An athlete stretches a spring an extra 40.0 cm beyond its initial length. how much energy has he transferred to the spring, if t
marissa [1.9K]
The energy transferred to the spring is given by:
U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2
where 
k is the spring constant
x is the elongation of the spring with respect its initial length

Let's convert the data into the SI units:
k=52.9 N/cm = 5290 N/m
x=40.0 cm=0.4 m

so now we can use these data inside the equation ,to find the energy transferred to the spring:
U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2= \frac{1}{2}(5290 N/m)(0.4m)^2=423.2 J

According to a rule-of-thumb. every five seconds between a lightning flash and the following thunder gives the distance to the f
Bond [772]

Answer:

S_{s}=300 m/s

The rule for kilometers is that every three seconds between a lightning flash and the following thunder gives the distance to the flash in kilometers.

Explanation:

In order to use the rule of thumb to find the speed of sound in meters per second, we need to use some conversion ratios. We know there is 1 mile per every 5 seconds after the lightning is seen. We also know that there are 5280ft in 1 mile and we also know that there are 0.3048m in 1ft. This is enough information to solve this problem. We set our conversion ratios like this:

\frac{1mi}{5s}*\frac{5280ft}{1mi}*\frac{0.3048m}{1ft}=321.87m/s

notice how the ratios were written in such a way that the units got cancelled when calculating them. Notice that in one ratio the miles were on the numerator of the fraction while on the other they were on the denominator, which allows us to cancel them. The same happened with the feet.

The problem asks us to express the answer to one significant figure so the speed of sound rounds to 300m/s.

For the second part of the problem we need to use conversions again. This time we will write our ratios backwards and take into account that there are 1000m to 1 km, so we get:

\frac{5s}{1mi}*\frac{1mi}{5280ft}*\frac{1ft}{0.3048m}*\frac{1000m}{1km}=3.11s/km

This means that for every 3.11s there will be a distance of 1km from the place where the lightning stroke. Since this is a rule of thumb, we round to the nearest integer for the calculations to be made easily, so the rule goes like this:

The rule for kilometers is that every three seconds between a lightning flash and the following thunder gives the distance to the flash in kilometers.

A particle moves along a straight line with a velocity in meters per second given by v = 12 - 3t + 8t, where t is in seconds. Wh
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given the velocity of a particle modeled by the equation

v = 13-3t+8t² where t is in seconds

Given t = 0 and position s = +5m

A) To get the position as a function of time, we will integrate the function with respect to t ad shown;

v = 13-3t+8t²

S = ∫13-3t+8t² dt

S = 13t-13t²/2+8t³/3 + C

at t = 0 and S = +5m

5 = 13(0)-13(0)²/2+8(0)³/3+C

5 = 0-0+0+C

C = 5

Substituting c = 5 into the displacement function

S = 13t-13t²/2+8t³/3 + C

S = 13t-13t²/2+8t³/3 + 5

B) acceleration is the change in velocity with respect to time.

a = dv/dt

Given v = 13-3t+8t²

a= dv/dt = -3+16t

a = 16-3t

C) acceleration at t = 6s is derived by plugging in t = 6 into the resulting equations in (B)

a = 16-3t

a = 16-3(6)

a = 16-18

a = -2m/s²

D) net displacement from t = 0 to t = 6s

At t = 0:

S(0) = 13(0)-13(0)²/2+8(0)³/3 + 5

S(0) = 0+5

S(0) = 5m

At t = 6s

S(6) = 13(6)-13(6)²/2+8(6)³/3 + 5

S(6) = 78-234+576+5

S(6) = 425m

Net displacement from t = 0s to t = 6s is s(6)-s(0)

= 425-5

= 420m

E) Total distance travelled D = S(6)+S(0)

= 425+5

= 430m

F) Average velocity = ∆S/∆t

Average velocity = S(6)-S(0)/6-0

Average velocity = 425-5/6

Average velocity = 420/6

Average velocity = 70m/s

Two 8.0 Ω lightbulbs are connected in a 12 V series circuit. What is the power of both glowing bulbs?
V125BC [204]

Answer:

18 W

Explanation:

Applying,

P = V²/R.................. Equation 1

Where P = Power of both glowing bulbs, V = Voltage, R = Combined Resistance of both bulbs

Since: It is a series circuit,

Then,

R = R1+R2............. Equation 2

Where R1= Resistance of the first bulb, R2 = Resistance of the second bulb

Given: R1 = R2 = 8 Ω

Substitute into equation 1

R = 8+8

R = 16 Ω

Also Given: V = 12 V

Substitute into equation 1

P = 12²/8

P = 144/8

P = 18 W

A grasshopper jumps at a 65.0 degree angle at 5.42m/s. At what time does it reach its maximum height?
crimeas [40]
When the grasshoppers vertical velocity is exactly zero.
v = -g•t + v0.
v: vertical part of velocity. Is zero at maximum height.
g: 9.81
t: time you are looking for
v0: initial vertical velocity
Find the vertical part of the initial velocity, by using the angle at which the grasshopper jumps.
