A student places her 490 g physics book on a frictionless table. She pushes the book against a spring, compressing the spring by
Paul [167]

Answer:

book speed is 3.99 m/s

Explanation:

given data

mass m = 490 g = 0.490 kg

compressing x = 7.10 cm = 0.0710 m

spring constant k = 1550 N/m

to find out

book speed

solution

we know energy is conserve so

we can say

loss in spring energy is equal to gain in kinetic energy

so

\frac{1}{2}*k*x^2 = \frac{1}{2}*m*v^2    ..................1

put here value

\frac{1}{2}*1550*0.071^2 = \frac{1}{2}*0.490*v^2

v = 3.99 m/s

so book speed is 3.99 m/s

A large spool in an electrician's workshop has 65 m of insulation-coated wire coiled around it. When the electrician connects a
Art [367]

Answer:

40.34\ \text{m}

Explanation:

L_1 = Length of wire = 65 m

I_1 = Initial current = 1.8 A

I_2 = Final current = 2.9 A

We know

R\propto \dfrac{1}{I}

and

R\propto L

\dfrac{V}{I}\propto L\\\Rightarrow L\propto \dfrac{1}{I}

so

\dfrac{L_2}{L_1}=\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}\\\Rightarrow L_2=\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}L_1\\\Rightarrow L_2=\dfrac{1.8}{2.9}\times 65\\\Rightarrow L_2=40.34\ \text{m}

The length of the wire remaining on the spool is 40.34\ \text{m}.

Jason applies a force of 4.00 newtons to a sled at an angle 62.0 degrees from the ground. What is the component of force effecti
kaheart [24]
You want to draw a free body diagram of the forces on the sled in the horizontal x-direction.

If you visualize the system in an x-y coordinate plane, the force along the x-direction is the angle it makes with the x-axis multiples by the force.

The angle made with the x-axis is cosine of the angle theta.

Please see picture attached.

Avery likes to walk 30 feet in 10<br>seconds. What is her speed?​
Sliva [168]

Answer:

If she is walking 30 feet every 10 seconds, that means she is walking 180 feet per minute. Multiply that by the 60 minutes in an hour, means she walks (180x60)= 10,800 feet an hour.

She walks 3 feet a second.

She walks 180 feet a minute.

She walks 10,800 feet an hour.
