The achilles tendon is subjected to a large tension stress that results in a strain of 6%. if the unloaded tendon is 10 cm long,

how much does it elongate as a result of this strain?
The answer is .6cm I need to understand the work to get here.

Answer: 0.6cm

Explanation:

Strain is defined as  how much an object can be stretched or deformed  when force is applied to it .  it measures the  fractional change of the object’s length when the object faces  tensional stress. It is calculated  by using the formulae

Strain =  ΔL/ L

where strain = 6%

L= Original length

ΔL= change in length

 6% = ΔL/ 10 cm

ΔL= 10cm X 0.06

ΔL=0.6cm

A 0.5-kg ball moving at 5 m/s strikes a wall and rebounds in the opposite direction with a speed of 2 m/s. If the impulse occurs
mart [117]

<em>Given that:</em>

                       mass of the ball (m) = 0.5 Kg ,

                    ball strikes the wall (v₁) = 5 m/s ,

rebounds in opposite direction (v₂) = 2 m/s,

                                time duration (t) = 0.01 s,

        <em> Determine the force (F) = ?</em>

We know that from Newton's II law,

                                <em>F = m. a</em>  Newtons  

                                  (velocity acting in opposite direction, so <em>a = ( (v₁ + v₂)/t</em>

                                   = m × (v₁ + v₂)/t

                                   = 0.5 × (5 + 2)/0.01

                                  = 350 N

<em>The force acting up on the ball is 350 N</em>

Peter’s body supplies a force of 500 N to run up a 10-m hill in 10 s. How much power is involved in Peter’s run up the hill? Exp
shutvik [7]

Answer: 500 Watts

Explanation:

Power P is the speed with which work W is done. Its unit is Watts (W), being 1 W=\frac{1 Joule}{1 s}.

Power is mathematically expressed as:

P=\frac{W}{t} (1)

Where t is the time during which work W  is performed.

On the other hand, the Work W done by a Force F refers to the release of potential energy from a body that is moved by the application of that force to overcome a resistance along a path.  It is a scalar magnitude, and its unit in the International System of Units is the Joule (like energy). Therefore, 1 Joule is the work done by a force of 1 Newton when moving an object, in the direction of the force, along 1 meter (1J=(1N)(1m)=Nm  ).

When the applied force is constant and the direction of the force and the direction of the movement are parallel, the equation to calculate it is:  

W=(F)(d) (2)

In this case, we have the following data:

F=500 N

d=10 m

t=10 s

So, let's calculate the work done by Peter and then find how much power is involved:

From (2):

W=(500 N)(10 m) (3)

W=5000 J (4)

Substituting (4) in (1):

P=\frac{5000 J}{10 s} (5)

Finally:

P=500 W

A cylinder of gas is compressed by a piston from an initial volume of 125 liters to a final volume of 90 liters. The compression
ololo11 [35]
Since the process occurs at constant pressure, the work done by the gas on the piston is given by
W=p \Delta V = p (V_f - V_i)
where
W is the work
p is the pressure
V_f is the final volume
V_i is the initial volume

In our problem, we have
V_i =125 L = 125 \cdot 10^{-3}m^3
V_f = 90 L = 90 \cdot 10^{-3} m^3
W=-104 J (where the negative sign means the work is done by the piston on the gas)

We can re-arrange the previous equation and use these values to find the pressure:
p= \frac{W}{V_f - V_i}= \frac{-104 J}{90 \cdot 10^{-3} m^3 - 125 \cdot 10^{-3} m^3}=2971 Pa
