Answer:

40 N/m

Explanation:

The diagram attached is used to answer the question

We know from Hooke's law that extension is directly proportional to the applied force hence

F=kx where x is extension, F is applied force and k is the spring constant. Making k the subject of the formula then

$k=\frac {F}{k}$

From the attached diagram extension is given by subtracting unstretched spring from stretched spring hence extension, x=1-0.5=0.5m

Substituting 20 N for F and 0.5 m for x then

$k=\frac {20}{0.5}=40 N/m$

Which of the following statements is an accurate description of sound transmission through various mediums?

klio [65]

The answer is D. Sound insulators prevent sound from being transmitted better than elastic solids because sound insulators basically muffle and block the sound waves.

An 81.5-kg man stands on a horizontal surface.

OLga [1]

Answer:

a)V= 0.0827 m³

b)P=181.11 x 10² N/m²

Explanation:

Given that

m = 81.5 kg

Density ,ρ = 985 kg/m³

As we know that

Mass = Volume x Density

81.5 = V x 985

V= 0.0827 m³

The force exerted by weight = m g

F= m g= 81.5 x 10 = 815 N ( Take ,g= 10 m/s²)

Area ,A= 4.5 x 10⁻² m²

The Pressure P

$P=\dfrac{F}{A}$

$P = \dfrac{815}{4.5\times 10^{-2}}\ N/m^2$

P=181.11 x 10² N/m²

A team of dogs accelerates a 290kg dogsled from 0 to 6.0m/s in 3.0 s. Assume that the acceleration is constant.Part AWhat is the

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

(a) $a=2m/sec^2$

(b) 5220 j

(d) 3446.66 watt

Explanation:

We have given mass m = 290 kg

Initial velocity u = 0 m/sec

Final velocity v = 6 m/sec

Time t = 3 sec

From first equation of motion

v = u+at

So $a=\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{6-0}{3}=2m/sec^2$

(a) We know that force is given by

F = ma

So force will be $F=290\times 2=580N$

(b) From second equation of motion we know that

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2=0\times 3+\frac{1}{2}\times 2\times 3^2=9m$

We know that work done is given by

W = F s = 580×9 =5220 j

We know that power is given as

$P=\frac{W}{t}=\frac{5220}{3}=1740Watt$

(d) Time t = 1.5 sec

So $P=\frac{W}{t}=\frac{5220}{1.5}=3466.66Watt$
