(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 that the space shuttle Columbia accelerates at 14.0 m/s2 for 8.50 minutes after takeoff.
givi [52]

Answer:

A. speed = 7.14 Km/s

B. distance = 1820.7 Km

Explanation:

Given that: a = 14.0 m/s^{2}, t = 8.50 minutes.

But,

t = 8.50 = 8.50 x 60

  = 510 seconds

A. By applying the first equation of motion, the speed of the shuttle at the end of 8.50 minutes can be determined by;

v = u + at

where: v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

u = 0

So that,

v = 14 x 510

 = 7140 m/s

The speed of the shuttle at the end of 8.50 minute is 7.14 Km/s.

B. the distance traveled can be determined by applying second equation of motion.

s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

where: s is the distance, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

u = 0

s = \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

  = \frac{1}{2} x 14 x (510)^{2}

 = 7 x 260100

 = 1820700 m

The distance that the shuttle has traveled during the given time is  1820.7 Km.

How are magnetic and electric fields similar?
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Similarities between magnetic fields and electric fields: ... Magnetic fields are associated with two magnetic poles, north and south, although they are also produced by charges (but moving charges). Like poles repel; unlike poles attract. Electric field points in the direction of the force experienced by a positive charge ...

Explanation:

copied and pasted from google. I copied and pasted your question into google and got this exact answer

Here is another thing from the same website just not shortened:

Similarities between magnetic fields and electric fields:

- Electric fields are produced by two kinds of charges, positive and negative. Magnetic fields are associated with two magnetic poles, north and south, although they are also produced by charges (but moving charges).

- Like poles repel; unlike poles attract

- Electric field points in the direction of the force experienced by a positive charge. Magnetic field points in the direction of the force experienced by a north pole.

Differences between magnetic fields and electric fields:

- Positive and negative charges can exist separately. North and south poles always come together. Single magnetic poles, known as magnetic monopoles, have been proposed theoretically, but a magnetic monopole has never been observed.

- Electric field lines have definite starting and ending points. Magnetic field lines are continuous loops. Outside a magnet the field is directed from the north pole to the south pole. Inside a magnet the field runs from south to north.
