Answer:

Incomplete Question

Explanation:

String constant is not stated

I'll solve this in a general way.

At the end of my explanation, I'll assume any value for string constant.

The total weight on the taptap : Weight of people + Weight of goats + Weight of chickens + weight of banana

= (25 * 66) + (3 * 15) + (5 * 3) + 25 = 1735 kg

The gravitational force exerted on the taptap

Fig = m*g

where m = the total mass 1735kg

and g = 9.8m/s²

Hooke's law of Elasticity states that

Fs = Kx

Where Fs = spring force

k = spring constant

x = spring stretch or compression

Since Fs = Fg

So, Kx = mg

Make x the subject of the formula

x = mg/k --------------- This is the general way of solving for spring compressor in cases like this

I'll replace m and g with their values, respectively.

Because, the spring constant (k) is omitted in the question, I'll assume it to be 30000

x = 1735 * 9.8/30000

x = 17003/30000

x = 0.566767 metres

x = 0.57 metres ------------- Approximated

In conclusion, the spring compression is 0.57 metres if the spring constant is 30000

Neko [114]

Answer:

the time at which it passes through the equilibrum position is:

t = 0.1 second

Explanation:

given

w= 4pounds

k(spring constant) = 2lb/ft

g(gravitational constant) = 10m/s² = 32ft/s²

β(initial point above equilibrum) = 1

velocity = 14ft/s

attached is an image showing the calculations, because some of the parameters aren't convenient to type.

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

A. less

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is directly proportional to it mass and velocity. It is the product of mass and velocity of the object. Given as

$Momentum (p) = Mass (m) \times Velocity (v)$

So the momentum of car,

$p_{c} = m_{c}\times v_{c}$

Momentum of truck,

$p_{t} = m_{t}\times v_{t}$

We know that, mass of car is less than that of truck and velocity of the two are same. It is implied that, momentum of car will be less than that of truck.
