Answer:

Displacement, x = 0.25 m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Spring constant, k = 10 N/m

Force, F = 2.5 N

We have to find the displacement of a spring. It can be calculated using Hooke's law i.e.

F = - kx

$x=\dfrac{F}{k}$

$x=\dfrac{2.5\ N}{10\ N/m}$

x = 0.25 m

Hence, the displacement of the spring is 0.25 m.

The kinetic energy of a moving object is E=12mv2. A 61 kg runner is moving at 10kmh. However, her speedometer is only accurate t

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

$e=3367.2J$

% $e=1.43$ %

Explanation:

From the exercise we know two information. The real speed and the experimental measured by the speedometer

$v_{r}=10km/h=2.77m/s$

Since the speedometer is only accurate to within 0.1km/h the experimental speed is

$v_{e}=10km/h-0.1km/h=9.9km/h=2.75m/s$

Knowing that we can calculate Kinetic energy for the real and experimental speed

$E_{r}=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}(61000g)(2.77m/s)^2=234023J$

$E_{e}=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}(61000g)(2.75m/s)^2=230656J$

Now, the potential error in her calculated kinetic energy is:

$e=E_{r}-E_{e}=(234023-230656)J=3367.2J$

% $e=\frac{E_{r}-E_{e}}{E_{r}}x100=\frac{(234023-230656)J}{234023J}x100=1.43$ %

All ball is thrown up with a vertical velocity of 54 m/s and a horizontal velocity of 39 m/s. Calculate how many seconds it will

VikaD [51]

5.5 s

Explanation:

The time it takes for the ball to reach its maximum height can be calculated using

$v_y = v_{0y} - gt \Rightarrow t = \dfrac{v_{0y}}{g}$

since $v_y = 0$ at the top of its trajectory. Plugging in the numbers,

$t = \dfrac{(54\:\text{m/s})}{(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)} = 5.5\:\text{s}$
