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}

If you make multiple measurements of your height, you are likely to find that the results vary by nearly half an inch in either
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Height h= 1.7 m

Explanation:

Supposing we have to find height in meter.

1 feet = 0.3048 m

1 inch = 0.0254 m

Given that:

5 feet

= 5×0.3048

= 1.524 m

and 7 inch = 7×0.0254= 0.1778 m

Therefore total height of a man in meter

5 feet 7 inch = 1.5424+0.1778 =1.7 m

Height h= 1.7 m

It is easier to see clothes with pointed needle than a blunt one​
topjm [15]

Answer:

Explanation:

It is easier to see clothes with pointed needle than a blunt one because pressure exerted is more in a pointed needle as it occupies less space compared to blunt needle, A blunt has more surface area so the pressure exerted will less as compared to a pointed needle.

Why must the electric field be normal to the surface at every point of a charged conductor?
solong [7]
-- If the field were inclined to the surface, then it would have
some component parallel to the surface. 

-- Then, since we're talking about a conductor, the charges
on the object would move in response to that component
of the field, until there was no longer any component of the
field trying to move them.

Think Critically Suppose your teacher gave you a slide of an unknown cell. How would you tell whether the cell was from an anima
topjm [15]

Answer:

You will be able to tell whether the unknown cell is from an animal or from a plant through the knowledge of difference between plants and animal cells.

Explanation:

A cell can be defined as the simplest bit of living matter which exhibits a variety of shapes and sizes and that can exist independently.

When a slide of an unknown cell is studied under a microscope, different cell structures would be observed which would be used to conclude if the cell on the slide is a plant or animal cell.

The following features are observed in a plant cell:

--> cellulose cell wall is present

--> Chloroplast is present

--> A large central vacuole is present

--> Centriole is absent

The following features are observed in animal cell:

--> Cellulose cell wall is absent

--> Chloroplast is absent

--> Small vacuoles is present

--> Centriole is present

The difference between a plant and an animal cell can be seen from the features above and a clear knowledge of this will help the student tell whether the unknown cell is from an animal or from a plant.
