A spring with k = 136 N/m is compressed by 12.5 cm. How much elastic potential energy does the

Physics

Lorico [155]3 years ago

As we know,

  • \boxed{ \boxed{potential \:  \: energy =  \dfrac{1}{2} k {x}^{2} }}

where,

  • k = 136 N/m

  • x = 12.5 cm = 0.125 m

now, let's solve to find potential energy :

  • p =  \dfrac{1}{2}  \times 136 \times 0.125 \times 0.125

  • p =    \dfrac{68 \times 125 \times 125} {1000 \times 1000}

  • 1.0625 \:  \:  \: joules

Mary takes 6.0 seconds to run up a flight of stairs that is 102 meters long. If Mary's weight is 87 newtons, what power has Mary
fredd [130]

Answer: 1479watts

Explanation:

Power is defined as the energy expended or work done in a specific time.

Mathematically,

Power = Workdone/time taken

Since work done is force × distance

Power = force × distance/time

Force = Mary's weight = 87N

Distance = height of the flight = 102meters

Time = 6.0seconds

Substituting in the formula we have;

Power = 87 × 102/6

Power = 1,479watts

Note that the time must be in seconds before usage. If its given in minutes, you will have to convert to seconds

Who invented the wedge simple machine and why?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Gene Sarazen began to win tournaments in 1935 with a new club he had invented that was specialized for sand play. He is hailed as the inventor of the sand wedge.

Explanation:

A wedge is a triangular shaped tool, and is a portable inclined plane, and one of the six classical simple machines. It can be used to separate two objects or portions of an object, lift up an object, or hold an object in place. It functions by converting a force applied to its blunt end into forces perpendicular (normal) to its inclined surfaces. The mechanical advantage of a wedge is given by the ratio of the length of its slope to its width.[1][2] Although a short wedge with a wide angle may do a job faster, it requires more force than a long wedge with a narrow angle.

The force is applied on a flat, broad surface. This energy is transported to the pointy, sharp end of the wedge, hence the force is transported.

The wedge simply transports energy and collects it to the pointy end, consequently breaking the item. In this way, much pressure is put on a thin area.

In mechanics, massless strings are often assumed. Why is that not a good assumption when discussing waves on strings?
Marizza181 [45]

In mechanics, massless strings are often assumed. but this is not a good assumption when discussing waves on strings because the speed of a wave on a massless string would be infinite.

<h3>How to explain the information?</h3>

It should be noted that waves simply means the dynamic disturbance of a quantity.

It should be noted that in mechanics, massless strings are often assumed. but this is not a good assumption when discussing waves on strings because the speed of a wave on a massless string would be infinite.

According to the navigation rules, which must be aboard a 22-foot powerboat
melomori [17]
The navigation rules for countries in the Unites States are compiled in the U.S. Coast Guard. There are actually boating courses that are recognized by the U.S Coast Guard. One of the things they discuss there is the emergency aids every boat should have depending on the size and purpose. For recreational vessels with lengths measuring less than 39.4 feet, they must carry aboard an efficient sound producing device. This will serve as your signal when emergencies happen and you have to get the attention of nearby boat vessels. Hence, for practical purposes, every boat should have a whistle or a horn.
