Answer:

P=160000Pa

Explanation:

You haven't specified what to calculate

But looking at the parameters I think the question is asking to calculate the pressure exerted.

Pressure=Force/Area

P=40000/0.25m²

P=160000Pa

Natalka [10]

There are problems with the first sentence, and it's not really needed when
working with this question. So let's just take the 20 (Hz ?) frequency from
the first sentence, and ignore the rest of it for right now.

Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency) =

(331 m/s) / (20 Hz) = <em>16.55 meters</em>.

A constant 10.0-N horizontal force is applied to a 20.0-kg cart at rest on a level floor. If friction is negligible, what is the

Otrada [13]

Answer:

2.83 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the cart (m) = 20.0 kg

Initial velocity of the cart (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = ? m/s

Displacement of the cart (S) = 8.0 m

Horizontal force acting on the cart (F) = 10.0 N

Surface is frictionless. So, only horizontal force is the force acting on the cart.

Now, as per work-energy theorem, the work done by the net force acting on a body is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the body.

Here, the work done by the horizontal force is given as:

$W_{net}=FS=(10\ N)(8.0\ m)=80\ Nm$

The change in kinetic energy is given as:

$\Delta K=\frac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)\\\\\Delta K=\frac{1}{2}(20.0\ kg)(v^2-0)\\\\\Delta K=10v^2$

Now, from work-energy theorem:

$\Delta K=W_{net}\\\\10v^2=80\\\\v^2=\frac{80}{10}\\\\v=\sqrt{8}=2.83\ m/s$

Therefore, the speed of the cart when it has been pushed 8.0 m is 2.83 m/s.

a moving cart hits a spring, traveling at 5.0 m/s at the time of contact. at this instant the cart is motionless by how much is

viva [34]

This state of motionlessness occurs because all of the kinetic energy in the car is absorbed by the spring in the form of elastic potential energy. The mathematical representation is:
1/2 mv² = 1/2 kx²
25m = kx², where m is the mass of the cart, k is the spring constant and x is the spring's extension.
