Answer:
7200 N/m
Explanation:
Metric unit conversion
100g = 0.1 kg
5 cm = 0.05 m
50 cm = 0.5 m
As the block is released from the spring and travelling to height h = 1.5m off the ground, the elastics energy is converted to work of friction force and the potential energy at 1.5 m off the ground
The work by friction force is the product of the force F = 15N itself and the distance s = 0.5 m
Let g = 10 m/s2. The change in potential energy can be calculated as the following:
Therefore, as elastic energy is converted to potential energy and work of friction:
It is the acceleration of an object in free fall
Explanation:
When an object is in free fall, it is subjected only to one force: the force of gravity, which pulls the object downward, with a magnitude (near the Earth's surface) which is given by
where
m is the mass of the object
is the acceleration due to gravity
We can apply Newton's second law to the object in free fall:
where
F is the net force on the object
a is the acceleration of the object
m is the mass
However, since there is only the force of gravity acting on the object, the net force is equal to the force of gravity: so we can equate the two equations, obtaining that
Which means that the acceleration of an object in free fall (acted upon the force of gravity only) is equal to the acceleration due to gravity, .
