Answer:

1.26 secs.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Force (F) = 20 N

Extention (e) = 0.2 m

Mass (m) = 4 Kg

Period (T) =.?

Next, we shall determine the spring constant, K for spring.

The spring constant, K can be obtained as follow:

Force (F) = 20 N

Extention (e) = 0.2 m

Spring constant (K) =..?

F = Ke

20 = K x 0.2

Divide both side by 0.2

K = 20/0.2

K = 100 N/m

Finally, we shall determine the period of oscillation of the 4 kg object suspended on the spring. This can be achieved as follow:

Mass (m) = 4 Kg

Spring constant (K) = 100 N/m

Period (T) =..?

T = 2π√(m/K)

T = 2π√(4/100)

T = 2π x √(0.04)

T = 2π x 0.2

T = 1.26 secs.

Therefore, the period of oscillation of the 4 kg object suspended on the spring is 1.26 secs.

If an object absorbs all colors but red, we see

[I researched for you, since I am not in that particular level to know that knowledge yet. I assure this is accurate info :)]

The answer is A, red.
"Remember, the color you see is light REFLECTING off the surface of that object. If all colors are absorbed in to the surface EXCEPT red, red must be reflected, and you'll see red." - Yahoo User @Chap

A skier of mass 60 kg is pulled up a slope by a motor-driven cable. (a) How much work is required to pull him 75 m up a 30° slop

postnew [5]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of skier=60 kg

distance traveled by skier=75 m

inclination $(\theta )=30^{\circ}$

speed (v)=2.4 m/s

as the skier is moving up with a constant velocity therefore net force is zero

$F_{net}=0$

Force applied by cable $=mg\sin \theta$

$F=60\times 9.8\times \sin (30)=294 N$

work done $=F\cdot x$

$W=294\cdot 75=22.125 J$

(b)Power $=F\cdot v$

$P=294\cdot 2.4=705.6 W\approx 0.946 hp$

How is the surface area of an average person is 2m^2 in the chapter pressure

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

We have to show surface area $=2m^2$ ,with few conditions that is by considering Force $=200000\ N$ and Pressure $=100000\ Pa$ to be respectively.

Explanation:

The atmospheric pressure is $=10^{5}\ Pa$ on Earth's surface.

The magnitude of the force exerted on a person by the atmosphere is $=2\times 10^{5}\N (or)\ 200kN\ (or)\ 20\ ton$ .

Now to calculate surface area we can find it from $pressure=\frac{force}{area}$ and re-arranging it to.

$area=\frac{force}{pressure}$

So plugging the values,

Surface area $=\frac{20000}{10000}=2\ m^{2}$

Hence from the above calculations we can say that surface area is $2m^2$ .

So the surface area of an average person can be said to have $2m^2$ , using the concept of pressure and force.

If a basball is project upwards from the ground level with an initial velovaity of 32 feet per second, then it's height is a fun

inessss [21]

Answer:

Maximum height reached by the ball is 32 meters.

Explanation:

It is given that,

If a baseball is project upwards from the ground level with an initial velocity of 32 feet per second, then it's height is a function of time. The equation is given as :

$s=-8t^2+32t$ ...........(1)

t is the time taken

s is the height attained as a function of time.

Maximum height achieved can be calculated as :

$\dfrac{ds}{dt}=0$

$\dfrac{d(-8t^2+32t)}{dt}=0$

-16 t + 32 = 0

t = 2 seconds

Put the value of t in equation (1) as :

$s=-8(2)^2+32(2)$

s = 32 meters

So, the maximum height reached by the ball is 32 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
