Answer:

0.8J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force = 20N

Compression = 0.08m

Unknown:

Spring constant = ?

Elastic potential energy = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below:

F = k e

F is the force

k is the spring constant

e is the compression

20 = k x 0.08

k = 250N/m

Elastic potential energy;

EPE = $\frac{1}{2}$ k e² = $\frac{1}{2}$ x 250 x 0.08²

Elastic potential energy = 0.8J

A loudspeaker located in air generates sound waves of frequency 1,000 Hz. Some of these sound waves enter a pool of water, where

prisoha [69]

Answer:

1.4 m

Explanation:

v = Speed of sound in water = 1400 m/s

f = Frequency of sound = 1000 Hz

$\lambda$ = Wavelength

When we multiply the frequency and the wavelength of a wave we get the velocity of sound in that medium

$v=f\lambda\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{1400}{1000}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=1.4\ m$

The wavelength of the sound waves in water is 1.4 m

If the tension in the rope is 160 n, how much work does the rope do on the skier during a forward displacement of 270 m?

Lunna [17]

If the tension in the rope is 160 n, - 43200 J work doen by the rope on the skier during a forward displacement of 270 m.

Given,

Tension force in the rope is (T) = 160 N

Displacement of the skier (S) = 270 m

The displacement takes place in forward direction while the direction of the tension in the rope is opposite to it.

Therefore, work done by the rope on the skier is,

$W=T.S$

⇒ $W=270*160*cos\pi \\W=-43200 J$

Hence work done by the rope is - 43200 J.

What is the mean of 22, 72, 79, 72, and 70

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

You first have to add all the numbers together.

22+72+79+72+70 = 315

You divide the total by the amount of numbers (5)

315/5 = 63

The mean is 63

In Paul Hewitt's book, he poses this question: "If the forces that act on a bullet and the recoiling gun from which it is fired

Sauron [17]

They have different accelerations because of their masses. According to Newton's Second Law, an objects acceleration is inversely proportional to its mass. Therefore the object with the larger mass, in this case the gun, will have a smaller acceleration. In the same way, the less massive object, being the bullet, will have a higher acceleration.

Hope this helps :)
