omega = 3.16 \times 10^{-6} \frac{rad}{s}$

Now moon's radial acceleration,

$a_{r} = 225 \times 10^{6} \times (3.16 \times 10^{-6} )^{2}$

$a_{r} = 2246.76 \times 10^{-6}$

$a_{r} = 2.246\times 10^{-3}$ $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$
