Answer:

W = 0.012 J

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Hooke's law to find the spring constant

         F = K Δx

         K = F / Δx

         K = 3 / (0.16 - 0.11)

         K = 60 N / m

Work is defined by

         W = F. x = F x cos θ

in this case the force and the displacement go in the same direction therefore the angle is zero and the cosine is equal to 1

         W = ∫ F dx        

         W = k ∫ x dx

we integrate

         W = k x² / 2

          W = ½ k x²

let's calculate

         W = ½ 60 (0.19 -0.17)²

         W = 0.012 J

Identify and sketch all the external forces acting on the chair. because the chair can be represented as a point particle of mas
SOVA2 [1]

There are two external force acts on the chair.

1. The force due to earth gravity, acts in the downward direction.

2. Reaction force of the gravity, which acts in the Upward direction (Normal Force).

On every object, there is a force acts due to gravity of earth, which pulls the object towards the centre of earth, known as gravity force, always acts in the downward direction. Mathematically it's given as

F=mg

here, m is the mass of the object, and g is the acceleration of gravity.

To balance this gravity force, a counter force acts in the opposite direction, whose magnitude is equal to the force of gravity

Estimate the number of times the earth will rotate on its axis during a human’s lifetime
Fudgin [204]

Here we have to calculate  the number of rotations made by earth around its own axis in the entire life time of a human being.

The average human life is 50 years .

Each year is 365.5 days

Hence 50 years =50 *365.5 days

                 =18,275 days

The earth rotates around its own axis in 23 hours 56 minutes and 4 second which is approximately equal to 24 hours or one days.

Hence one rotation takes one days.

⇒18,275 days =18,275 rotations

Hence the total number of rotations made by earth around its own axis in the life time of a average human life time will be 18,275 times

Why does the frequency of a siren get higher as an ambulance using that siren gets closer
Nadya [2.5K]
The frequency of a wave becomes higher due to the object moving at a fast pace coming towards you with shorter wavelengths  (depending on the speed) aka the Doppler Effect. 
Hope this helps

In which one of the following circumstances could mechanical energy not possibly be conserved, even if friction and air resistan
qwelly [4]

Answer:

A car moves up a hill at a constant velocity

Explanation:

Since the velocity is constant, the speed is also constant and so is the kinetic energy. However, total mechanical energy is sum of gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy, and the car is moving up the hill so its potential energy rises.

Thus, in the circumstances described the mechanical energy cannot be conserved.

The correct answer is A car moving up the hill with constant velocity.
