To solve this problem it is necessary to use the concepts of Force of a spring through Hooke's law, therefore,

F = kx

Where,

k = Spring constant

x = Displacement

Initially our values are given,

F = 685N

x = 0.88 cm

PART A ) With this values we can calculate the spring constant rearranging the previous equation,

k = \frac{F}{x}

k = \frac{685}{0.88*10^-2}

k = 77840.9N/m

PART B) Since the constant is unique to the spring, we can now calculate the force through the new elongation (0.38cm), that is

F = kx

F = (77840.9)(0.0038)

F = 295.79N

Therefore the weight of another person is 265.79N.

Determine the magnitude of the current flowing through a 4.7 kilo ohms resistor if the voltage across it is (a) 1mV (b) 10 V (c)
mariarad [96]

Answer:

213 nA

2.13 mA

851e^-t μA

Explanation:

We have a pretty straightforward question here.

Ohms Law states that the current in an electric circuit is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance in the circuit. It is mathematically written as

V = IR, since we need I, we can write that

I = V/R

a) at V = 1 mV

I = (1 * 10^-3) / 4.7 * 10^3

I = 2.13 * 10^-7 A or 213 nA

b) at V = 10 V

I = 10 / 4.7 * 10^3

I = 0.00213 A or 2.13 mA

c) at V = 4e^-t

I = 4e^-t / 4.7 * 10^3

I = 0.000851e^-t A or 851e^-t μA

Es frecuente que en las instalaciones eléctricas domésticas se utilice alambre de cobre de 2.05 mm de diámetro. Determine la res
Tasya [4]

Answer:

The resistance is 0.124 ohm.

Explanation:

It is common for domestic electrical installations to use copper wire with a diameter of 2.05 mm. Determine the resistance of such a wire with a length of 24.0 m.

diameter, d = 2.05 mm

radius, r = 1.025 mm

Length, L = 24 m

resistivity of copper = 1.7 x 10^-8 ohm m

Let the resistance is R.

R =\rho \frac{L}{A}\\\\R = \frac {1.7\times10^{-8}\times 24}{3.14\times1.025\times1.025\times 10^{-6}}\\\\R = 0.124 ohm

An automobile of mass 2000 kg moving at 30 m/s is braked suddenly with a constant braking force of 10000 N. How far does the car
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

The car traveled the distance before stopping is 90 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of automobile = 2000 kg

speed = 30 m/s

Braking force = 10000 N

For, The acceleration is

Using newton's formula

F = ma

Where, f = force

m= mass

a = acceleration

Put the value of F and m into the formula

-10000 =2000\times a

Negative sing shows the braking force.

It shows the direction of force is opposite of the motion.

a = -\dfrac{10000}{2000}

a=-5\ m/s^2

For the distance,

Using third equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as

Where, v= final velocity

u = initial velocity

a = acceleration

s = stopping distance of car

Put the value in the equation

0-30^2=2\times(-5)\times s

s = 90\ m

Hence, The car traveled the distance before stopping is 90 m.

Answer the following question​
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

A) OA, AB, BC

B) 25m/s^2

C) see explanation

D) 25

E) Rest

Explanation:

From the Velocity time graph shown:

The positive slope = OA ; This is positive because, it is the point of uniform acceleration on the graph.

Constant slope = AB, the slope here is constant because, AB on the graph is the point of constant velocity.

-ve slope = BC

B) Acceleration of body in path OA.

Acceleration = change in Velocity / time

Acceleration = (150 - 0) / 6

Acceleration = 150/6 = 25m/s^2

C) Path AB is Parallel to the because it marks the period of constant velocity (that is Velocity does not increase or decrease during the time interval).

D) Length of BC

BC corresponds to the distance moved, that velocity / time

Velocity = 150 ; time = 6

Therefore Distance (BC) = 150/6 = 25

E.) Velocity =0 ; Hence body is at rest

A proton is projected into a magnetic field that is directed along the positive x axis. Find the direction of the magnetic force
bulgar [2K]

Te direction of the magnetic force for the velocity of the proton in the

-ve  y direction will be +ve z direction.

As we know that the right-hand rule is based on the relation of magnetic fields and the forces that they exert on moving charges.When a charged particle moves under a magnetic field, it exerts a force on the particle, which is not in the same direction but different than the direction of the magnetic field.Under the right-hand rule,  if we point our pointer finger in the direction of the charged particle is moving and the middle finger is representing the direction of the magnetic field then our thumb depicts the direction of the magnetic force which is exerted on the charged particle.

So,  we are given that the direction of the velocity of the proton is in the negative y direction and the direction of the magnetic field is in the positive x  direction,  so the magnetic force is acting in the positive z direction.

To know  more about the right-hand rule refer to the link brainly.com/question/9750730?referrer=searchResults.
