<u>Answer:</u>

2N/cm

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

According to the Hooke's Law, the force required to extend or compress a spring is directly proportional distance you can stretch it, which is represented as:

$F=kx$

where, $F$ is the force which is stretching or compressing the spring,

$k$ is the spring constant; and

$x$ is the distance the spring is stretched.

Substituting the given values to find the elastic constant $k$ to get:

$F=kx$

$4=k(2)$

$k=\frac{4}{2}$

$k=2$

Therefore, the elastic constant is 2 Newton/cm.

Two people, one with mass m1 and the other with mass m2, stand on a stationary sled with mass M on a frozen lake. Assume that th

lozanna [386]

Answer:

Part a)

Velocity of sled

$v = \frac{m_1 s}{m_1 + m_2 + M}$

velocity of first man who jump off

$v_1 = -\frac{(m_2 + M) s}{m_1 + m_2 + M}$

Part b)

Velocity of sled

$v_f = (\frac{m_1 s}{m_1 + m_2 + M}) + (\frac{m_2}{m_2 + M})s$

Also the speed of second person is given as

$v_2 = (\frac{m_1 s}{m_1 + m_2 + M}) - \frac{Ms}{m_2 + M}$

Part c)

change in kinetic energy of sled + two people is given as

$KE = \frac{1}{2}Mv_f^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2$

Explanation:

As we know that here we we consider both people + sled as a system then there is no external force on it

So here we can use momentum conservation

since both people + sled is at rest initially so initial total momentum is zero

now when first people will jump with relative velocity "s" then let say the sled + other people will move off with speed v

so by momentum conservation we have

$0 = m_1(v - s) + (m_2 + M)v$

$v = \frac{m_1 s}{m_1 + m_2 + M}$

so velocity of the sled + other person is

$v = \frac{m_1 s}{m_1 + m_2 + M}$

velocity of first man who jump off

$v_1 = \frac{m_1 s}{m_1 + m_2 + M} - s$

$v_1 = -\frac{(m_2 + M) s}{m_1 + m_2 + M}$

Part b)

now when other man also jump off with same relative velocity

so let say the sled is now moving with speed vf

so by momentum conservation we have

$(m_2 + M)(\frac{m_1 s}{m_1 + m_2 + M}) = m_2(v_f - s) + Mv_f$

$(m_2 + M)(\frac{m_1 s}{m_1 + m_2 + M}) + m_2s = (m_2 + M)v_f$

Now we have

$v_f = (\frac{m_1 s}{m_1 + m_2 + M}) + (\frac{m_2}{m_2 + M})s$

Also the speed of second person is given as

$v_2 = (\frac{m_1 s}{m_1 + m_2 + M}) + (\frac{m_2}{m_2 + M})s - s$

$v_2 = (\frac{m_1 s}{m_1 + m_2 + M}) - \frac{Ms}{m_2 + M}$

Part c)

change in kinetic energy of sled + two people is given as

$KE = \frac{1}{2}Mv_f^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2$

here we know all values of speed as we found it in part a) and part b)

Misha Larkins [42]

Complete Question:

Which technology is set up on the marketing team's phones?

a) Bluetooth

b) Tethering

c) NFC

d) Hotspot

Answer:

NFC

Explanation:

Near Field Communication (NFC) is a short-range wireless connectivity standard that uses magnetic field induction to enable communication between devices when brought within a few centimetres from each other. NFC offers a secured communication between connected electronic devices with simple setup that can be used to bootstrap more-capable wireless connections. It only covers a range of 10 cm to 20 cm.

None of the other options can transmit or share information for payments among the team except the NFC. NFC is also suitable for this setup because only a small range is expected to be covered.
