Answer:

<em>The total length of the spring would be 0.65 m</em>

Explanation:

The Concept

Hooke's law evaluates the increment of  spring in relation to the force acting on the body. Hooke's law states that for a spring undergoing deformation, the  force applied is directly proportional to the deformation experienced by the spring. Hooke's law is represented thus;

F = k x ..................1

where F is the force applied to the spring

k is the spring constant

x is the spring stretch or extension

Step by Step Calculations

We have to obtain x before adding it to the nominal length, We make x the subject formula in equation 1;

x = F/k

but F = m x g

so, x = (m x g)/k

given that, the mass of the person m =150 kg

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^{2}

k is the spring constant = 10000 N/m

then x = (9.81 m/s^{2} x 150 kg)/10000 N/m

x = 0.14715 m

the extension experienced by the spring after the compression is 0.14715 m

The total length of the spring would be;

L = 0.14715 m + 0.5 m = 0.64715

L ≈  0.65 m

Therefore the total length of the spring would be 0.65 m

The displacement is the shortest distance between two points, which is 546.41. The displacement for both is 546.41 meters

Average velocity of X = (200 + 200 + 200) / 30
Average velocity of X = 20 m/s

Average velocity of Y = 546.41 / 30 = 18.2 m/s

1. A perspex box has a 10 cm square base and contains water to a height of 10 cm. A piece of rock of mass 600g is lowered into t
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

(a) The volume of water is 100 cm³

(b) The volume of the rock is 20 cm³

(c) The density of the rock is 30 g/cm³

Explanation:

The given parameters of the perspex box are;

The area of the base of the box, A = 10 cm²

The initial level of water in the box, h₁ = 10 cm

The mass of the rock placed in the box, m = 600 g

The final level of water in the box, h₂ = 12 cm

(a) The volume of water in the box, 'V', is given as follows;

V = A × h₁

∴ The volume of water in the box, V = 10 cm² × 10 cm = 100 cm³

The volume of water in the box, V = 100 cm³

(b) When the rock is placed in the box the total volume, V_T, is given by the sum of the rock, V_r, and the  water, V, is given as follows;

V_T = V_r + V

V_T = A × h₂

∴ V_T = 10 cm² × 12 cm = 120 cm³

The total volume, V_T = 120 cm³

The volume of the rock, V_r = V_T - V

∴ V_r = 120 cm³ - 100 cm³ = 20 cm³

The volume of the rock, V_r = 20 cm³

(c) The density of the rock, ρ = (Mass of the rock, m)/(The volume of the rock)

∴ The density of the rock, ρ = 600 g/(20 cm³) = 30 g/cm³
