The work done in the spring is calculated to be 2.8 J

<h3>What is Hooke's law?</h3>

Hooke's law states that, the extension of a given material is directly proportional to the applied force as long as the elastic limit is not exceeded . First, we must bear in mind that the material must remain within the elastic limit for us to apply the Hooke's law in solving the problem.

Now;

From Hooke's law;

F = Ke

F = force applied

K = force constant

e = extension

F = W = mg =  2.50 - kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 24.5 N

K = 24.5 N/ 2.76 * 10^-2

K = 888 N/m

e = F/K

F = W =  1.25 - kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 12.25 N

e = 12.25 N/ 888 N/m = 0.014 m or 1.4 cm

Work done by an external agent = 1/2 Kx^2

= 0.5 * 888 * (8 * 10^-2)^2

= 2.8 J

Answer:

A. Here object is moving with increasing velocity

B. Here the object is moving with decreasing velocity that is it is decelerating

C. Here the initial and final velocity are the same so the object moves at constant velocity

D. Here the object started from rest but reached a certain velocity with time so a non zero acceleration was attained

A soccer player is running upfield at 10m/s and comes to a stop in 3 seconds facing the same direction. What is his acceleration
fenix001 [56]
-10/3m/s2. The formula for acceleration is (Final speed - initial speed)/ time.
Thus, (0m/s - 10m/s)/3s is 10m/s/3s which then can be simplified to /10/3m/s2
