<span>Answer: 1st, identify the givens and the unknown - this will give you parameter of what concept and formula are you going to use. Given: m= 1200kg v initial = 95km/hr v final = 0 2nd, focus on the units - in most cases units speak for the concept the unit of the unknown is kcal, thus its the unit of energy or work so, W = ? 3rd, provide the appropriate formula - give formula or equation that the given and the unknown are present since W = delta K.E =delta P.E W= 0.5m( vf^2 - vi^2) ---> best formula 4th, Substitute the given to the formula since 1 Joule = 1Nm 1N = 1kgms^-2 1cal = 4.19 J we express first 95 km/hr to m/s 95km/hr x 1000m/1km x 1hr/3600sec = 26.39 m/sec W= 0.5(1200kg)[(0^2- (26.39m/sec)^2] W=600 kg(0 - 696.43m^2/s^2) W=600kg(-696.43m^2/s^2) W=417859.3Nm or 417859.3 J W = 417859.3 J x 1 cal /4.19 J W = 99,727.7 cal or 99.728 kcal</span>

Work of 5 Joules is done in stretching a spring from its natural length to 19 cm beyond its natural length. What is the force (i
densk [106]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

5J work is done by stretching a spring

e = 19cm = 0.19m

Assuming the spring is ideal, then we can apply Hooke's law

F = kx

To calculate k, we can apply the Workdone by a spring formula

W=∫F.dx

Since F=kx

W = ∫kx dx from x = 0 to x = 0.19

W = ½kx² from x = 0 to x = 0.19

W = ½k (0.19²-0²)

5 = ½k(0.0361-0)

5×2 = 0.0361k

Then, k = 10/0.0361

k = 277.008 N/m

The spring constant is 277.008N/m

Then, applying Hooke's law to find the applied force

F = kx

F = 277.008 × 0.19

F = 52.63 N

The applied force is 52.63N

A clock moves past you at a speed of 0.9 c. How much time passes for you for each second that elapses on the moving clock?
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Explanation:

Time dilation formula is

T = T₀ / √ 1-v²/c²

T₀ is time elapsed in moving reference , T time elapsed in stationary reference.

Here T₀ = 1 second

T = 1/√ 1-0.9² = 1/.4358 = 2.3 second

So 2.3 second will pass for each second on moving reference.
