<span>This is an example of work-energy theorem where it lets a person accumulate the strength of<span> the muscles over the duration of the swing, allowing much<span> bigger forces as the hammer hits the nail.
Moreover, the work done on an object by a net force is equals to the change in kinetic energy of the object, which is expressed as W = KEf - KEi. </span></span></span>
<span>Therefore, if the hammer hits the nail with twice the speed, it corresponds to 4 times the energy and four times the driving distance. If the hammer hits with three times the speed, the driving distance is 9 times as much.</span>

Answer:

50 N

Explanation:

Let the natural length of the spring = L

so

100 = k(40 - L)       (1)

200 = k(60 - L)       (2)

(2)/(1):   2 = (60 - L)/(40 - L)

60 - L = 2(40 - L)

60 - L = 80 - 2L

2L - L = 80 - 60

L = 20

Sub it into (1):

100 = k(40 - 20) = 20k

k = 100/20 = 5 N/in

Now

X = k(30 - L) = 5(30 - 20) = 50 N

a woman walks south at a speed of 2.0mph for 60 minutes. She then turns around and walks north at a distance of 3000m in 25 minu
TiliK225 [7]

When a  woman walks south at a speed of 2.0mph for 60 minutes. She then turns around and walks north at a distance of 3000m in 25 minutes. then the woman's average speed during her entire motion would be  73.15 meters /minute.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

The total distance covered by any object per unit of time is known as speed.

the mathematical expression for speed is given by

speed = total; distance /total time

As given in the problem a woman walks south at a speed of 2.0mph for 60 minutes

60 min = 1 hour

1 mile = 1.60934 km

The distance covered by her southwards  =  speed ×time

                                                                      =2 mph × 60 minutes

                                                                      = 3.218 km

She then turns around and walks north at a distance of 3000m in 25 minutes

The distance covered northward is 3000m

speed = total distance /total time

          =(3218 +3000) /(60+25)

          =73.15 meters /minutes

Thus, The average speed of the woman would be 73.15 meters /minute.

The speed of sound in air is approximately 340 m/s. The speed of light in air is approximately 3 x 108 m/s. If 10 seconds elapse
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

3400 m

Explanation:

Both lightning and thunder happen at the same time but one is faster than the other. The distance traveled by a sound can be calculated from its speed such that;

 speed = distance/time, hence, distance = speed x time.

<em>For a thunder with 340 m/s speed and 10 seconds away from lightning, the distance between the thunder and the lightning can be calculated as</em>;

distance = 340 m/s x 10 s = 3400 m

If u have a box with mass of 10kg and u push with a force of 200 N what is the acceleration of the box ?
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

20m/s²

Explanation:

force = mass*acceleration

acceleration = force ÷ mass

acceleration = 200N ÷ 10kg

acceleration = 20m/s²
