Answer:

1411.8 N/m

Explanation:

From Hooke's law;

F= Ke

Where

F= force on the spring

K= force constant

e = extension

But e= 8.50 × 10^-2m

F= weight = 12.0 kg × 10 = 120 N

K = F/e = 120/8.50 × 10^-2

K= 1411.8 N/m

A displacement is related to time as x = A sin(2?ft), where A and f are constants. Find the dimensions of A. [Hint: A trigonomet
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The right option is C. i.e L

Explanation:

Dimension of a quantity is the collection of the indexes of each of the fundamental quantities contained in it.

Therefore, to get the dimension of A in the equation

X=Asin(2(pi)ft)

Making A the subject of the formula

A = X / (sin(2(pi)ft)

Since sin(2(pi)ft which is a trigonometric function does not have a dimension

A = L

The dimension of A is L

A projectile is fired straight up from ground level. After t seconds it's height is above the ground is h feet where h=-16t^2+14
Rainbow [258]
<span>Plug in 288 for h, move it over to the right side and do the quadratic formula to solve for t. You will get 2 times, in between and including those times will give you the period it is at least 288 ft off the ground.

</span>You can simplify this and not need to use the quadratic. <span>288=−16<span>t^2</span>+144t
</span><span>Divide through by 16 getting
 18=-t^2 + 9t
</span><span><span>t^2</span>−9t+18=0</span><span> Is what you would get after rearranging the equation Now you have something you can easily factor</span><span>
