Answer: k = 1163.72 N/m²

Explanation: if the bow obeys hook's law, then force is proportional to extension.

F = ke.

F= Force = 263 N

k = force constant

e = extension = 0.226m

263 = k * 0.226

k = 263/ 0.226

k = 1163.72 N/m²

<h2>Answer:</h2>

1163.7N/m

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

When a force caused by an object is applied to a spring, the spring applies an equal and opposite force to that object. This is evident in Hooke's law which states that the force(F) applied to a spring, either to cause extension or compression, is directly proportional to the length of the extension or compression (x). i.e

F = k x            ---------------------(i)

Where k is the proportionality constant called <em>spring constant.</em>

<em />

<em>Given;</em>

F = force exerted on the bowstring = 263N

x = length of extension = 0.226m

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

263 = k (0.226)

<em>Solve for k;</em>

k = 263 / 0.226

k = 1163.7N/m

Therefore, the spring constant of the bow is 1163.7N/m

lukranit [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the time required for acceleration a₁ and deceleration a₂ be t₁ and t₂ .

Since final velocity during acceleration and initial velocity during deceleration are same

a₁ t₁ = a₂ t₂

5t₁ = 2 t₂ ------------------------------------------ ( 1 )

Distance travelled during acceleration = 1/2 a₁t₁²

= 1/2 x 5 x t₁² = 2.5 t₁²

Distance travelled during deceleration = 1/2 a₂t₂²

= 1/2 x 2 x t₂² = t₂²

Total distance travelled = 2 miles = 2 x 1760 x 3 ft = 10560

2.5 t₁² + t₂² = 10560

2.5 ( 2t₂ / 5  )² + t₂² = 10560

.4 t₂² + t₂² = 10560

1.4 t₂² = 10560

t₂ = 86.85 s

t₁ = 2t₂ / 5 = 34.75 s

t₁ + t₂ = 121.6 = 122 s

Total time taken = 122 s .

maximum velocity = a₁t₁

= 5 x 34.75 = 173.75 = 174 m/s .

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Seat belts are among the most common and effective safety devices ever invented. Since their introduction, seat belts have saved countless lives and prevented many injuries. But making it mandatory to wear seat belts has been a slow process, as they were required by law in each state at a different time.

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

4.846*10^{-5} sin(5*10^{14}t )

Explanation:

Frequency of each electromagnetic wave is same thus we can interfere them along X axis in Phase diagram.

In phase diagram indicate each wave as vector with amplitude as length and phase difference as angle. (shown in attachment)

Now take component of E2 and E3 amplitude along X direction.

Net amplitude of all E in X direction = 4*10^{-5} + cos(45)[ 6*10^{-6} +  6*10^{-6} ]

⇒  4.846*10^{-5}

Final resultant have no change in frequency

So , resultant is 4.846*10^{-5} sin(5*10^{14}t )
