the spring will be compressed by 0.3072 m
Explanation:
acceleration of elevator=3 m/s²
mass of student= 60 Kg
spring constant=2.5 x 10³ N/m
the force on the student is given by F = m ( g +a)
F=60 (9.8+3)
F=768 N
now the formula for spring force is given by
F= k x
768= 2.5 x 10³ (x)
x=0.3072 m
The spring on which a 60kg student is standing in an elevator accelerating at 3.0 m/s² is compressed by approximately 30.72 cm. This is calculated using Hooke's Law, considering both the weight of the student and the additional force due to the elevator's acceleration.
The situation you've described involves Hooke's Law, which states that the force needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance is proportional to that distance. In this case, we can consider the student's weight plus the extra force from the acceleration of the elevator.
To determine the compression of the spring, we use the equation F = kx, where F is the total force exerted on the spring, k is the spring constant, and x is the amount the spring is compressed. Here, the total force (F) includes the weight of the student and the force due to the elevator's acceleration. So, F = mg + ma, where m is the mass of the student, g is the gravity (9.8 m/s²), and a is the acceleration of the elevator.
Substituting the given values, we get F = (60 kg)(9.8 m/s²) + (60 kg)(3.0 m/s²) = 768 N. The compression of the spring (x) is now obtained by rearranging the Hooke's law formula to x = F/k.
This results in x = 768 N ÷ 2.5 x 10³ N/m = 0.3072 m or 30.72 cm. Thus, the spring is compressed by approximately 30.72 cm due to the combined force of the student's weight and the accelerating elevator.

sound waves
Ultrasounds are used in the medical profession for the purpose of diagnosis. Ultrasounds uses high frequency sound waves. Thus, the correct option is D.
Ultrasound are the sound waves with frequencies which are higher than the upper audible limit of normal human hearing. Ultrasound is not different from normal audible sound frequencies in its physical properties, except that humans cannot hear these sound.
Ultrasound is used in diagnostics where it is also called as sonography or diagnostic medical sonography. It is an imaging method which uses sound waves to produce images of structures within the body of a person. The images produced can provide valuable information for the purpose of diagnosing and directing treatment for a variety of diseases and conditions.
Therefore, the correct option is D.

The energy equation, E=12mvx2+12kx2=12kA2, is a useful alternative relationship between velocity and position, especially when energy quantities are also required. If the problem involves a relationship among position, velocity, and acceleration without reference to time, it is usually easier to use the equation for simple harmonic motion, ax=d2xdt2=−kmx (from Newton’s second law) or the energy equation above (from energy conservation) than to use the general expressions for x, vx, and ax as functions of time. Because the energy equation involves x2 and vx2, it cannot tell you the sign of x or of vx; you have to infer the sign from the situation. For instance, if the body is moving from the equilibrium position toward the point of greatest positive displacement, then x is positive and vx is positive.

Answer:
Part A

Vmax = 3.2m/s
Amplitude= 6cm
Position x from the equilibrium= 5.1cm
Part B
Kinetic energy = 0.185J
Part C
Potential energy = 0.185J
Explanation:
Kinetic energy = 1/2mv×2
Vmax = wa
w = angular velocity= 53.33rad/s
Kinetic energy = 1/2mv^2×r^2 = 0.185J
Part c
Total energy = 1/2m×Vmax^2= 0.256J
1/2KA^2= 0.256J
K= 142.22N/m (force constant)
Potential energy = 1/2kx^2
=1/2×142.22×0.051^2
= 0.185J
To find the kinetic energy of the toy, we need to use the energy equation for simple harmonic motion and the relationship between velocity and position. We can then substitute the known values to calculate the kinetic energy.
In this problem, we are given the amplitude (A) of the oscillation and the maximum velocity (vmax) achieved by the toy. We need to find the kinetic energy (K) of the toy when the spring is compressed 5.1 cm from its equilibrium position.
To solve for the kinetic energy, we can use the energy equation for simple harmonic motion: K = 1/2mvx2, where m is the mass of the object and vx is the velocity of the object at position x. The mass of the object is given as 50 g, which is equal to 0.05 kg.
Since we know the maximum velocity (vmax = 3.2 m/s), we can use the relationship between velocity and position in simple harmonic motion to find the velocity (vx) at a displacement of 5.1 cm from the equilibrium position. The velocity and position in simple harmonic motion are related by vx = ±ω√(A2 - x2), where ω is the angular frequency of the motion.
Substituting the known values into the equations, we can calculate the kinetic energy of the toy.
