Answer:

Hey there!

Your answer would be 5 Damping.

If there is an earthquake underneath a sky scrapper you would want to damp that energy being put into it so that it is less likely to fall.

When a 2.60-kg object is hung vertically on a certain light spring described by Hooke's law, the spring stretches 2.86 cm. (a) W
Goryan [66]

Answer:

a)  k = 891.82 N/m

b) e = 0.0143 m = 1.43 cm

c) W = 5.02 J

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass = 2.60 kg

the spring stretches 2.86 cm = 0.0286

Step 2: What is the force constant of the spring?

Force constant, k = force applied / extension produced  

k = (2.60kg * 9.81N/kg) / 0.0326 m

k = 891.82 N/m

b)  If the 2.60-kg object is removed, how far will the spring stretch if a 1.30-kg block is hung on it

Extension = F/k = (1.30 kg * 9.81) / 891.82 =  0.0143 m = 1.43 cm

Half the mass means half the extension

c) How much work must an external agent do to stretch the same spring 7.50 cm from its unstretched position?

W = average force used * distance

W = 1/2 * k*e * e = 1/2 k*e²  

W = 1/2 * 891.82 * (0.075)² = W = 5.02 J

You are moving into an apartment and take the elevator to the 6th floor. Suppose your weight is 660 N and that of your belonging
Ivan

Answer:

Explanation:

Total weight

My weight+weight of belongings

660+1100=1760N.

a. Work done by the elevator to travel a total height of 15.2m

Using newton law of motion

ΣF = ma

There are only two forces acting upward, the weight and the reaction by the elevator

Also note it is moving at constant velocity then, a=0

N - W=0

Then, N=W

N=1760N

So, workdone is given as

Wordone, =force × distance

Work done=1760×15.2

W=26,752J

W=26.752KJ

b. Work done on me alone is still need to go through the same process but will remove the weight of the belonging

Therefore,

Weight now = 660N

And using the same equation of motion

ΣF = ma

Comstant velocity, a=0

N - W=0

N=W

N=660N

Then, workdone

W=F×d

W=660×15.2

W=10,032J

W=10.032KJ
