Answer:

5.11 kg

Explanation:

Hooke's law states that stress is directly proportional to strain. It can be represented by the equation:

F = -kx

Where x is the displacement of the spring’s end from its equilibrium position, F is the force applied to the spring, k is a constant known as spring constant.

At first a force (F) of 62 N i used to stretch a spring by 12 cm (x).

Substituting into Hooke's equation:

F = kx

k = F/x = 62 / 12 = 5.17 N/cm

The spring is then held vertically and an object. The object is acted by upon by acceleration due to gravity since it is vertically upward. Therefore the force created by the object F = mg where g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s². It causes a stretch (x) of 9.7 cm

Therefore:

mg =  5.17 N/cm × 9.7 cm

9.81m = 50.117

m = 50.117 / 9.81 = 5.11 kg

Pls how to solve this problem. help would be appreciated ​
Bingel [31]

Answer:

80 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

a = -5 m/s²

v = 0 m/s

Δx = 640 m

Find: v₀

v² = v₀² + 2a(x − x₀)

(0 m/s)² = v₀² + 2(-5 m/s²) (640 m)

v₀ = 80 m/s

Consider and mass of a material​
Leni [432]

Answer:Density is the mass of an object divided by its volume. Density often has units of grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm3). ... You probably have an intuitive feeling for density in the materials you use often. For example, sponges are low in density; they have a low mass per unit volume.

The linear momentum of a car of mass 1000 kg moving with a speed of 10 m/s is-----kg.m/s. HELP ME
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

The kilogram-meter per second (kg · m/s or kg · m · s -1 ) is the standard unit of momentum . Reduced to base units in the International System of Units ( SI ), a kilogram-meter per second is the equivalent of a newton-second (N · s), which is the SI unit of impulse .

An object is initially moving at an unknown velocity. It accelerates at a rate of 1.5m/s2 to a new velocity of 60 m/s in 25 s. W
Alexandra [31]
<h3>Answer:  22.5 m/s</h3>

=====================================================

Work Shown:

acceleration = ( finalVelocity - initialVelocity )/(change in time)

1.5 = (60 - x)/(25)

1.5*25 = 60-x

37.5 = 60-x

x = 60-37.5

x = 22.5

The initial velocity is 22.5 m/s
