A spring with a force constant of 120 N/m is used to push a 0.27-kg block of wood against a wall

Physics

Answer

given,

Spring force constant = 120 N/m

mass of the wooden block = 0.27 Kg

coefficient of friction = 0.46

a) we know,  

   μ N = mg

   0.46 x N = 0.27 x 9.8

   N = 5.75 Newton

This should be the normal force on the block by the wall. Thus minimum spring force should be 5.75 newton.

             F = k x d

k = spring constant,

d = compression in spring)

5.75 = 120 x d

  d = 0.048 m

  d = 4.8 cm

b)  answer will  change if the mass of block is doubled.

mass becomes = 0.54 kg

the normal force  needed = 11.4 newton.

the compression becomes  = 9.6 cm.

If 14:15=42:x find the value of x​
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

x=45

Explanation:

by taking 42 and dividing it by 14 you get 1/3, because 14 is 1/3 of 42 you can then see that the ratio is multiplied by 3. si then you can just multiply 15 by 3 to get 45

A car slows from 27 m/s to 5 m/s with a constant acceleration for 6.87 s. What is the car’s acceleration?
Kobotan [32]

In this case, the movement is uniformly delayed (the final rapidity is less than the initial rapidity), therefore, the value of the acceleration will be negative.

1. The following equation is used:

a = (Vf-Vo)/ t

a: acceleration (m/s2)

Vf: final rapidity (m/s)

Vo: initial rapidity (m/s)

t: time (s)

2. Substituting the values in the equation:

a = (5 m/s- 27 m/s)/6.87 s

3. The car's acceleration is:

a= -3.20 m/ s<span>^2</span>

An observer on the earth sees a spaceship approaching at 0.54c. The ship then launches an exploration vehicle that, according to
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Expression for relative velocity

= \frac{v_1+v_2}{1+\frac{v_1v_2}{c^2} }

= (.54 + .82 )c/ 1+ \frac{.54 \times.82}{1}

= 1.36 c / 1.4428

= .94 c

β = .94
