You, a 70 kg person, leap from a 10 m tall building and land feet first on a trampoline. The center of the trampoline where you

land sinks a total of 0.5 m before springing you back into the air. What is the spring constant for the trampoline?

Answer:

1373.4 N/m

Explanation:

Hooke's law states that the extension of a spring and force are related by the expression, F=kx where k is spring constant, x is extension of spring and F is the applied force. Making k the subject of the formula then

k=\frac {F}{x}

Also, F=gm hence the above formula is modified as

k=\frac {gm}{x}

Taking g as 9.81 m/s2 , x as 0.5 m and m as 70 kg then

k=\frac {9.81\times 70 kg}{0.5m}=1373.4 N/m

What is the specific heat of an object if it takes 1200 J to raise the temperature of a 20 kg object by 6 degrees C?
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

c=10\ J/kg^{\circ} C

Explanation:

Given that,

Heat required, Q = 1200 J

Mass of the object, m = 20 kg

The increase in temperature, \Delta T=6^{\circ} C

We need to find the specific heat of the object. The heat required to raise the temperature is given by :

Q=mc\Delta T\\\\c=\dfrac{Q}{m\Delta T}\\\\c=\dfrac{1200}{20\times 6}\\\\c=10\ J/kg^{\circ} C

So, the specific heat of the object is 10\ J/kg^{\circ} C.

A punted football hits the ground with a force of 50 N . According to Newton’s 3rd law of motion what also happens at the same e
Nadya [2.5K]

As per Newton's III law every action has equal and opposite reaction

So here we can say that

every body which apply force on other body must have a reaction force of same magnitude in opposite direction

So here if ball hits the ground by 50 N force then the ball must have a reaction force on itself with same magnitude and opposite direction

the magnitude of the force will be 50 N

and its direction is opposite to the force that ball apply on the floor
