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.

a bee flies 25m north of the hive, then 10m east, 5m west and 10m south. how far north and east of the hive is it now?
krok68 [10]
(25m north) + (10m south) = 15m north

(10m east) + (5m west) = 5m east

So the bee is now 15m north and 5m east of the hive.
