The force constant of the spring is determined as 14,222.2 N/m.

<h3>Force constant of the spring</h3>

Apply the principle of conservation of energy,

K.E = U

where;

  • K.E kinetic energy of the elevator
  • U is elastic potential energy of the spring

¹/₂mv² = ¹/₂kx²

mv² = kx²

k = mv²/x²

Where;

  • m is mass of the elevator
  • v is speed
  • x is compression of the spring

k = (2000 x 8²)/(3²)

k = 14,222.2 N/m

Thus, the force constant of the spring is determined as 14,222.2 N/m.

A car traveling 91 km/h is 280 m behind a truck traveling 76 km/h.
Olegator [25]

Answer:

speed of car = 95 km/h

speed of truck = 75 km/h

relative speed of car with respect to truck = 95 - 75 = 20 km/h

now we will convert it into m/s

now time to cross the truck will be given as

time = 19.8 s

so it will take 19.8 s to cross the truck

How old is a bone that has 12.5% of the original amount radioactive carbon 14 remaining?
nlexa [21]
Nuclear decay formula is N(t)=N₀*2^-(t/T), where N(t) is the amount of nuclear material in some moment t, N₀ is the original amount of nuclear material, t is time and T is the half life of the material, in this case carbon 14. In our case N(t)=12.5% of N₀ or N(t)=0.125*N₀, T=5730 years and we need to solve for t:

0.125*N₀=N₀*2^-(t/T), N₀ cancels out and we get:

0.125=2^-(t/T), 

ln(0.125)=ln(2^-(t/T))

ln(0.125)=-(t/T)*ln(2), we divide by ln(2),

ln(0.125)/ln(2)=-t/T, multiply by T,

{ln(0.125)/ln(2)}*T=-t, divide by (-1) and plug in T=5730 years,

{ln(0.125)/[-ln(2)]}*5730=t

t=3*5730=17190 years.

The bone is t= 17190 years old.

A meteorologist tracks the movement of a thunderstorm with Doppler radar. At 8:00pm the storm was 55 mi northeast of her station
Rus_ich [418]
At 8:00 pm, the velocity of the storm is 55 mi northeast. Assuming that the direction is exactly northeast, the angle is 45°
At 11:00 pm, the velocity is 75 mi north. The angle is 90°
In vector form
55 ∠ 45°
and
75 ∠ 90°
The magnitude and direction of the average velocity is
(55 ∠ 45° + 75 ∠ 90° ) / 3

Two bullets of the same size, mass and horizontal velocity are fired at identical blocks, only one is made of steel and the othe
tatiyna

Answer and Explanation:

  • Since we're discussing shots, the significant thing is the way the energy is changed over as there is deceleration of the bullet to a halt when it hits something.
  • Kinetic Energy is relative to mass times speed squared, so in reality, the 2 cases given have practically indistinguishable Kinetic energy. The measure of energy is authoritative, so the two cases will do generally a similar harm given, obviously we look at situations when all the kinetic energy is spent.
  • One contrast that will be effectively obvious is that the weapon in the case of heavy bullet will recoil more.  
  • One can consider energy assimilation as force times separation distance, and energy ingestion as a product of force and time.
  • Henceforth, the heavier yet more slow bullet with a similar energy will venture to every part of a similar separation in the engrossing material, but since of bigger force, will take a more drawn out time doing it.
  • It will along these lines, additionally, give a more noteworthy "kick" to the object that absorbs.

Tarzan swings on a 26.2 m long vine initially inclined at an angle of 28° from the vertical. (a) What is his speed at the bottom
Marianna [84]

Answer

given,

length of the swing = 26.2 m

inclined at an angle = 28°

let, the initial height of the Tarzan be h

h = L (1 - cos θ)

a) initial velocity v₁ = 0 m/s

   final velocity of Tarzan = v_f

law of conservation of energy

  PE_i + KE_i = PE_f + KE_f

mgh_i + \dfrac{1}{2}mv_i^2= mgh_f + \dfrac{1}{2}mv_f^2

       mgh_i + 0 = 0 + \dfrac{1}{2}mv_f^2

          mgh_i = \dfrac{1}{2}mv_f^2

             v_f = \sqrt{2gh_i}

                   = \sqrt{2gL(1- cos\theta)}

                   = \sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 26.2(1- cos 28^0)}

                          = 7.75 m/s

the speed tarzan at the bottom of the swing

v_f = 7.75 m/s

b)initial speed of the  = 3 m/s

mgh_i + \dfrac{1}{2}mv_i^2= mgh_f + \dfrac{1}{2}mv_f^2

       mgh_i + 0 = 0 + \dfrac{1}{2}mv_f^2

          mgh_i+ \dfrac{1}{2}mv_i^2 = \dfrac{1}{2}mv_f^2

          gh_i+ \dfrac{1}{2}v_i^2 = \dfrac{1}{2}v_f^2

             v_f = \sqrt{v_1^2+2gh_i}

             v_f = \sqrt{3^2+2\times 9.8 \times (1- cos 28^0)}

                       v_f= 11.29 m/s
