(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

Suppose a spring has a relaxed length of 28.3 cm. The simulation refers to this as the natural length. This is the length of the
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Normal length of spring = 28.3 cm

stretched length of spring = 38.2 cm

length of extension = 38.2 - 28.3 = 9.9 cm

= 9.9 x 10⁻² m

force applied to stretch = .55 x 9.8 ( mg )

= 5.39 N

Force constant = force applied / extension

= 5.39 / 9.9 x 10⁻²

= .5444 x 10² N /m

= 54.44 N/m

One acre is equal to 43560ft².How much is it in m²?​
Goryan [66]

1 ft²= 0.09290304m²

so:

43560ft²= 0.09290304m²×43560

= 4,046.8564224 m²

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Difference threshold or also Just Noticeable Difference

Explanation:

The above mentioned case between room mates, where one room mate was able to detect a minute change in volume shows an instance of the difference threshold.

Difference threshold can be defined as stimulation at its minimum level that can be detected by an individual almost 50 % of the times.

It is the lowest possible level of sound that is detectable by a person.

That is what happened in the mentioned case that when the volume was increased from 14 to 15, Amber was able to detect it.
