Answer:

2697.75N/m

Explanation:

Step one

This problem bothers on energy stored in a spring.

Step two

Given data

Compression x= 2cm

To meter = 2/100= 0.02m

Mass m= 0.01kg

Height h= 5.5m

K=?

Let us assume g= 9.81m/s²

Step three

According to the principle of conservation of energy

We know that the the energy stored in a spring is

E= 1/2kx²

1/2kx²= mgh

Making k subject of formula we have

kx²= 2mgh

k= 2mgh/x²

k= (2*0.01*9.81*5.5)/0.02²

k= 1.0791/0.0004

k= 2697.75N/m

Hence the spring constant k is 2697.75N/m

When the wedges are removed, the cars will move. Predict which direction they will move and when they will stop
Neko [114]

Answer: hello your question lacks the required diagram attached below is the required diagram

answer : Both cars will move backwards and stop due to friction.

Explanation:

Given that both cars are negatively charged, When the wedges are removed both cars will move backwards ( repelling each other ) because they are like poles, and Like poles repel each other. while unlike poles attract each other ( forward movement )  .

The cars will later come to a stop due to frictional forces between the cars and the surface.

A boat is traveling at an initial velocity of 2.7 meters per second in the positive direction. It accelerates at a rate of 0.15
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 4.5 \ m/s \ in \ the  \ positive \ direction}}

Explanation:

We are asked to find the final velocity of the boat.

We are given the initial velocity, acceleration, and time. Therefore, we will use the following kinematic equation.

v_f= v_i + at

The initial velocity is 2.7 meters per second. The acceleration is 0.15 meters per second squared. The time is 12 seconds.

  • v_i= 2.7 m/s
  • a= 0.15 m/s²
  • t= 12 s

Substitute the values into the formula.

v_f = 2.7 \ m/s + (0.15 \ m/s^2)(12 \ s)

Multiply the numbers in parentheses.

v_f= 2.7 \ m/s + (0.15 \ m/s/s * 12 \ s)

v_f = 2.7 \ m/s + (0.15 \ m/s *12)

\v_f=2.7 \ m/s + (1.8 \ m/s)v_f=2.7 \ m/s + (1.8 \ m/s)

Add.

v_f=4.5 \ m/s

The final velocity of the boat is <u>4.5 meters per second in the positive direction.</u>

Runner A is initially 6.0 km west of a flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 9.0 km/h due east. Runner B is initia
sergejj [24]

Answer:

0.176m from the flagpole, westward.

Explanation:

Let the Eastward be the positive direction. So initially runner A is at position -6km, running with velocity of 9km/h while runner B is at position 5km running at a velocity of -8km/h. We can conduct the following equation for their distances over the same time t

s_A = -6 + 9t

s_B = 5 - 8t

When A an B meets, they are at the same position and at the same time. So

s_A = s_B

-6 +9t = 5 - 8t

17t = 5 + 6 = 11

t = 11/17 = 0.647 s

s_A = -6 + 9*0.647 = -0.176 m

So where they meet is 0.176m from the flagpole, westward.
