Given: Mass m = 0.50 Kg;     Force = Weight = mg   F = (0.50 Kg)(9.8 m/s²)

                                               F = 4.9 N      

Displacement  x = 3.0 cm   convert to meter   x = 0.03 m

Required: Spring constant  k = "

Formula:  F = kx

                k = F/x

                k = 4.9 N/0.03 m

                k = 163.33 N/m

How much force is required to accelerate a 12 kg mass at 5 m/s 2
Savatey [412]

Answer:

60 N

Explanation:

This is just Newton's Second Law

F = m*a

F = ?

m = 12 kg

a = 5 m/^2

F = 5*12 = 60 Newtons

Summerize how friction and inertia act on an object sliding on a flat surface
natta225 [31]
Inertia is when a object in motion will stay in motion or in a standing still state unless acted upon by a unbalancing force.
Friction is when a object slows down because it is rubbing against another object.

If a object is sliding across a surface, theoretically, it would not stop but because it is on a flat surface it would experience friction, this will disperse some of the kinetic energy that it has thus slowing the object down eventually, after some time, to a stop.

Hope this helps! :)

Why does a properly adjusted head restraint help prevent head and neck injuries to occupants in rear-end collisions? Explain you
hammer [34]
When a car hits you in a rear end collision, the car initially has a momentum going in one direction. This causes your car to move in the same direction that car was moving even if you were at rest. So, for conservation of momentum, you initially have momentum going in the east direction for example, after the collision, you will have a change in momentum which causes you to have a velocity in the west direction. This is because you are initially at rest and then there is a sudden change in velocity so when you speed up, that momentum causes you to move backwards. If you don't have a properly adjusted neckrest you could may experience whiplash.
