(a) the weight of the fish is:
W=mg=(3.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=34.3 N
and this is the force that stretches the spring by x=3.7 cm=0.037 m. So, we can use Hook's law to find the constant of the spring:
k= \frac{F}{x}= \frac{34.3 N}{0.037 m}=927.0 N/m

(b) The fish is pulled down by 2.8 cm = 0.028 m more, so now the total stretch of the spring is
x'=3.7 cm+2.8 cm=6.5 cm
But this is also the amplitude of the new oscillation, because this is the maximum extension the spring can get, so A=6.5 cm.

The angular frequency of oscillation is given by:
\omega= \sqrt{ \frac{k}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{927.0 N/m}{3.5 kg} }=16.3 Hz
and so the frequency is given by
f= \frac{\omega}{2 \pi} = \frac{16.3 Hz}{2 \pi}=2.6 Hz

Karen runs sets in basketball practice. She starts from a line runs 2.0 m, returns to the line, runs 4.0 m, to the line, runs 6.

D. distance = 23 m, displacement = + 1 m

Explanation:

Let's remind the difference between distance and displacement:

- distance is a scalar, and is the total length covered by an object, counting all the movements in any direction

- displacement is a vector connecting the starting point and the final point of a motion, so its magnitude is given by the length of this vector, and its direction is given by the direction of this vector.

In this case, the distance covered by Karen is given by the sum of all its movements:

distance = 2.0 m + 2.0 m+4.0 m+4.0 m +6.0 + 5.0 m=23.0 m

The displacement instead is given by the difference between the final point (1.0 m in front of the starting line) and the starting point (the starting line, 0 m):

displacement = +1.0 m-0 m=+1 m

A man is dragging a trunk up the loading ramp of a mover’s truck. The ramp has a slope angle of 20.0°, and the man pulls upward
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

(a)  104 N

(b) 52 N

Explanation:

Given Data

Angle of inclination of the ramp: 20°

F makes an angle of 30° with the ramp

The component of F parallel to the ramp is Fx = 90 N.  

The component of F perpendicular to the ramp is Fy.

(a)  

Let the +x-direction be up the incline and the +y-direction by the perpendicular to the surface of the incline.  

Resolve F into its x-component from Pythagorean theorem:  

Fx=Fcos30°

Solve for F:  

F= Fx/cos30°  

Substitute for Fx from given data:  

Fx=90 N/cos30°

   =104 N

(b) Resolve r into its y-component from Pythagorean theorem:

     Fy = Fsin 30°

   Substitute for F from part (a):

     Fy = (104 N) (sin 30°)  

          = 52 N
