Answer:
0.67m/s²
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of toy = 1.2kg
Force applied = 0.8N
Unknown:
Acceleration = ?
Solution:
According to newton's second law of motion;
Force = mass x acceleration
Now,
Acceleration =
Acceleration = = 0.67m/s²
Answer:
Speed will be equal to 1.40 m/sec
Explanation:
Mass of the rubber ball m = 5.24 kg = 0.00524 kg
Spring is compressed by 5.01 cm
So x = 5.01 cm = 0.0501 m
Spring constant k = 8.08 N/m
Frictional force f = 0.031 N
Distance moved by ball d = 15.8 cm = 0.158 m
Energy gained by spring
Energy lost due to friction
So remained energy to move the ball = 0.0101 - 0.0048 = 0.0052 J
This energy will be kinetic energy
v = 1.40 m/sec
