Answer:

29.16 J

Explanation:

From Hook's law,

W = 1/2(ke²)..................... Equation 1

Where W = work done, k = Spring constant, e = extension.

Given: W = 9 J, e = 0.5 m.

Substitute into equation 1

9 = 1/2(k×0.5²)

Solve for k

k = 18/0.5²

k = 72 N/m.

The work done required to stretch the spring by additional 0.4 m is

W = 1/2(72)(0.4+0.5)²

W = 36(0.9²)

W = 29.16 J.

A student (m = 68 kg) falls freely from rest and strikes the ground. During the collision with the ground, he comes to rest in a
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

5.7141 m

Explanation:

Here the potential and kinetic energy will balance each other

mgh=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gh}

This is the initial velocity of the system and the final velocity is 0

t = Time taken = 0.04 seconds

F = Force = 18000 N

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Equation of motion

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v-u}{t}

From Newton's second law

F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=m\frac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow 18000=68\frac{0-\sqrt{2gh}}{0.04}\\\Rightarrow \frac{18000}{68}\times 0.04=-\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times h}\\\Rightarrow 10.58823=-\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times h}

Squarring both sides

112.11061=2\times 9.81\times h\\\Rightarrow h=\frac{112.11061}{2\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow h=5.7141\ m

The height from which the student fell is 5.7141 m

A stationary boat in the ocean is experiencing waves from a storm. The waves move at 59 km/h and have a wavelength of 145 m . Th
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The time elapses until the boat is first at the trough of a wave is 4.46 seconds.

Explanation:

Speed of the wave, v = 59 km/h = 16.38 m/s

Wavelength of the wave, \lambda=145\ m

If f is the frequency of the wave. The frequency of a wave is given by :

v=f\lambda\\\\f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{16.38\ m/s}{145\ m}\\\\f=0.112\ Hz

The time period of the wave is given by :

T=\dfrac{1}{f}\\\\T=\dfrac{1}{0.112\ Hz}\\\\T=8.92\ s

We need to find the time elapses until the boat is first at the trough of a wave. So, the time will be half of the time period of the wave.

T=\dfrac{8.92}{2}\\\\T=4.46\ s

Hence, this is the required solution.
