A 540 gram object is attached to a vertical spring, causing the spring’s length to change from 70 cm to 110 cm.

Answer:

Approximately 13\; {\rm N \cdot m^{-1}} (assuming that g = 9.81\; {\rm N \cdot kg^{-1}}.)

Explanation:

Let F_{\text{s}} denote the force that this spring exerts on the object. Let x denote the displacement of this spring from the equilibrium position.

By Hooke's Law, the spring constant k of this spring would ensure that F_\text{s} = -k\, x.

Note that the mass of the object attached to this spring is m = 540\; {\rm g} = 0.540\; {\rm kg}. Thus, the weight of this object would be m\, g = 0.540\; {\rm kg} \times 9.81\; {\rm N \cdot kg^{-1}} \approx 5.230\; {\rm N}.

Assuming that this object is not moving, the spring would need to exert an upward force of the same magnitude on the object. Thus, F_{\text{s}} = 5.230\; {\rm N}.

The spring in this question was stretched downward from its equilibrium by:

\begin{aligned} x &= (70\; {\rm cm} - 110\; {\rm cm}) \\ &= (-40)\; {\rm cm} \\ &= (-0.40) \; {\rm m}\end{aligned}.

(Note that x is negative since this displacement points downwards.)

Rearrange Hooke's Law to find k in terms of F_{\text{s}} and x:

\begin{aligned} k &= \frac{F_{\text{s}}}{-x} \\ &\approx \frac{5.230\; {\rm N}}{-(-0.40)\; {\rm m}} \\ &\approx 13\; {\rm N \cdot m^{-1}}\end{aligned}.

A car with mass m travels over a hill with a radius of curvature of r at a speed of 15 m/s. What is the normal force on the car
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

zero

Explanation:

The computation of the normal force is shown below:

As we know that

F_c = mg - N

F_c = mv^2 ÷ r

N = mg - mv^2 ÷ r

N = m(g - v^2 ÷ r)

Assume that

The mass of the car is 1200 kg

And, r = 10 m

So,

= 1200 (9.8 - 15^2 ÷ 10)

= -15240 N

Since it comes in negative so the normal force would be zero

In Figure 10-1, if the force exerted on a 3.0-kg backpack that is initally at rest is 20.0 N and the distance it acts over is 0.
pshichka [43]
I'm going to assume this is over a horizontal distance. You know from Newton's Laws that F=ma --> a = F/m. You also know from your equations of linear motion that v^2=v0^2+2ad. Combining these two equations gives you v^2=v0^2+2(F/m)d. We can plug in the given values to get v^2=0^2+2(20/3)0.25. Solving for v we get v=1.82 m/s!
