A 950-kg car strikes a huge spring at a speed of 22m/s (fig. 11-54), compressing the spring 5.0m. (a) what is the spring stiffne

ss constant of the spring? (b) how long is the car in contact with the spring before it bounces off in the opposite direction?

(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

A 0.50-kg object moves in a horizontal circular track with a radius of 2.5 m. An external forceof 3.0 N, always tangent to the t

kodGreya [7K]

The work done by the force is 47.1 J

Explanation:

The work done by a force in moving an object is given by

$W=Fd cos \theta$ (1)

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the distance covered by the object

$\theta$ is the angle between the direction of the force and the motion of the object

In this problem, the force applied to the object is

F = 3.0 N

This force is always tangential to the track: this means that at every instant, the force is parallel to the motion of the object, so

$\theta=0$

And the distance covered is equal to the circumference of the circle, which is:

$d=2\pi r=2\pi (2.5 m)=15.7 m$

where r = 2.5 m is the radius.

Now we can substitute into eq.(1) to find the work done:

$W=(3.0)(15.7)(cos 0)=47.1 J$

A wooden plaque is in the shape of an ellipse with height 30 centimeters and width 22 centimeters. Find an equation for the elli

Volgvan

Answer:

Explanation:

height of Ellipse $=30 cm$

i.e. $2 a=30$

Width of Ellipse $=22 cm$

i.e. $2 b=22$

Equation of a vertical Ellipse is

$\frac{x^2}{b^2}+\frac{y^2}{a^2}=1$

$a=15 ,b =11$

$\frac{x^2}{11^2}+\frac{y^2}{15^2}=1$

at $y=4 cm$

$\frac{x^2}{11^2}+\frac{4^2}{15^2}=1$

$x=\frac{11}{15}\times \sqrt{15^2-4^2}$

$x=10.6 cm$

A 2kg ball is thrown with an acceleration of 15m/s2. A 2kg ball is thrown with an acceleration of 10m/s2. Which ball

DerKrebs [107]

A :-) for this question , we should apply
F = ma
( i ) Given - m = 2 kg
a = 15 m/s^2
Solution :
F = ma
F = 2 x 15
F = 30 N

( ii ) Given - m = 2 kg
a = 10 m/s^2
Solution :
F = ma
F = 2 x 10
F = 20 N

.:. The net force of object ( i ) has greater force compared to object ( ii ) by
( 30 - 20 ) 10 N
