A horizontal spring with spring constant 85 n/m extends outward from a wall just above floor level. a 9.5 kg box sliding across

a frictionless floor hits the end of the spring and compresses it 6.5 cm before the spring expands and shoots the box back out. how fast was the box going when it hit the spring?

<span>Spring constant: 85N/m, 9.5kg box, compresses spring 0.035m. 

85N/m* 0.035m = 2.975N </span>

<span>
Use spring equation 1/2*k*(change in distance) ^ 2 </span>

<span>
1/2*85N/m*(0.035m) ^ 2=0.052063J </span>

<span>
Now use kinetic equation:</span>

<span>1/2*m*v^2 
0.052063J=0.5*9.5kg*v^2 
v = 0.1047 m/s</span>

A coin is dropped from a height of 188 meters. Neglecting air resistance, how much time (in seconds) was the coin in the air?
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

t=6.19s

Explanation:

With a initial velocity is zero, kinematics equation is:

y=1/2*g*t^2

t=\sqrt{2y/g}=\sqrt{2*188/9.81}=6.19s

Earning Goal: To be able to calculate work done by a constant force directed at different angles relative to displacement
lana [24]

Answer:

the work done by the 30N force is 4156.92 J.

For this problem, they don´t ask you to determine the work of the total force applied in the block. They only want the work done for the force of 30N, with an angle of 30º respectively of the displacement and a traveled distance of 160m. So:

W=F·s·cos(α)=30N·160m·cos(30º)=4156.92J

How much work does a student (m = 60 kg) do when he Climb a tower 80 m high?
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

W = 47040  J

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a student, m = 60 kg

Height of the tower, h = 80 m

We need to find the work done in climbing the tower. The work done is given by :

W = mgh

So,

W = 60 × 9.8 × 80

W = 47040  J

So, the required work done is 47040  J.
