Answer:
The arrow is at a height of 500 feet at time t = 2.35 seconds.
Explanation:
It is given that,
An arrow is shot vertically upward at a rate of 250 ft/s, v₀ = 250 ft/s
The projectile formula is given by :

We need to find the time(s), in seconds, the arrow is at a height of 500 ft. So,

On solving the above quadratic equation, we get the value of t as, t = 2.35 seconds
So, the arrow is at a height of 500 feet at time t = 2.35 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
k = 9.6 x 10^5 N/m or 9.6 kN/m
Explanation:
First, we need to use the expression to calculate the spring constant which is:
w² = k/m
Solving for k:
k = w²*m
To get the angular velocity:
w = 2πf
The problem is giving the linear velocity of the car which is 5.7 m/s. With this we can calculate the frequency of the car:
f = V/x
f = 5.7 / 4.9 = 1.16 Hz
Now the angular velocity:
w = 2π*1.16
w = 7.29 rad/s
Finally, solving for k:
k = (7.29)² * 1800
k = 95,659.38 N/m
In two significant figures it'll ve 9.6 kN/m
