Answer:

37.5N

Explanation:

According to Hooke's law, the load or force, F, applied on an elastic material (e.g a spring) is directly proportional to the extension or compression, e, caused by the load. i.e

F ∝ e

F = k x e         -------------------------(i)

where;

k = proportionality constant known as the spring constant.

From the question;

k = 750N/m

e = 5.0cm = 0.05m

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

F = 750 x 0.05

F = 37.5N

Therefore, the load applied which is a measure of how hard the athlete is pushing is 37.5N

Answer:

37.5 N Hard

Explanation:

Hook's law: The force applied to an elastic material is directly proportional to the extension provided the elastic limit of the material is not exceeded.

Using the expression for hook's law,

F = ke.............. Equation 1

F = Force of the athlete, k = force constant of the spring, e = extension/compression of the spring.

Given: k = 750 N/m, e = 5.0 cm = 0.05 m

Substitute into equation 1

F = 750(0.05)

F = 37.5 N

Hence the athlete is pushing 37.5 N hard

A 1.50-m cylinder of radius 1.10 cm is made of a complicated mixture of materials. Its resistivity depends on the distance x fro
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Resistance = 3.35*10^{-4} Ω

Explanation:

Since resistance R = ρ\frac{L}{A}

whereas \rho(x) = a + bx^2

resistivity is given for two ends. At the left end resistivity is 2.25* 10^{-8} whereas x at the left end will be 0 as distance is zero. Thus

2.25*10^{-8} = a + b(0)^2\\ 2.25*10^{-8} = a + 0 \\2.25*10^{-8} = a

At the right end x will be equal to the length of the rod, so x = 1.50\\8.50*10^{-8} = (2.25*10^{-8}) + ( b* (1.50)^2 )\\8.50*10^{-8} - (2.25*10^{-8}) = b*2.25\\\frac{6.25*10^{-8}}{2.25}  = b\\b = 2.77 *10^{-8}

Thus resistance will be R = ρ\frac{L}{A}

where A = π r^2

so,

R = \frac{8.50*10^{-8} * 1.50}{3.14*(1.10*10^{-2})^2} \\R=3.35 * 10 ^{-4}

xeze [42]
Velocity of submarine A is vs = 11.0m/s
frequency emitted by submarine A. F = 55.273 × 10∧3HZ
Velocity of submarine B = vO = 3.00m/s
The given equation is
f' = ((V + vO) ((v - vS)) × f
The observer on submarine detects the frequency f'.
The sign of vO should be positive as the observer of submarine B is moving away from the source of submarine A.
The speed of the sound used in seawater is 1533m/s
The frequency which is detected by submarine B is 
fo = fs (V -vO/ v +vs)

pickupchik [31]
The optimal angle of 45° for maximum horizontal range is only valid when initial height is the same as final height. 

<span>In that particular situation, you can prove it like this: </span>

<span>initial velocity is Vo </span>
<span>launch angle is α </span>

<span>initial vertical velocity is </span>
<span>Vv = Vo×sin(α) </span>

<span>horizontal velocity is </span>
<span>Vh = Vo×cos(α) </span>

<span>total time in the air is the the time it needs to fall back to a height of 0 m, so </span>
<span>d = v×t + a×t²/2 </span>
<span>where </span>
<span>d = distance = 0 m </span>
<span>v = initial vertical velocity = Vv = Vo×sin(α) </span>
<span>t = time = ? </span>
<span>a = acceleration by gravity = g (= -9.8 m/s²) </span>
<span>so </span>
<span>0 = Vo×sin(α)×t + g×t²/2 </span>
<span>0 = (Vo×sin(α) + g×t/2)×t </span>
<span>t = 0 (obviously, the projectile is at height 0 m at time = 0s) </span>
<span>or </span>
<span>Vo×sin(α) + g×t/2 = 0 </span>
<span>t = -2×Vo×sin(α)/g </span>

<span>Now look at the horizontal range. </span>
<span>r = v × t </span>
<span>where </span>
<span>r = horizontal range = ? </span>
<span>v = horizontal velocity = Vh = Vo×cos(α) </span>
<span>t = time = -2×Vo×sin(α)/g </span>
<span>so </span>
<span>r = (Vo×cos(α)) × (-2×Vo×sin(α)/g) </span>
<span>r = -(Vo)²×sin(2α)/g </span>

<span>To find the extreme values of r (minimum or maximum) with variable α, you must find the first derivative of r with respect to α, and set it equal to 0. </span>

<span>dr/dα = d[-(Vo)²×sin(2α)/g] / dα </span>
<span>dr/dα = -(Vo)²/g × d[sin(2α)] / dα </span>
<span>dr/dα = -(Vo)²/g × cos(2α) × d(2α) / dα </span>
<span>dr/dα = -2 × (Vo)² × cos(2α) / g </span>

Consider a double Atwood machine constructed as follows: A mass 4m is suspended from a string that passes over a massless pulley
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

Hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

Answer : x ( acceleration of mass 4m ) = \frac{g}{7}

The top pulley rotates because it has to keep the center of mass of the system at equilibrium

Explanation:

Given data:

mass suspended = 4 meters

mass suspended at other end = 3 meters

first we have to express the kinetic and potential energy equations

The general kinetic energy of the system can be written as

T = \frac{4m}{2} x^2  + \frac{3m}{2} (-x+y)^2 + \frac{m}{2} (-x-y)^2

T = 4mx^2 + 2my^2 -2mxy  

also the general potential energy can be expressed as

U = -4mgx-3mg(-x+y)-mg(-x-y)+constant=-2mgy +constant

The Lagrangian of the problem can now be setup as

L =4mx^2 +2my^2 -2mxy +2mgy + constant

next we will take the Euler-Lagrange equation for the generalized equations :

Euler-Lagrange  equation = 4x-y =0\\-2y+x +g = 0

solving the equations simultaneously

x ( acceleration of mass 4m ) = \frac{g}{7}

The top pulley rotates because it has to keep the center of mass of the system at equilibrium
