(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

Consider a household that uses 22.0 kW-hour of electricity per day on average. Most of that electricity is supplied by fossil fu
Lelu [443]

Answer:

A_{net} = 13.469\,m^{2}

Explanation:

The daily energy consumption of the household is:

\Delta E_{day} = (22\,kWh)\cdot (\frac{3600000\,J}{1\,kWh} )

\Delta E_{day} = 79200000\,J

The needed area of solar panel to power the household is:

\Delta E_{day} = \eta\cdot G\cdot A_{net}\cdot \Delta t

A_{net} = \frac{\Delta E_{day}}{\eta\cdot G\cdot \Delta t}

A_{net} = \frac{79200000\,J}{(0.181)\cdot (376\,\frac{W}{m^{2}} )\cdot (86400\,s)}

A_{net} = 13.469\,m^{2}

Rachel has been reading her physics book. She takes her weighing scales into an elevator and stands on them. If her normal weigh
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

345 N

Explanation:

Given:

Normal weight of Rachel (mg) = 690 N

Case 1: Upward motion of elevator

Given:

Acceleration of elevator (a) = 0.25 g

The scale reading is given by the normal force acting on Rachel. Let N₁ be the normal force.

So, the net force acting on Rachel is given as:

F_{net}=N_1-mg=N_1-690

Now, from Newton's second law:

F_{net}=ma\\\\N_1-690=m\times 0.25g\\\\N_1-690=0.25\times (mg)\\\\N_1-690=0.25\times 690\\\\N_1=690+172.5=862.5\ N------(1)

Case 2: Downward motion of elevator

Given:

Acceleration of elevator (a) = 0.25 g

The scale reading is given by the normal force acting on Rachel. Let N₂ be the normal force.

So, the net force acting on Rachel is given as:

F_{net}=mg-N_2=690-N_2

Now, from Newton's second law:

F_{net}=ma\\\\690-N_2=m\times 0.25g\\\\690-N_2=0.25\times (mg)\\\\690-N_2=0.25\times 690\\\\N_2=690-172.5=517.5\ N------(2)

Now, the difference in the scale reading is obtained by subtracting equation (2) from equation (1). This gives,

Difference=N_1-N_2=862.5-517.5=345\ N

Therefore, the difference between the up and down scale readings is 345 N.

Object A has mass mA = 9 kg and initial momentum vector pA,i = &lt; 20, -6, 0 &gt; kg · m/s, just before it strikes object B, wh
love history [14]

Answer:

p= kg m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is a vector quantity that represents the "amount of motion" of an object.

Mathematically, the momentum of an object is given by

p=mv

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity

Since momentum is a vector, it also has a direction, which is the same as the velocity.

Therefore, if we have two objects, the total momentum of the two objects will be obtained from the vector sum of the individual momenta of the two objects.

In this problem we have:

p_A=  kg m/s is the momentum of object A

p_B = kg m/s is the momentum of object B

Therefore, the total momentum of objects A and B can be obtained by adding each components of A to the corresponding component of B, so:

p_x = 20 +6 = 26 kg m/s\\p_y = -6 +6 = 0 kg m/s\\p_z = 0 + 0 = 0 kg m/s

So the total initial momentum is

p= kg m/s

A compressed spring has elastic potential energy. Please select the best answer from the choices provided T F
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer: True

Explanation:

As the spring is compressed, it acumulates energy, and the spring "wants to release that energy". This acumulated energy, (potential energy) is called "elastic potential energy" because of the elastical nature of the spring, that when compressed it wants to return to the original shape. So the sentence is true
