Car enthusiasts often lower their cars closer to the ground as a matter of style. James wants to lower his car by replacing all

four of his original coil springs with new ones offered as an option by the car manufacturer. Note that changing the coil springs on a car can unsafely affect its handling. Consult your national or state laws before altering the suspension on any car. The new springs will be identical to the original springs, except the force constant will be 5855.00 N/m smaller. When James removes the original springs, he discovers that the length of each spring expands from 8.55 cm (its length when installed) to 12.00 cm (its length with no load placed on it). If the mass of the car body is 1355.00 kg, by how much will the body be lowered with the new springs installed, compared to its original height?

Answer:

0.05 cm

Explanation:

The compression of the original spring = 12 - 8.55 cm = 3.45 cm = 0.0345 m

By Hooke's law, F = ke

Where F is the applied force, k is the spring constant and e is the extension or compression. In the question, F is the weight of the car.

k = F/e = 1355 × 9.8 / 0.0345 = 384898.55 N/m

This is the spring constant of the original spring. The question mentions that the force constant of the new spring is 5855.00 N/m smaller. Hence, the force constant of the new spring is 384898.55 - 5855 = 379043.55 N/m

With the new spring installed, the compression will be

e = F/k = 1355 × 9.8 / 379043.55 = 0.035 m = 3.5 cm

The difference in the compressions of both springs = 3.5 cm - 3.45 cm = 0.05 cm

Electricity is the movement of _____ from one atom to another along a conductor.
prohojiy [21]

The sentence can be completed as follows:

"Electricity is the movement of charges from one atom to another along a conductor."


The movement of the the charges is due to the presence of a potential difference across the conductor, which pushes the charges. More specifically, in normal conductors, the carriers of electricity are the electrons. Therefore we can rewrite the sentence as

"Electricity is the movement of electrons from one atom to another along a conductor."

A student places a block on a table and hangs one mass from the block. The student lets the block go and observes the block move
NeTakaya

Magnitude of acceleration

Explanation:

We know that acceleration can increase depending in the force applied on an object, any object with a greater mass will apply a greater force. F = M(a).

How come in free fall you feel weightless even though gravity is pulling down on you?
AysviL [449]
Feeling of Weight.

When walking, you feel the weight on your feet, therefore, your brain automatically refers to it as a source of weight.

In the air there is no platform to land on, therefore the brain does not have the conscience to register you getting pulled down.

A ball, which has a mass of 1.25 kg, is thrown straight up from the top of a building 225 meters tall with a velocity of 52.0 m/
Elena-2011 [213]

First we will find the speed of the ball just before it will hit the floor

so in order to find the speed of the cart we will first use energy conservation

KE_i + PE_i = KE_f + PE_f

\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 + 0

\frac{1}{2}(1.25)(52)^2 + 1.25(9.8)(225) = \frac{1}{2}(1.25)v_f^2

So by solving above equation we will have

v_f = 84.3 m/s

now in order to find the momentum we can use

P = mv

P = 1.25 \times 84.3

P = 105.4 kg m/s

A student standing on a knoll throws a snowball horizontally 4.5 meters above the level ground toward a smokestack 15 meters awa
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

2.4 m

Explanation:

Consider the motion along the vertical direction

y_{o} = initial position of ball above the ground = 4.5 m

t = time taken by the ball to hit the smokestack = 0.65 s

v_{oy} = initial velocity of the ball along vertical direction

a_{y} = acceleration due to gravity = - 9.8 m/s²

y = position of ball at the time of hitting the smokestack

Using the kinematics equation

y = y_{o} + v_{oy} t + (0.5) a_{y} t^{2}

inserting the above values

y = 4.5 + (0) (0.65) + (0.5) (- 9.8) (0.65)^{2} \\y = 2.4 m
