(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

If two swimmers compete in a race, does the faster swimmer develop more power?
valkas [14]
Power is equal to energy per unit time. In this case, power is proportional to energy while is inversely proportional to time,on the other hand. Given the two swimmers exerts same amount of energy but the faster swimmer just does things in faster time, then the faster swimmer should develop more power from shorter time

A 100-kg tackler moving at a speed of 2.6 m/s meets head-on (and holds on to) an 92-kg halfback moving at a speed of 5.0 m/s. Pa
DIA [1.3K]

Given that,

Mass of trackler, m₁ = 100 kg

Speed of trackler, u₁ = 2.6 m/s

Mass of halfback, m₂ = 92 kg

Speed of halfback, u₂ = -5 m/s (direction is opposite)

To find,

Mutual speed immediately after the collision.

Solution,

The momentum of the system remains conserved in this case. Let v is the mutual speed after the collision. Using conservation of momentum as :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V\\\\V=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}\\\\V=\dfrac{100\times 2.6+92\times (-5)}{(100+92)}\\\\V=-1.04\ m/s

So, the mutual speed immediately after the collision is 1.04 m/s but in opposite direction.
