Odd though it seems at first, gravity is pulling the cat down while the floor is pushing the cat up - in equal amounts. Forces are absolutely acting on the cat but they balance - so there is no net force.
Answer:
Δx = 1.2 m
Explanation:
The CHANGE of spring length) (Δx) can be found using PS = ½kΔx²
Δx = √(2PS/k) = √(2(450)/650) = 1.17669... ≈ 1.2 m
The actual length of the spring is unknown as it varies with material type, construction method, extension or compression, and other variables we have no clue about.
Answer:
the energy required for the extension is 12.25 J
Explanation:
Given;
force constant of trampoline spring, k = 800 N/m
extension of trampoline spring, x = 17.5 cm = 0.175 m
The energy required for the extension is calculated as;
E = ¹/₂kx²
E = 0.5 x 800 x 0.175²
E = 12.25 J
Therefore, the energy required for the extension is 12.25 J
Answer:
<em>2.78m/s²</em>
Explanation:
Complete question:
<em>A box is placed on a 30° frictionless incline. What is the acceleration of the box as it slides down the incline when the co-efficient of friction is 0.25?</em>
According to Newton's second law of motion:

Where:
is the coefficient of friction
g is the acceleration due to gravity
Fm is the moving force acting on the body
Ff is the frictional force
m is the mass of the box
a is the acceleration'
Given

Required
acceleration of the box
Substitute the given parameters into the resulting expression above:
Recall that:

9.8sin30 - 0.25(9.8)cos30 = ax
9.8(0.5) - 0.25(9.8)(0.866) = ax
4.9 - 2.1217 = ax
ax = 2.78m/s²
<em>Hence the acceleration of the box as it slides down the incline is 2.78m/s²</em>
