Answer:
29.16 J
Explanation:
From Hook's law,
W = 1/2(ke²)..................... Equation 1
Where W = work done, k = Spring constant, e = extension.
Given: W = 9 J, e = 0.5 m.
Substitute into equation 1
9 = 1/2(k×0.5²)
Solve for k
k = 18/0.5²
k = 72 N/m.
The work done required to stretch the spring by additional 0.4 m is
W = 1/2(72)(0.4+0.5)²
W = 36(0.9²)
W = 29.16 J.
Answer:
The object accelerates downward at 4 m/s² since the tension on the rope is less than weight of the object.
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the object, m = 2 kg
weigh of the object, W = 20 N
tension on the rope, T = 12 N
The acceleration of the object is calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion as follows;
T = F + W
T = ma + W
ma = T - W
(the negative sign indicates deceleration of the object)
The object accelerates downward at 4 m/s² since the tension on the rope is less than weight of the object.
