Answer:

1keff=1k1+1k2

see further explanation

Explanation:for clarification

Show that the effective force constant of a series combination is given by 1keff=1k1+1k2. (Hint: For a given force, the total distance stretched by the equivalent single spring is the sum of the distances stretched by the springs in combination. Also, each spring must exert the same force. Do you see why?

From Hooke's law , we know that the force exerted on an elastic object is directly proportional to the extension provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded.

Now the spring is in series combination

F\alphae

F=ke

k=f/e.........*

where k is the force constant or the constant of proportionality

k=f/e

f_{eff} =f_{1} +f_{2}............................1

also for effective force constant

divide all through by extension

1) Total force is

Ft=F1+F2

Ft=k1e1+k2e2

F = k(e1+e2) 2)

Since force on the 2 springs is the same, so

k1e1=k2e2

e1=F/k1 and e2=F/k2,

and e1+e2=F/keq

Substituting e1 and e2, you get

1/keq=1/k1+1/k2

Hint: For a given force, the total distance stretched by the equivalent single spring is the sum of the distances stretched by the springs in combination.

A skier starts from rest down a slope 500.0 M long, the skier accelerates at a constant rate of 2.00 m/s/s, what's the velocity
nevsk [136]
We can use the kinematic equation
(v_f)^2 = (v_i)^2 + 2*a*d
where Vf is what we are looking for
Vi is 0 since we start from rest
a is acceleration
and d is the distance

we get
(Vf)^2 = (0)^2 + 2*(2)*(500)
(Vf)^2 = 2000
Vf = about 44.721
or 44.7 m/s   [if you are rounding this by significant figures]

The engine of a 2000 kg Mercedes going up Pike’s Peak delivers energy to its drive wheel at the rate 100 kW . Neglecting air res
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

v = 10 m/s

Explanation:

given,

Mass of Mercedes engine = 2000 Kg

Power delivered = 100 kW

angle made with horizontal = 30°

acceleration due to gravity =  10 m/s²

largest speed car can sustain = ?

we know,

Power = Force x velocity

P = F x v

P = mg sinθ x v

P = mg sin 30° x v

P = 0.5 mg  x v

v = \dfrac{100 \times 10^3}{0.5\times 2000 \times 10}

v = 10 m/s

hence, the maximum velocity is equal to v = 10 m/s

A 35kg cannonball sits at rest on a flat level surface. What is the normal force exerted on the cannon ball. Use -9.8 m/s2 for a
Tom [10]

Answer:

a) N = 343 [N]

Explanation:

We must remember Newton's third law, which tells us that the force acting on a body is equal to the normal reaction force of equal magnitude but acting in the opposite direction.

N=m*g

where:

m = mass = 35 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

N = 35*9.8\\N= 343 [N]
