Answer:

The power exerted by the student is 51.2 W

Explanation:

Given;

extension of the elastic band, x = 0.8 m

time taken to stretch this distance, t = 0.5 seconds

the spring constant, k = 40 N/m

Apply Hook's law;

F = kx

where;

F is the force applied to the elastic band

k is the spring constant

x is the extension of the elastic band

F = 40 x 0.8

F = 32 N

The power exerted by the student is calculated as;

P = Fv

where;

F is the applied force

v is velocity = d/t

P = F x (d/t)

P = 32 x (0.8 /0.5)

P = 32 x 1.6

P = 51.2 W

Therefore, the power exerted by the student is 51.2 W

A 9.5 kg object undergoes an acceleration of 3.3m/s^2. What is the magnitude of the next external force acting on it
Black_prince [1.1K]

The net external force is 31.4 N

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by applying Newton's second law, which states that the net force acting on an object is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:

F=ma

where

F is the net force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

For the object in this problem, we have:

m = 9.5 kg is the mass

a=3.3 m/s^2 is the acceleration

Solving for F, we find the net force:

F=(9.5)(3.3)=31.4 N

A 4.5-kg object oscillates on a horizontal spring with an amplitude of 3.8 cm. Its maximum acceleration is 26 m/s2 . Find (a) th
zimovet [89]

Answer:

F = - K X     force constant for spring

a = F / m      maximum acceleration

F = 4.5 kg * 26 m/s^2 = 117 Newtons

(A)  K = 117 N / .038 m = 3079 N/m

ω = (K/M)^1/2 = (117/5)^1/2 = 4.84 / sec

(B) f = ω / 2 pi = 4.84 / 6.28 = .77 /sec

(C) P = 1 / f = 1/.77   = 1.30 sec
