Answer:
Winner wins by 0.969 s
Explanation:
For the Porche:
Given:
Displacement of Porsche s = 400 m
Acceleration of Porsche a = 3.4 m/s^2
From Newton's second equation of motion,
(u = 0 as the car was initially at rest)
Substituting the values into the equation, we have
= 235.29 / 3.4
t = 15.33 s
For the Honda:
Displacement of Honda = 310 m
Acceleration of Honda = 3 m/s^2
Applying Newton's second equation of motion
(u = 0 for same reason)
Substituting the values into the equation, we obtain
= 620 / 3
t = 14.37 s
Hence
The winner (honda) wins by a time interval of = 15.33 - 14.37
=0.969 s
Given that the mass is m = 0.2 kg and the displacement is x = 3 cm = 0.03 m
We have to find the spring constant and potential energy.
The spring constant can be calculated by the formula
Here, k is the spring constant.
g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity.
Substituting the values, the spring constant will be
The potential energy can be calculated as
