The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

A floating ice block is pushed through a displacement vector d = (15m)i - (12m)j along a straight embankment by rushing water, which exerts a force vector F = (210N)i - (150N)j on the block. How much work does the force do on the block during displacement?

Answer: W = 4950J

Explanation: <u>Work</u> (W), in physics, is done when a force acts on an object that has a displacement form a place to another:

W = F · d

As the formula shows, Work is a scalar product, i.e, it results in a number, so, Work only has magnitude.

Force and displacement for the ice block are in 2 dimensions, then work will be:

W = (210)i - (150)j · (15)i - (12)j

W = (210*15) + (150*12)

W = 3150 + 1800

W = 4950J

During the displacement, the ice block has a work of 4950J

A body is oscillating up and down at the end of a spring. Let’s consider when the body is at the top of its up-and-down motion.
Klio2033 [76]

The velocity of the body is zero; option A

<h3>What is the motion of an oscillating body?</h3>

The motion of an oscillating body is known as simple harmonic motion.

Simple harmonic motion involves a periodical motion of a body whose acceleration is directed towards a fixed point.

For a body that is oscillating up and down at the end of a spring, considering when the body is at the top of its up-and-down motion, the velocity of the body at the top and down is zero since the body comes to rest at the top and down position of its motion.

In conclusion, oscillating bodies undergo simple harmonic motion.

Calculate the average speed in metres per second from Glasgow to Edinburgh
mariarad [96]
This is the same question as the one previously but with more details, so I will just use my previous answer.

1800 to 1820 is 20 minutes.1830 to 1838 is 8 minutes.1840 to 1905 is 25 minutes.
The total time travelled is 20+8+25 = 53 minutes = 3180 seconds.
The distance between Glasgow and Edinburgh is 28 + 12 + 34 = 74 km = 74000 m.

So, the average speed is 74000m/3180s = 23.27 m/s (4 s.f.)

The stiffness of a particular spring is 42 N/m. One end of the spring is attached to a wall. A force of 2 N is required to hold
Liula [17]

Answer:

L_{o}=0.1224m

Explanation:

Given data

Force F=2 N

Length L=17 cm = 0.17 m

Spring Constant k=42 N/m

To find

Relaxed length of the spring

Solution

From Hooke's Law we know that

F_{spring}=k_{s}|s|\\F_{spring}=k_{s}(L-L_{o})\\ 2N=(42N/m)(0.17m-L_{o})\\2=7.14-42L_{o}\\-42L_{o}=2-7.14\\42L_{o}=5.14\\L_{o}=(5.14/42)\\L_{o}=0.1224m
