Power resistance voltage current question. explanation as to why the answer is a?

As part of your daily workout, you lie on your back and push with your feet against a platform attached to two stiff springs arranged side by side so that they are parallel to each other. when you push the platform, you compress the springs. you do an amount of work of 79.0 j when you compress the springs a distance of 0.230 m from their uncompressed length. (a) what magnitude of force must you apply to hold the platform in this position? (b)how much additional work must you do to move the platform a distance 0.230 m farther? (c) what maximum force must you apply to move the platform a distance 0.230 m farther?

Does the distance travelled by an oscillating mass between times t=0 and t2 equal the displacement of the particle over the same time period if t2> t/2? hint: consider a sine wave starting at t1=0, then consider a closing wave starting at t1=0, for your explanation.

An electromagnetic wave with frequency 65.0 hz travels in aninsulating magnetic material that has dielectric constant 3.64 andrelative permeability 5.18 at this frequency. the electric fieldhas amplitude 7.20 \times 10^{ - 3} {\rm v}/{\rm m}. a. what is the speed of propagation of the wave? b.what is the wavelength of the wave? c.what is the amplitude of the magnetic field? d.what is the intensity of the wave?
