A typical mattress has a network of springs that provide support. If you sit on a mattress, the springs compress. A heavier pers

on compresses the springs more than a lighter person. Use the properties of springs and spring forces to explain why.

Answer:

Explanation:

Spring has a tendency to store energy in them and deform its shape when force is applied on it. Once the applied force is removed it regains its original shape and size.

It is in helical shape and is used in mattress to give structure and support. Spring have elastic nature and follows spring forces, F = k * x

where is the applied force, k is the spring constant and x is the amount of extension.

When a heavier person sits on a mattress, more weight is applied on springs and they form coils, as weight is removed they regains its shape again.

"A block of metal weighs 40 N in air and 30 N in water. What is the buoyant force on the block due to the water? The density of
Alja [10]

Answer:

buoyant force on the block due to the water= 10 N

Explanation:

We know that

buoyant force(F_B) on a block= weight of the block in air (actual weight) - weight of block in water.

Given:

A block of metal weighs 40 N in air and 30 N in water.

F_B =  40-30= 10 N

therefore,  buoyant force on the block due to the water= 10 N

calculate the time rate of change in air density during expiration. Assume that the lung has a total volume of 6000mL, the diame
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The time rate of change in air density during expiration is 0.01003kg/m³-s

Explanation:

Given that,

Lung total capacity V = 6000mL = 6 × 10⁻³m³

Air density p = 1.225kg/m³

diameter of the trachea is 18mm = 0.018m

Velocity v = 20cm/s = 0.20m/s

dv /dt = -100mL/s (volume rate decrease)

= 10⁻⁴m³/s

Area for trachea =

\frac{\pi }{4} d^2\\= 0.785\times 0.018^2\\= 2.5434 \times10^-^4m^2

0 - p × Area for trachea =

\frac{d}{dt} (pv)=v\frac{ds}{dt} + p\frac{dv}{dt}

-1.225\times2.5434\times10^-^4\times0.20=6\times10^-^3\frac{ds}{dt} +1.225(-1\times10^-^4)

-1.225\times2.5434\times10^-^4\times0.20=6\times10^-^3\frac{ds}{dt} +1.225(-1\times10^-^4)

⇒-0.623133\times10^-^4+1.225\times10^-^4=6\times10^-^3\frac{ds}{dt}

           \frac{ds}{dt} = \frac{0.6018\times10^-^4}{6\times10^-^3} \\\\= 0.01003kg/m^3-s

ds/dt = 0.01003kg/m³-s

Thus, the time rate of change in air density during expiration is 0.01003kg/m³-s

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
An activity that is relatively short in time <10 seconds and has few repetitions predominantly uses the ATP/PC energy system. The cellular respiration procedure that changes food energy into ATP which is a form of energy is largely reliant on oxygen obtainability. During exercise the source and request of oxygen obtainable to muscle is unnatural by period and strength and by the individual’s cardiorespiratory suitability level. 
Steps of the ATP-PC system:


1. Primarily, ATP kept in the myosin cross-bridges which is microscopic contractile parts of muscle is broken down to issue energy for muscle shrinkage.  This action consents the by-products of ATP breakdown which are the adenosine diphosphate and one single phosphate all on its own.


2. Phosphocreatine is then broken down by the enzyme creatine kinase into creatine and phosphate.


3. The energy free in the breakdown of PC permits ADP and Pi to rejoin creating more ATP.  This newly made ATP can now be broken down to issue energy to fuel activity.

26. An ice-skater who weighs 200 N is gliding across the ice. If the force of friction is 4 N. what is the
Scrat [10]

Answer:

0.02

Explanation:

coefficient of kinetic friction = μ

force of friction = Ff

Normal Force = FN, but

FN = -W

Ff = -μFN

so μ = Ff/FN

= 4N/200N

= 0.02.
