8. A car moving at 35 m/s has 675 joules of KE. What is the mass of the car?

1 answer:

6 0

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body in motion while potential energy is the energy of a body at rest.
Kinetic energy is given by E=1/2MV² where M is the mass of the body while V is the velocity of the body.
To get mass we can use the formula M= 2 Ek/V² (Making M the subject)
hence mass = (2 ×675)÷35²
= 1.102 kg

A 5.50-kg object is hung from the bottom end of a vertical spring fastened to an overhead beam. The object is set into vertical

Answer:

17.71N/m

Explanation:

The period of the spring is expressed according to the expression;

$T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } \\$

m is the mass of the object

k is the force constant

Given

m = 5.50kg

T = 3.50s

Substitute into the formula;

$T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } \\3.5 = 2 (3.14) \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\3.5 = 6.28 \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\\frac{3.5}{6.28} = \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\0.557 = \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\square \ both \ sides\\0.557^2 = (\sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} })^2 \\0.3106 = \frac{5,5}{k}\\k = \frac{5.5}{0.3106}\\k = 17.71N/m$
