Work needed: 720 J

Explanation:

The work needed to stretch a spring is equal to the elastic potential energy stored in the spring when it is stretched, which is given by

E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

where

k is the spring constant

x is the stretching of the spring from the equilibrium position

In this problem, we have

E = 90 J (work done to stretch the spring)

x = 0.2 m (stretching)

Therefore, the spring constant is

k=\frac{2E}{x^2}=\frac{2(90)}{(0.2)^2}=4500 N/m

Now we can find what is the work done to stretch the spring by an additional 0.4 m, that means to a total displacement of

x = 0.2 + 0.4 = 0.6 m

Substituting,

E'=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}(4500)(0.6)^2=810 J

Therefore, the additional work needed is

\Delta E=E'-E=810-90=720 J

the olympic swimmer swims to the end of the 50 m pool and back 4 times. calculate the distance covered.
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

400 m

Explanation:

The swimmer swims 50 meters to one end of the pool but has to swim back therefore you double 50 which would be 100 meters. Then you have to multiply 100 by 4 since the swimmer did it 4 times.

The volume of a gas is 605 liters at 27.0°C. The new temperature is -3.0°C. What is the new volume?
nlexa [21]
From p1v1/t1 = p2v2/t2
pressure unchanged ... cancelled out
v1=605 , t1=27C = 300K,
t2=-3C = 270K
***remember temperature must be in Kelvin
we got
605/300 = v2/270
v2 = 545

How much power is needed to lift a 20-kg object to a height of 4.0 m in 2.5 seconds?
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

313.92w

Explanation:

Formula for power:

P=W/∆t = Fv

Givens:

m=20kg

∆y=4.0m

∆t=2.5s

a=9.81m/s²

In order to find power, we first need to solve for work.

W=Fd (force*displacement), f=mg

W=mg∆y

W=(20kg)(9.81m/s²)(4.0m)

W=784.8J

P=W/∆t

P=784.8J/2.5s

P=313.92 watts
