Answer: 24.24 m

Explanation:

A player throws football 50.0 m at 61° North of west. we will write this in terms of horizontal and vertical components.

Horizontal component: 50 cos 61° = 24.24 m which is westwards

Vertical component: 50 sin 61° = 43.73 m which towards North.

Refer to diagram below.

Thus, the westward component of displacement of the football is the horizontal component of the displacement = 24.24 m.

If a 3-kg rabbit's leg muscles act as imperfectly elastic springs, how much energy will they hold if the rabbit lands from a hei

DiKsa [7]

Answer;

- 15 J

Explanation;

-Potential energy is defined as mechanical energy, stored energy, or energy caused by its position.

-For the gravitational force the formula is P.E. = mgh, where m is the mass in kilograms, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m /s² at the surface of the earth) and h is the height in meters.

Potential energy of the rabbit at the peak of its height is

PE = (3)(10)(0.5) = 15 J

(around 14.7 but because energy is lost, it is less than that)

You start with spring that's already been stretched an unknown amount from equilibrium. After stretching it an additional 2.0 cm

maxonik [38]

Answer: 35*10^3 N/m

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we know that the potential energy for spring is given by:

Up=1/2*k*x^2 where k is the spring constant and x is the streching or compresion position from the equilibrium point for the spring.

We also know that with additional streching of 2 cm of teh spring, the potential energy is 18J. Then it applied another additional streching of 2 cm and the energy is 25J.

Then the difference of energy for both cases is 7 J so:

ΔUp= 1/2*k* (0.02)^2 then

k=2*7/(0.02)^2=35000 N/m
