A new piece of exercise equipment has been added to your gym, and you try it out. To use this machine, you lie horizontal on a m

at with your feet against a platform perpendicular to the mat. The platform is held by a stiff spring that is compressed when the platform moves. Your workout invovles compressing the spring by pushing on the platform with your feet. After testing compressions of the equipment, you determine that you must do 85.0 J of work to compress the spring a distance 0.170 m from its uncompressed length.What magnitude of force must you apply to hold the platform stationary at the final distance given above

Answer:

500 N

Explanation:

Since the work done on the spring W = Fx where F = force applied and x = compression length = 0.170 m (since the spring will be compressed its full length when the force is applied)

Since W = 85.0 J and we need to find F,

F = W/x

= 85.0 J/0.170 m

= 500 N

So, the  magnitude of force must you apply to hold the platform stationary at the final distance given above is 500 N.

An unknown material has a mass
atroni [7]

Answer: 1896.55J/kg°C

Explanation:

The quantity of Heat Energy (Q) required to heat a material depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)

Thus, Q = MCΦ

Since,

Q = 1320 joules

Mass of material = 5.61kg

C = ? (let unknown value be Z)

Φ = 0.124°C

Then, Q = MCΦ

1320J = 5.61kg x Z x 0.124°C

1320J = 0.696kg°C x Z

Z = (1320J / 0.696kg°C)

Z = 1896.55 J/kg°C

Thus, the specific heat of the material is 1896.55J/kg°C

Which is the result of using a machine?
Eddi Din [679]
Correct Answers is A.

The machines gives us some mechanical advantage. This means the mechanical average makes the work output greater than the work input
Simple most example is a lever. The force applied is smaller and the output work is larger as compared to input.

Option B cannot be true, as there must be a force to get some work done.
Option C and D are inverse of what a machine is designed for. A small force can be exerted through a large distance to have a large force exerted through a small distance. Common Example of this principle is a screw opener.

Conduction transfers Thermal energy by
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Conduction is the transfer of heat between substances that are in direct contact with each other. The better the conductor, the more rapidly heat will be transferred. Metal is a good conduction of heat. Conduction occurs when a substance is heated, particles will gain more energy, and vibrate more.

Suppose you have a 113-kg wooden crate resting on a wood floor. (μk = 0.3 and μs = 0.5) (a) What maximum force (in N) can you ex
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

554.27N

Explanation:

(a)  The max frictional force exerted horizontally on the crate and the floor is,

Substitute the values,

μs=0.5

mass=113kg

g=9.81m/s

Ff=μsN

   =μsmg

   =(0.5 x 113 x 9.81)

Ff=554.27N
