It is weigh-in time for the local under 85 kg rugby team. The bathroom scale that is used to assess eligibility can be described

by Hooke's law, which is depressed 0.81 cm for its maximum load of 119 kg. What is the scale's effective spring constant k ?

Answer:

143975.31 N/m

Explanation:

Hook's law: Hook's law states that the force applied to an elastic material is directly proportional to its extension, provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded.

From Hook's law,

F = ke................... Equation 1

Where F = applied force, k = spring constant, e = extension/depression.

Make k the subject of the equation,

k = F/e ................. Equation 2

From the question,

The weight acting on the bathroom scale is the same as the applied force.

F = mg................ Equation 3

Substitute equation 3 into equation 2

k = mg/e ............. Equation 4

Given: m = 119 kg, e = 0.81 cm = 0.0081 m.

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 4

k = 119(9.8)/(0.0081)

k = 143975.31 N/m.

Hence the effective spring constant = 143975.31 N/m

11m if you add 6+5 you get 11 but of course you need the “m” in the mix so 11m but correct me if I’m wrong.

Which object represents a negatively charged particle? which object represents a positively charged molecule? which object repre
kari74 [83]

The answers to your questions are as written below:

  • The objects that represents a negatively charged particle is : Image B
  • The object that represents a positively charged molecule is : Image A
  • The object that represents an uncharged molecule is : Image C
  • The object the will not move when in an electric fied is : Image C

<h3>Different types of charges molecules</h3>

A negatively charged molecule move inwards when placed in an electric field while positively charged molecule placed in a electric field will move outwards the electric field.

A neutral/uncharged molecule will remains still when placd in an elctric field due to the absence of charges.

Hence we can concude that the answers to your questions are as listed above.

Adolf and Ed are wearing harnesses and are hanging at rest from the ceiling by means of ropes attached to them. Face to face, th
exis [7]

Answer:

0.78 m

Explanation:

By the conservation of energy, the energy that they gain from potential energy, must be equal to the kinetic energy. So, for Adolf:

Ep = Ek

ma*g*ha = ma*va²/2

Where ma is the mass of Adolf, g is the gravity acceleration (10 m/s²), ha is the height that he reached, and va is the velocity. So:

100*10*0.51 = 100*va²/2

50va² = 510

va² = 10.2

va = √10.2

va = 3.20 m/s

Before the push, both of them are in rest, so the momentum must be 0. The system is conservative, so the momentum after the push must be equal to the momentum before the push:

ma*va + me*ve = 0, where me and ve are the mass and velocity of Ed. So:

100*3.20 + 81ve = 0

81ve = 320

ve = 3.95 m/s

By the conservation of energy for Ed:

me*g*he = me*ve²/2

81*10*he = 81*(3.95)²/2

810he = 631.90

he = 0.78 m
