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

How does a crowbar work?
mylen [45]
It works by you putting leverage on one side makes more force go to the other side so if you put a crowbar in between a door and you push on one side the other will push the opposite side with more force<span />

The CERN particle accelerator is circular with a circumference of 7.0 km.
Contact [7]

Answer:

a_c=2.0196\times 10^{13}\ m/s^2

F=3.37273\times 10^{-14}\ N

Explanation:

m = Mass of proton = 1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg

v = Speed of proton = 0.5c = 0.5\times 3\times 10^8=1.5\times 10^8\ m/s

Circumference of the colider is 7 km

P=2\pi r\\\Rightarrow r=\frac{P}{2\pi}\\\Rightarrow r=\frac{7000}{2\pi}\ m

a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow a_c=\frac{\left(1.5\times 10^8\right)^2}{\frac{7000}{2\pi}}\\\Rightarrow a_c=2.0196\times 10^{13}\ m/s^2

Centripetal acceleration is 2.0196\times 10^{13}\ m/s^2

F_c=ma_c\\\Rightarrow F_c=1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 2.0196\times 10^{13}\\\Rightarrow F=3.37273\times 10^{-14}\ N

Force on protons is 3.37273\times 10^{-14}\ N

Answer:

64.945 miles per hour

Explanation:

Since the frequency of sound heard is higher than actual frequency, the ambulance is moving towards you!

The frequency of sound waves as heard from a distance for a sound wave coming towards one at v₀ m/s and whose real frequency is f₀ is given by

+f = f₀/[1 - (v₀/v)]

+f = frequency of sound as heard from the distance away = 8.61 KHz

f₀ = real frequency of sound = 7.87 KHz

v₀ = velocity at which the sound source is moving towards the reference point = ?

v = velocity of sound waves = 343 m/s

8.61 = 7.87/(1 - (v₀/v))

1 - (v₀/343) = 0.9141

v₀/343 = 1 - 0.9141 = 0.0859

v₀ = 343 × 0.0859 = 29.48 m/s = 64.945 miles per hour

For each of the problems below, you will need to draw a graph to find the solution.
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Final velocity (v) of an object equals initial velocity (u) of that object plus acceleration (a) of the object times the elapsed time (t) from u to v. Use standard gravity, a = 9.80665 m/s2, for equations involving the Earth's gravitational force as the acceleration rate of an object.

The following picture shows some give reasons. Please answer it and I will mark you as brainliest......
kaheart [24]

a) earth acts as a lange magnetic. Therefore when a magnet is hanging freely, it points towards the magnetic poles (like a compass)

b) like poles repel and unlike poles attracts. We can conclude with repulsion that poles are same

c) In our everyday experience aluminum doesn't stick to magnets. (under normal circumstances aluminum isn't visibly magnetic)
