As part of your daily workout, you lie on your back and push with your feet against a platform attached to two stiff springs arr

anged side by side so that they are parallel to each other. When you push the platform, you compress the springs. You do an amount of work of 76.0 J when you compress the springs a distance of 0.170 m from their uncompressed length.
(a) What magnitude of force must you apply to hold the platform in this position?
(b) How much additional work must you do to move the platform 0.200 m farther, and what maximum force must you apply?

Answer:

894.12\ \text{N}

284.013\ \text{J}

Explanation:

U = Energy = 76 J

x = Displacement of spring = 0.17 m

k = Spring constant

Energy is given by

U=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{2U}{x^2}\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{2\times 76}{0.17^2}\\\Rightarrow k=5259.51\ \text{Nm}

Force is given by

F=kx\\\Rightarrow F=5259.51\times 0.17\\\Rightarrow F=894.12\ \text{N}

The magnitude of force must you apply to hold the platform is 894.12\ \text{N}.

Now x=0.17+0.2=0.37\ \text{m}

U=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2\\\Rightarrow U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 5259.51\times 0.37^2\\\Rightarrow U=360.013\ \text{J}

Additional energy

360.013-76=284.013\ \text{J}

Two waves meet and overlap. The first wave has an amplitude of 4.6 centimeters and the second wave has an amplitude of 2 centime
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The amplitude of resultant wave as the result of  overlap of two waves depends upon the phase difference between the two.  If the waves meet crest to trough , the phase difference is 180 degree or they are in opposite phase . Hence they will destroy each other . The amplitude of resultant wave can be obtained by subtracting the amplitudes of two waves. They will interfere destructively.

Amplitude of resultant gives waves = 4.6 - 2 = 2.6 cm.
