(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

If it takes 50.0 seconds to lift 10.0 Newtons of books to a height of 7.0
Ilya [14]
Work of the force = 10 N

Time required for the work = 50 sec

Height = 7 m

We are given with the value of work and time in the question.

Substitute the values in the formula of power and then you'll get the power required.

We know that,

w = Work

p = Power

t = Time

By the formula,

Given that,
Work (w) = 7 m = 70 Joules
Time (t) = 50 sec
Substituting their values,

p = 70/50

p = 1.4 watts

Therefore, the power required is 1.4 watts.

Hope it helps!

The net force acting on an object that is in equilibrium is...?
Ratling [72]

Answer: If the object is at equilibrium, then the net force acting upon the object should be 0 Newton. Thus, if all the forces are added together as vectors, then the resultant force (the vector sum) should be 0 Newton.

Magnitude: 3.4 N

Direction: 161 deg

A measure of the average kinetic energy of the individual particles in an object is called
svlad2 [7]
<h2>Answer: Temperature </h2>

Temperature is a physical quantity that reflects the amount of heat in a body or medium. This amount of heat is related to the internal energy of a system (thermodynamically speaking), <u>according to the movement (speed) of each of the particles that compose it</u>, this means that it is related to its kinetic energy.

Therefore, the higher the kinetic energy, the higher the thermal energy in the system and the higher the temperature.
