(a) The spring stiffness constant of the spring is 18,392 N/m.

(b) The time the car was in contact with the spring before it bounces off in the opposite direction is 0.23 s.

<h3>Kinetic energy of the car</h3>

The kinetic energy of the car is calculated as follows;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

K.E = ¹/₂ x 950 x 22²

K.E = 229,900 J

<h3>Stiffness constant of the spring</h3>

The stiffness constant of the spring is calculated as follows;

K.E =  U = ¹/₂kx²

k = 2U/x²

k = (2 x 229,900)/(5)²

k = 18,392 N/m

<h3>Force exerted on the spring</h3>

F = kx

F = 18,392 x 5

F = 91,960 N

<h3>Time of impact</h3>

F = mv/t

t = mv/F

t = (950 x 22)/(91960)

t = 0.23 s

The radius of curvature is smaller at the top than on the sides so that the downward centripetal acceleration at the top will be
kap26 [50]

Answer:

v = 14.86 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that the force equation at the top is given as

\frac{mv^2}{R} = ma

now we know that

a_c = 1.5 g

so we have

\frac{v^2}{R} = 1.5 g

v = \sqrt{1.5 Rg}

so we will have

v = \sqrt{1.5(15)(9.81)}

v = 14.86 m/s

A car of mass 500 kg is moving at a speed of 1.2 m/s. A man pushes the car, increasing the speed to 2 m/s. How much work did the
Vikki [24]

Answer:

Option B - 360 J

Explanation:

One of the formulas used to find out how much work was done is :

E = 0.5×m×v² (where m is the mass and v is the velocity)

Now we substitute values from the question and simplify :

E = 0.5×500×1.2²

E = 250×1.2²

E = 250×1.44

E = 360 J

So our answer is Option B

Hope this helped and have a good day

A laser emits a beam of light whose photons all have the same frequency. When the beam strikes the surface of a metal, photoelec
seraphim [82]

Answer:

the no. of ejected electrons per second will increase.

Explanation:

In photoelectric effect, when a light is incident on a metal surface it ejects some electrons from the metal surface. The energy of photon of light must be equal to or greater than the work function of that metal. All the extra energy above the work potential appears as the kinetic energy of the ejected electrons. So, greater he energy of photon greater will be the kinetic energy of the ejected electrons.

A single photon interacts with a single electron and ejects it only if its energy is greater than work function. So, the increase in no. of photons per second means an increase in the intensity of laser beam. And greater no. of photons, will interact with greater no. of electrons. So, <u>the no. of ejected electrons per second will increase.</u>

This is a concept of momentum. In equation, momentum is the product of force and distance. When a ball is thrown, its force is constant all throughout unless disturbed by an external force. Therefore, force is the constant of proportionality that relates momentum with distance. When you block a ball from a given distance, you would feel the great force on your hand. In order to reduce the force, you have to follow the direction of the force in order to minimize the impact. By doing this, you gradually decrease the momentum of the ball.
